📋 Description

• Drive infrastructure standardization and operational excellence by designing and developing scalable automation frameworks in Python that enable consistent and repeatable deployments across cloud and on-premises environments. • Accelerate infrastructure provisioning by building and enhancing Terraform code-generation platforms using Python and Jinja2, enabling teams to produce validated, environment-specific infrastructure code from reusable templates. • Improve system reliability and compliance by developing and maintaining Puppet modules, manifests, and Hiera configurations that manage Linux and Windows environments at scale. • Increase operational efficiency across Windows platforms by creating robust PowerShell automation solutions for server management, Active Directory administration, and hybrid cloud integrations. • Simplify complex infrastructure workflows by developing internal automation tools, command-line utilities, and APIs that empower engineering teams to self-service common operational tasks. • Enhance the speed and safety of infrastructure delivery by integrating automation frameworks with CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated validation, testing, and deployment of infrastructure changes. • Improve software quality and reduce deployment risk by implementing comprehensive testing strategies for infrastructure code, including unit testing, linting, and integration testing. • Partner closely with cloud, platform, and application teams to identify manual processes, eliminate operational toil, and drive automation-first solutions across the organization. • Enable long-term scalability and maintainability by creating clear documentation, standards, and runbooks for automation frameworks and infrastructure templates. • Contribute to a strong engineering culture by participating in code reviews, sharing best practices, and continuously improving the quality, security, and maintainability of automation solutions.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of Python development experience — not scripting, but structured, testable application code • Strong understanding of Python packaging, virtual environments, dependency management (pip, Poetry), and code quality tooling (pylint, black, mypy) • Experience building CLI tools and automation frameworks using Python (Click, Typer, or similar) • Hands-on experience with Jinja2 templating — building reusable, parameterised templates for configuration and infrastructure code generation • Experience with pytest for unit and integration testing of automation code • Strong Terraform proficiency: module design, state management, remote backends, workspaces, and dependency graphs • Proven experience generating Terraform HCL programmatically using Python and Jinja2 — building template-driven pipelines that produce valid, linted, plan-ready infrastructure code • Familiarity with Terraform tooling: tflint, tfsec, terraform-docs, Terragrunt, or Atlantis • Hands-on Puppet experience: writing manifests and modules, Hiera data hierarchies, node classification, and r10k / Code Manager workflows • Experience managing mixed Linux and Windows environments with Puppet at scale • Proficient PowerShell scripting for Windows Server administration, task automation, and hybrid cloud integrations (AWS Tools for PowerShell, Azure PowerShell) • Experience automating Active Directory, Group Policy, or Windows networking tasks via PowerShell • Solid AWS experience: EC2, EKS/ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, and CloudWatch — understanding of services as automation targets • Familiarity with CI/CD platforms and integrating infrastructure code pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
