Tech Stack Delivery:
Automate the provisioning and configuration of our operational ecosystem, including tools across observability (Prometheus, Elastic, Checkmk), security/compliance (Tenable, Red Hat Satellite), service registry/IPAM (Net Box), container orchestration (ArgoCD), and artifact management (Artifactory, Git Lab).
Engineering Standards:
Apply developer methodologies-such as version control, code reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD-to all infrastructure configurations.
Required Skills & Experience
Software Development Foundation:
Strong background in software engineering or development, with hands-on coding experience in Python.
Core IaC Expertise:
Proven experience with Terraform (provisioning) and Ansible (configuration management).
Pipeline Delivery:
Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (Git Lab CI, Jenkins, or similar) to ship both software and infrastructure changes.
Linux Environment:
Solid understanding of Enterprise Linux environments (e.g., RHEL).
