The Infrastructure Automation Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and implementing automation solutions across on premise, cloud, and hybrid infrastructure environments. The role focuses on improving efficiency, reliability, and scalability of IT operations by leveraging automation frameworks.

• Develop, maintain, and optimize automation scripts and frameworks using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Power Shell, Python, Shell, etc.
• Automate provisioning, configuration, patching, and lifecycle management of servers, storage, network, and cloud resources.
• Create reusable automation modules and templates for standardizing infrastructure deployments.

• Implement IaC for cloud and on prem environments using Terraform, ARM templates, Cloud Formation, or Bicep.
• Manage versioning, modularization, and CI/CD integration for IaC artifacts.

• Work with CI/CD pipelines (Azure Dev Ops, Jenkins, Git Lab CI, Git Hub Actions) to automate deployment workflows.
• Integrate automation with ITSM/CMDB systems (Service Now preferred).
• Support orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, VMware vRealize Automation.

• Automate monitoring configurations, alert setups, and self healing workflows using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace, Splunk, etc.

• Troubleshoot automation failures, optimize scripts, and improve reliability of automated workflows.
• Collaborate with platform, cloud, and network teams to identify automation opportunities and translate them into technical solutions.

• Ensure automated deployments comply with security, audit, and compliance standards (BFSI/ISO
