Lead, Infrastructure & Platform Automation

The Opportunity

Automation has become an increasingly important capability across technology operations, but adoption has evolved organically across teams, resulting in varying approaches, standards, and levels of maturity.

Automation has become an increasingly important capability across technology operations, but adoption has evolved organically across teams, resulting in varying approaches, standards, and levels of maturity.

• Lead adoption of a common automation framework across Windows and Linux platforms.
• Define automation standards, best practices, and reusable patterns that can be leveraged across technology teams.
• Champion automation-first thinking and help teams modernize manual operational processes.
• Establish measures and reporting to demonstrate automation adoption, reliability, and business value.

• Act as a subject matter expert for automation engineering and infrastructure automation practices.
• Design and review automation solutions, architectures, and implementation approaches.
• Guide infrastructure teams on automation design patterns, coding standards, and operational readiness.
• Contribute to complex automation initiatives where hands‑on technical leadership is required.

• Develop and enhance automation capabilities that improve efficiency, consistency, reliability, and compliance.
• Drive automation of infrastructure and platform lifecycle activities, including:
  • Configuration management
  • Configuration drift remediation
  • Orchestration
  • Compliance validation
  • Software deployment
  • Asset lifecycle management

• Define and prioritize the roadmap for self‑service automation capabilities.
• Partner with technical teams to identify new opportunities for automation and process improvement.
• Improve user adoption through intuitive and reliable automation services.

• Provide coaching, mentorship, and technical leadership to a small team.
• Foster collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.
• Support delivery of strategic automation initiatives while maintaining a hands‑on connection to key technical solutions.

• Deep expertise with Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) and configuration management practices.
• Strong development experience using Python to build automation frameworks, integrations, orchestration workflows, and self‑service capabilities.
• Strong scripting and automation experience using Power Shell across Windows infrastructure environments.
• Experience automating large‑scale Windows and Linux environments.
• Experience with API‑driven automation and systems integration.
• Experience with Git‑based development practices and CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code practices.
• Experience integrating automation with Service Now and operational tooling.
• Experience with Azure and/or AWS cloud platforms.
• Experience with compliance automation, vulnerability remediation, and configuration drift management.
• Experience operating within a large enterprise or regulated environment.

You are an experienced automation engineer and technology leader who enjoys solving complex operational challenges through engineering and automation.

You have a proven track record of building scalable automation solutions, establishing standards, and influencing teams to adopt modern engineering practices. You are comfortable writing code, reviewing automation designs, mentoring engineers, and engaging senior stakeholders to help drive strategic outcomes.

You are motivated by opportunities to:

• Reduce operational toil and eliminate repetitive work.
• Replace manual processes with reliable automation.
• Improve consistency across platforms and environments.
• Build reusable capabilities rather than one‑off solutions.
• Create a culture where automation is embedded into how technology teams operate.

Most importantly, you want to be the technical leader and advocate that helps turn automation into a core engineering capability rather than a collection of disconnected scripts and processes.
