About the position

We’re looking for an Expert Infrastructure Engineer who doesn’t just keep infrastructure running; you automate it, improve it, and make it smarter.


This is a hands-on role for someone who loves Python, Linux, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD and cloud automation, and who gets excited about building systems that can do the heavy lifting themselves.


You’ll be working on a global Zero Trust transformation, helping create secure, automated and AI-enabled services across identity, connectivity, workspace, data and security environments.



What You’ll Be Doing


  • Design, build and operate automation and orchestration solutions across infrastructure, security, workflows and operational processes.
  • Develop powerful automation tooling, scripts and reusable libraries using Python and Bash.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins and AWS CodePipeline.
  • Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Automate configuration and deployments using Ansible.
  • Design and operate workflow orchestration using technologies such as Temporal, Camunda and AWS Step Functions.
  • Build event-driven and long-running automated processes.
  • Create SOAR-style runbooks and automated remediation solutions to reduce manual incident response.
  • Integrate systems using REST APIs, webhooks, message brokers and event-driven technologies.
  • Build automated API and regression testing into your solutions.
  • Make your automation idempotent, reliable and resilient, with smart retry, compensation and error-handling patterns.
  • Monitor automation in production using metrics, structured logging and tracing.
  • Define and maintain operational targets such as availability, latency and MTTR.
  • Own automation alerting, operational runbooks and participate in incident response/on-call activities.
  • Help ensure automation solutions are scalable, highly available and fault tolerant.

RequirementsYou’ll need 6+ years of hands-on experience in Automation Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering or a closely related field.


We’re particularly interested in someone who has owned production-grade automation and can confidently work across:


Python + Bash + Linux + CI/CD + Terraform + Ansible + Cloud + Orchestration


You should be someone who enjoys solving complex problems, improving processes and figuring out how to make things work better, faster and with less manual intervention.


We’re looking for an engineer who takes ownership, pays attention to detail and isn't afraid to get stuck into a tricky production problem.
