Ansible Automation and Platform Engineer

Full-time

General Motors Proving Ground

Austin, TX

Description

The Role:

The Ansible Automation & Platform Engineer is a strategic member of the organization’s Ansible Automation Platform (AAP)—responsible for its operations, roadmap execution, governance, and enterprise‑wide adoption. This role blends deep technical mastery with platform engineering leadership, ensuring that automation becomes a scalable, secure, and customer‑centric capability across the enterprise.

You will maintain, design and evolve the Ansible Platform, build reusable automation frameworks, integrate automation with other platforms like ServiceNow, and drive the next generation of operational excellence through Agentic AI‑powered automation. This role is central to enabling self‑service, reducing operational toil, and modernizing infrastructure operations.

What You'll Do:

Ansible Platform Development & Operation

Design, implement, and operate the Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) including controller, execution environments, mesh architecture, and collections strategy.

Define and maintain the Ansible Platform roadmap, including feature evolution, lifecycle management, scalability planning, and enterprise adoption milestones.

Establish platform governance: coding standards, role/playbook patterns, collections, testing frameworks, and security guardrails.

Build and maintain Execution Environments (EEs) optimized for performance, security, and dependency management.

Lead platform upgrades, migrations, and cross‑environment standardization.

Automation Framework Design

Design enterprise‑grade Ansible automation frameworks with reusable roles, collections, and modular playbooks.

Build automation for provisioning, configuration management, patching, compliance, and cloud infrastructure.

Integrate Ansible with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and event‑driven automation systems.

Implement self‑service automation capabilities for developers, operations, and business teams.

Agentic AI Integration

Integrate Agentic AI systems to enhance automation workflows, including:

AI‑driven playbook generation and validation

Automated remediation recommendations

Intelligent change‑impact analysis

AI‑assisted troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis

Design automation patterns that combine AI reasoning with Ansible execution for predictive and autonomous operations.

Collaborate with AI/ML teams to embed automation signals into AIOps pipelines.

Cloud, Security, and ITSM teams to drive automation maturity.

What You'll Need:

5–7+ years in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering.

Expert‑level proficiency with Ansible (playbooks, roles, collections, Jinja2, modules).

Hands‑on experience designing and operating Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).

Strong experience with Terraform, Chef, or other IaC tools.

Deep Linux engineering background and configuration management expertise.

Experience integrating automation with ServiceNow (CMDB, ITSM, workflows).

Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell).

Experience with AWS/Azure/GCP automation.

Familiarity with Kubernetes, containerization, and orchestration.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience implementing Agentic AI or AIOps‑driven automation.

Experience with event‑driven automation (StackStorm, EventBridge, Rundeck).

This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.
