• Designing and implementing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates for environments including OCI, GCP, SIT, private cloud, VMware/VCF, and general systems.
• Automating the provisioning of infrastructure across cloud, virtualization, and systems platforms.
• Developing reusable automation templates for compute, network, Identity and Access Management (IAM), storage integration, monitoring, and backup onboarding.
• Standardizing automation patterns using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, scripting, and native platform tools.
• Reducing manual provisioning and repetitive operational tasks across various infrastructure domains.
• Supporting automation for virtual machine lifecycles, cloud resource provisioning, patching workflows, and operational handovers.
• Managing cloud infrastructure asset management automation across OCI, GCP, SIT, and private cloud environments.
• Maintaining automated cloud inventory and resource discovery workflows, identifying orphaned, unused, or underutilized resources.
• Automating reporting and cleanup workflows for orphaned objects, adhering to approval and change control processes.
• Implementing tagging standards for ownership, environment, cost center, service, criticality, lifecycle status, and business owner.
• Supporting cloud resource lifecycle management from provisioning through decommissioning.
• Integrating cloud asset data with CMDB/ServiceNow where applicable.
• Generating regular reports on cloud inventory, utilization, hygiene, and optimization, and supporting FinOps reporting by identifying waste and optimization opportunities.
• Ensuring automation templates enforce standard naming, tagging, and governance policies.
• Defining automation standards, reusable templates, coding practices, and operational runbooks.
• Supporting integration between automation workflows, ITSM, monitoring, and operational processes.
• Collaborating with Storage, Backup, Virtualization, Cloud, and Systems teams to identify automation opportunities.
• Reviewing and approving automation code, scripts, and templates.
• Guiding junior automation engineers and tower engineers on automation practices.
• Ensuring automation activities comply with change management and approval processes.
• Maintaining version-controlled repositories for infrastructure automation assets.

Required Qualifications

• A minimum of 7 years of experience in infrastructure, cloud, virtualization, systems, or automation roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible.
• Experience automating infrastructure across at least two of the following: OCI, GCP, VMware/VCF, private cloud, Windows, or Linux.
• A solid understanding of infrastructure operations, provisioning, patching, monitoring, lifecycle management, and operational governance.
• Experience with cloud landing zones, IAM, networking, compute, storage, and monitoring automation.
• Experience in cloud asset inventory, tagging governance, and resource lifecycle management.
• Experience identifying orphaned cloud resources such as unused disks, unattached IPs, idle VMs, orphan snapshots, unused buckets, stale accounts/projects, and unused network objects.
• Proficiency in scripting using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar languages.
• Familiarity with Git and version control for automation templates.
• Understanding of ITSM, ServiceNow, change management, and operational approval workflows.
• Ability to design reusable automation frameworks, not solely standalone scripts.
