Job Description

Terraform Infrastructure Automation: o Design, develop, and manage scalable Terraform configurations for provisioning cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.). o Automate the creation and management of cloud resources including compute instances, storage, networking, and managed services using Terraform modules. o Implement robust state management strategies using Terraform Cloud or remote backends (e.g., S3, DynamoDB) to manage shared state in a secure manner. o Ensure Terraform code is reusable, modular, and maintainable across environments and projects. Ansible Configuration Management: o Automate configuration management, patching, and application deployment across infrastructure using Ansible playbooks and roles. o Write Ansible playbooks to automate provisioning tasks like software installation, environment configurations, and service orchestration. o Use Ansible Tower or other solutions to manage and orchestrate Ansible playbooks for scaling operations in complex environments. o Integrate Ansible with other tools in our CI/CD pipeline to automate deployment processes and continuous configuration management. Multi-cloud and Hybrid Cloud Environments: o Manage and provision infrastructure across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) using Terraform, while ensuring cross-platform compatibility. o Implement multi-cloud architecture and orchestration solutions using Terraform and Ansible for a unified approach to infrastructure and application management. CI/CD Pipeline Integration: o Integrate Terraform and Ansible workflows into CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, validation, and deployment of infrastructure and application configurations. o Work with DevOps teams to integrate Terraform plans and Ansible playbooks into automated deployment pipelines for continuous delivery of infrastructure. Infrastructure Security & Compliance: o Establish and maintain security best practices for Terraform and Ansible code, ensuring the secure management of sensitive data (e.g., secrets management). o Use Terraform Sentinel or Open Policy Agent (OPA) to enforce compliance policies and security controls in infrastructure deployments. o Implement automated auditing and compliance checks using Ansible to ensure infrastructure configurations align with organizational standards. Automation Strategy & Best Practices: o Lead the development of best practices for Terraform and Ansible usage, ensuring efficient and consistent automation across the team. o Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for managing infrastructure as code and configuration management processes. o Provide technical leadership by setting guidelines for Terraform module usage, Ansible playbook design, and version control strategies. Team Leadership & Mentorship: o Lead and mentor a team of DevOps engineers, providing guidance on Terraform and Ansible automation, ensuring the adoption of best practices and standards. o Conduct code reviews to maintain high code quality, scalability, and security across Terraform and Ansible configurations. o Foster a culture of learning and growth by sharing knowledge of new tools, techniques, and best practices with the team. Troubleshooting & Incident Management: o Troubleshoot infrastructure issues related to Terraform deployments and Ansible configurations, ensuring fast issue resolution. o Lead post-mortem reviews of any incidents involving infrastructure automation to improve future processes and mitigate risks.
