Role Purpose
The Senior Infrastructure & Multi-Cloud Automation / IaC Engineer will lead infrastructure automation across private cloud, OCI, GCP, SIT, virtualization, and systems operations.
The role focuses on standardizing infrastructure provisioning, improving cloud asset inventory, eliminating orphaned resources, reducing manual operational effort, and enabling scalable multi-cloud operations through Infrastructure-as-Code and automation.
This is not primarily an application DevOps role. DevOps knowledge is useful, but the main focus is infrastructure automation, operational control, cloud hygiene, lifecycle governance, and managed operations efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure & Multi-Cloud Automation
Design and implement Infrastructure-as-Code templates for OCI, GCP, SIT, private cloud, VMware/VCF, and systems environments
Automate infrastructure provisioning across cloud, virtualization, and systems platforms
Build reusable automation templates for compute, network, IAM, storage integration, monitoring onboarding, and backup onboarding
Standardize automation patterns using Terraform, Ansible, scripts, and platform-native tools
Reduce manual provisioning and repetitive operational tasks across infrastructure towers
Support automation for VM lifecycle, cloud resource provisioning, patching workflows, and operational handovers
Support limited CI/CD or pipeline usage only where required for infrastructure automation workflows
Cloud Asset Management & Inventory
Own cloud infrastructure asset management automation across OCI, GCP, SIT, and private cloud environments
Maintain automated cloud inventory and resource discovery workflows
Identify orphaned, unused, unattached, or underutilized cloud resources
Automate reporting and controlled cleanup workflows for orphaned objects, subject to approval and change control
Implement tagging standards for ownership, environment, cost center, service, criticality, lifecycle status, and business owner
Support cloud resource lifecycle management from provisioning to decommissioning
Integrate cloud asset data with CMDB / ServiceNow where applicable
Generate regular cloud inventory, utilization, hygiene, and optimization reports
Support FinOps reporting by identifying waste, idle resources, and optimization opportunities
Ensure automation templates enforce standard naming, tagging, and governance policies
Governance, Documentation & Operational Integration
Define automation standards, reusable templates, coding practices, and operational runbooks
Support integration between automation workflows, ITSM, monitoring, and operational processes
Work with Storage, Backup, Virtualization, Cloud, and Systems towers to identify automation opportunities
Review and approve automation code, scripts, and templates
Guide junior automation engineers and tower engineers on automation practices
Ensure automation activities follow change management and approval processes
Maintain version-controlled repositories for infrastructure automation assets
Requirements
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, Linux
Strong 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
Good scripting skills using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar
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 only standalone scripts
Preferred Experience
Multi-cloud automation experience
VMware / VCF automation exposure
OpenShift or Kubernetes infrastructure automation exposure
ServiceNow workflow or CMDB integration experience
Basic FinOps awareness
Basic CI/CD awareness for managing infrastructure automation pipelines, not application delivery
Preferred Certifications
HashiCorp Terraform Associate
Red Hat Ansible certification
Google Cloud certification
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certification
VMware certification
Red Hat / OpenShift certification is a plus
