What you will bring:

  • 3+ years of deep production experience with Red Hat Ansible or upstream Ansible (writing complex playbooks, roles, custom modules, and collections)
  • Proven track record designing and delivering enterprise automation solutions in large, regulated environments
  • Strong experience with at least two legacy configuration management tools (Puppet, Chef, SaltStack, or PowerShell DSC) - migration experience is a significant advantage
  • Proficiency in Python, YAML, Bash, and infrastructure-as-code practices
  • Solid understanding of modern DevOps tooling and practices (Git, CI/CD pipelines, Jenkins/GitLab CI/GitHub Actions/Tekton, ArgoCD, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience integrating automation with major public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) and virtualization platforms
  • Working knowledge of IT security and compliance fundamentals (CIS benchmarks, DISA STIGs, PCI-DSS, FFIEC, etc.)
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills - comfortable engaging both engineers and C-level executives
  • Demonstrated consulting delivery experience (scoping, workshop facilitation, statement-of-work creation, project execution)

Nice to have:

  • Active Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation or Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA)
  • Financial Services industry experience (banking, capital markets, insurance) - highly desirable
  • Experience with Event-Driven Ansible, Ansible Lightspeed, or writing custom AAP execution environments
  • Proven large-scale migrations from Puppet/Chef/SaltStack to Ansible Automation Platform
  • Network automation experience (Cisco ACI, Arista, Juniper, F5, etc.)
  • Integration of Ansible with ServiceNow (or other ITSM) for closed-loop remediation and CMDB synchronization
  • Automation of Red Hat OpenShift or Kubernetes Day-2 operations
