  • Experience with enterprise repositories, namely GitHub Enterprise, as well as deployment management and CI/CD pipelines, namely through Jenkins and Harness.
  • Experience with multiple active scripting languages and strong IaC, including and especially Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell and Python.
  • Strong knowledge of multiple flavors of Linux and Windows Server, along with the experience in administering these systems through scripted/automated processes.
  • Strong knowledge with infrastructure services and systems, including Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, DFS and Group Policy (automation, setup, implementation, optimization, etc.)
  • Understanding of the workings and operation of virtual environments, including VMware ESXi, vCenter, vCAC, VDIs, etc.)
  • Working knowledge of implementing automation orchestration across all life cycle environments
  • Understanding of configuration management and software deployment principles (experience with one or more configuration management and/or software deployment systems preferred)

It’s a bonus if you have:

  • Experience with network principles and architecture

  • Experience with enterprise monitoring solutions

  • Experience with storage technologies and principles and SANs (e.g. Pure, Netapp, EMC)

  • Excellent communication skills are a must, such as to lead design discussions, planning sessions and triage.

  • A track record and understanding of what it means for full ownership of task, project and responsibilities

  • Ability to work independently, as well as part of a team.

  • Analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to demonstrate a proven troubleshooting methodology

  • Willing to work off-hours, including as part of an on-call schedule and during project release windows
