Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade automation using Ansible, including reusable roles, playbooks, inventories, and frameworks
• Automate provisioning, configuration management, patching, compliance enforcement, and operational workflows across Windows and Linux environments
• Establish automation governance, standards, and reusable patterns aligned with enterprise best practices
• Lead the transition from manual administration to automation-first operations and maintain source-controlled automation repositories
• Provide senior-level administration and support for Windows Server environments (2019/2022), including lifecycle management, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, and core services
• Administer enterprise Linux environments (RHEL, Ubuntu, or equivalent), including installation, patching, system configuration, and performance troubleshooting
• Implement OS hardening, security configurations, and compliance enforcement across both platforms
• Automate routine operational tasks, reduce configuration drift, and develop runbooks and recovery procedures
• Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Collaborate with Security, Architecture, and Infrastructure teams to align automation with enterprise standards
• Act as a technical lead for infrastructure automation initiatives and mentor operations teams
• Promote automation adoption and contribute to enterprise change management and release processes
• Provide strategic input into automation tooling and infrastructure standards

Skills & Qualifications:

• 7+ years of enterprise IT infrastructure or systems administration experience
• 3+ years of hands-on Ansible automation experience in production environments
• Advanced experience with Windows Server (2019/2022) and enterprise Linux distributions
• Strong scripting skills: PowerShell (Windows) and Bash/shell scripting (Linux)
• Experience automating Windows systems using WinRM and Ansible modules
• Solid knowledge of Active Directory, DNS, networking fundamentals, and enterprise infrastructure services
• Experience working in structured enterprise or ITIL-based environments
• Proficiency in Ansible (roles, playbooks, collections), YAML, and Git version control
• Experience with patch automation, configuration enforcement, and enterprise monitoring/logging tools
• Preferred:
  • Experience with Ansible Automation Platform, AWX, or Ansible Tower
  • Experience managing large-scale environments (hundreds/thousands of servers)
  • Hybrid/cloud experience (Microsoft Azure preferred)
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code and DevOps practices
  • Virtualization experience (VMware, Hyper-V)
  • Knowledge of security baselines, CIS hardening, and compliance automation
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and documentation skills
• Ability to translate manual processes into scalable automation
