Infrastructure Engineer
🌍 Remote · United States
💼 Full-time
Title: Infrastructure Engineer MOI: Video 2 references also required
Overview
We're looking for an Ansible Automation Developer with a strong infrastructure background to design, build, and maintain automation across our server, storage, and virtualization environments. You'll move manual operational work into tested, version-controlled, repeatable code, and you'll work closely with systems engineers, storage and virtualization teams, and operations to make that automation reliable at scale. This role is a fit for someone who has spent time administering infrastructure and now builds the tooling that replaces the repetitive work.
What You'll Do
- Develop, test, and maintain Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections for provisioning, configuration management, patching, and compliance
- Automate the lifecycle of Linux and Windows servers, including build, templating, hardening, and decommissioning
- Integrate Ansible with virtualization and orchestration platforms, ITSM tools, and CI/CD pipelines
- Migrate legacy automation and configuration management (e.g., Puppet, Chef, shell scripts, vRO workflows) to Ansible
- Manage and improve Ansible Automation Platform (AAP/AWX): inventories, credentials, job templates, workflows, and RBAC
- Build and enforce standards for code structure, testing (Molecule, ansible-lint), peer review, and documentation
- Troubleshoot automation failures and infrastructure issues, and perform root cause analysis
- Partner with infrastructure and operations teams to identify high-value automation opportunities
- Document runbooks and mentor team members on automation best practices
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, systems administration, or a similar role
- 3+ years of hands-on experience writing production Ansible (roles, collections, Jinja2 templating, dynamic inventories, Vault)
- Strong Linux administration skills, preferably RHEL, including networking, storage, system, and security hardening
- Proficiency with Git and branching workflows; experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
- Scripting experience in Python and/or Bash
- Solid understanding of core infrastructure concepts: virtualization, storage, DNS/DHCP, load balancing, and enterprise networking basics
- Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and document your work
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Ansible Automation Platform / AWX / Tower
- Experience automating VMware vSphere, Nutanix, or public cloud (Azure/AWS) environments
- Familiarity with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools
- Exposure to OpenShift/Kubernetes, container platforms, or hybrid infrastructure
- Experience integrating with storage and backup platforms (e.g., Pure Storage, NetApp, Cohesity) or IPAM/DNS tools (e.g., Infoblox)
- Experience with ServiceNow or similar ITSM integrations
- Experience in a regulated or enterprise environment with change management processes
What Success Looks Like
- Manual build and patching tasks are replaced by reliable, repeatable pipelines
- Automation is tested, documented, and reusable by other teams
- Legacy tooling is migrated with minimal disruption to operations
- Operations teams trust and actively use the automation you deliver
