    Department Overview

    We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to lead, design, and optimize automated infrastructure platforms across on-premises and multi-cloud environments (Azure & GCP).
    In this senior individual contributor role, you will champion an automation-first and continuous- optimization mindset—building resilient deployment pipelines, automating enterprise platform services, and modernizing infrastructure configurations. While operating primarily as a hands-on technical expert, you will also mentor engineers, guide architectural discussions, and drive operational excellence across team projects.

    Job Description

    Key Responsibilities
    Architecture & Automation Design
    ● Design and implement scalable, resilient, and automated platform architectures across on-premises enterprise datacenters, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform
    (GCP).
    ● Lead the design of infrastructure automation pipelines, configuration management workflows, and environment orchestration using an automation-and-optimization approach.
    Configuration Management & Deployment
    ● Develop, standardise, and manage infrastructure playbooks, roles, and automation workflows using Ansible and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (Automation
    Controller / AAP).
    ● Oversee end-to-end on-premises infrastructure deployments, hybrid cloud integrations, and migration strategies.
    ● Manage structured configuration datasets using YAML, XML, JSON, and environment- specific parameters across disparate platforms.

    Scripting & Tooling
    ● Write production-grade, maintainable scripts and tooling primarily in Python, supported by extensive Bash and legacy/specialized Perl scripting for automation, integration, and operational tasks.
    ● Maintain, refactor, and modernize legacy automation scripts (Perl/Bash) into modern
    Python and Ansible-driven solutions.
    Operating Systems & System Administration
    ● Provide deep technical expertise in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) administration, kernel tuning, security hardening, storage configuration, and troubleshooting.
    ● Ensure platform security standards, compliance auditing, and system updates are automated seamlessly across large server fleets.
    Technical Leadership & Collaboration
    ● Serve as a senior technical escalation point for complex platform, deployment, and infrastructure issues.
    ● Lead and assist project teams through architectural design reviews, technical planning, and task execution.
    ● Mentor junior and mid-level engineers in automation best practices, clean code/scripting standards, and modern platform engineering principles.

    Required Qualifications & Experience
    ● Experience: 6+ years in Infrastructure Engineering, or Platform Engineering, with strong experience in a Senior Individual Contributor capacity.
    ● Linux Expertise: Expert-level administration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating systems.
    ● Automation Platform: Deep hands-on experience with Ansible and Red Hat Ansible
    Automation Platform (AAP) for enterprise configuration management and orchestration.
    ● Scripting Languages: Strong proficiency in Python (primary modern scripting), Bash
    (system automation), and Perl (legacy script refactoring and system automation).
    ● Data Formats: Advanced familiarity working with YAML, XML, JSON, and structured configuration schemas.
    ● Cloud & On-Premises Experience:
    ○ Hands-on experience architecting and operating On-Premises datacenter deployments.
    ○ Demonstrated hands-on experience provisioning and managing infrastructure in
    Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

    ● Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation.
    ● Experience with enterprise CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure
