Infrastructure Automation Engineer

Infrastructure Automation EngineerInfrastructure Automation Engineer to join our global Communications & Automation organization. This role supports a major U.S.-based financial institution and is part of a broader Engineering team focused on modernizing and automating large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure. As a key contributor, you will help transform traditional infrastructure operations—spanning network, compute, storage, virtualization, cloud platforms, and middleware—into a fully automated, API-driven, scalable ecosystem. You will design, build, and maintain automation frameworks using software development principles, DevOps methodologies, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and modern automation tooling. This is a software-engineering role applied to infrastructure: we are looking for an engineer who treats automation as a product—idempotent, testable, and version-controlled—rather than one who scripts around problems as they arise. This role requires strong technical expertise, the ability to collaborate across global teams, and the capability to translate infrastructure requirements into reproducible, automated workflows.Key ResponsibilitiesInfrastructure Automation & DevelopmentInfrastructure as Code (IaC) & ToolingInfrastructure Architecture & SecurityLinux, Systems & DevOpsCollaboration & Cross-Functional WorkInnovation & Emerging TechnologiesRequired QualificationsBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics Engineering, or related field (or equivalent B.E. / B.Tech / MCA). 5-7+ years in infrastructure automation. Strong proficiency in Python for automation, including experience working with APIs, structured data, and system automation libraries. Hands-on experience with Ansible (playbooks, roles, inventories) or other configuration management tools. Experience working with structured data formats (JSON, YAML, XML) and templating systems. Solid understanding of core compute, OS fundamentals, virtualization concepts, and general infrastructure architecture. Experience with Git, code reviews, and collaborative development workflows. Familiarity with CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, etc.). Experience with Power platform, PowerBI, Power Automate, etc. Strong Linux systems background. Demonstrated software-engineering discipline: writing reusable, idempotent, testable automation rather than one-off scripts. Experience testing automation (e.g., pytest) and exposure to policy-as-code / compliance guardrails and secrets management. Strong written English and the ability to collaborate effectively with distributed U.S. and India teams.Preferred QualificationsExperience automating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure) using IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM). Exposure to virtualization and containerization technologies (Nutanix, Docker, Kubernetes). Understanding of Python testing frameworks (pytest). Experience with monitoring/telemetry automation (Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic). Familiarity with AIOps concepts or event-driven automation platforms. Experience working in highly regulated industries (financial services preferred). Self-service / orchestration platforms (ServiceNow, VMware Aria Automation) and ITSM / CMDB integration. GitOps (Argo CD, Flux); policy-as-code (OPA, Sentinel, Kyverno); secrets management (Vault, CyberArk). Observability tooling and OpenTelemetry, with basic SLI/SLO practice. Relevant certifications (Red Hat / Ansible, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, CKA, AWS / Azure, security). Experience supporting U.S. or global financial-services clients in an offshore delivery model.Soft SkillsExcellent analytical and troubleshooting skills across infrastructure and automation domains. Strong communication and collaboration skills to work across global, cross-functional engineering teams. Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-security enterprise environment. High attention to detail, documentation discipline, and process-oriented mindset.Mandate SkillsAutomate server, network, storage, and cloud resource provisioning. Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions. Create deployment and configuration automation workflows.
