• Experience with virtual machine and Kubernetes infrastructure provisioning.
• Strong understanding of infrastructure lifecycle automation, orchestration, and configuration management.
• Experience integrating infrastructure platforms with monitoring and observability solutions.
• Proven ability to translate architecture into actionable technical designs and engineering direction.
• Strong technical leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

• Experience with Dynatrace or comparable enterprise monitoring and observability platforms.
• Experience designing CMDB and Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) integrations.
• Experience with Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and automated infrastructure onboarding.
• Knowledge of OAuth, identity integrations, message queues, and event brokers.
• Experience designing self-service private cloud and enterprise infrastructure platforms.
• Experience with automated incident management, event processing, and operational remediation.
• Understanding of infrastructure security, access controls, and enterprise governance.

• Technical architecture and systems thinking.
• Infrastructure automation and orchestration.
• Architecture design and technical decision-making.
• Technical leadership and engineering guidance.
• Cross-functional collaboration with architects, developers, and infrastructure teams.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
• Focus on scalability, security, reliability, maintainability, and operational efficiency.

The ideal candidate is an infrastructure or platform architect with strong experience designing enterprise automation solutions using Terraform, Ansible, ServiceNow, and API-driven integrations. The candidate should be capable of defining architectural standards, guiding engineering teams, and delivering scalable self-service infrastructure capabilities across the complete infrastructure lifecycle.
