We are seeking a Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer to lead the design and implementation of a ZeroTouch Build, Upgrade, and Certification framework for our on-premises GPU cloud environment. This role requires deep technical expertise in bare-metal provisioning, configuration management, and full-stack automation — from hardware to Kubernetes — using GitOps principles. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on engineer, capable of scaling infrastructure automation systems while mentoring others.

Key Responsibilities

Architect, lead, and implement fully automated ZeroTouch deployment pipelines for GPU cloud infrastructure spanning hardware, OS, and Kubernetes platform layers.
Build GitOps-based workflows to manage end-to-end infrastructure lifecycle — from provisioning to continuous compliance.
Design and maintain automation for:
- Bare-metal control – power cycling, provisioning, remote installs
- Firmware and configuration flashing – BIOS, NIC, RAID
- Hardware inventory management
- Configuration drift detection and remediation
Develop and extend internal automation frameworks using Ansible, Python, and related tools.
Act as a technical authority and mentor, collaborating closely with hardware, SRE, and platform engineering teams.
Lead architectural and design reviews for infrastructure automation systems.
Define and implement best practices for Infrastructure-as-Code, compliance, and operational resilience.
Champion automation-driven operational models, minimizing manual intervention to near zero.

Required Skills & Experience

10+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure engineering, automation, and systems design with proven delivery of scalable, maintainable solutions.
Core expertise in: Ansible, Python, ipmitool, firmware scripting, Linux shell scripting.
Deep knowledge of:
- Ansible – automation and configuration management
- Python – scripting, integration, and automation logic
- ipmitool/Redfish – low-level hardware management
Proven experience in bare-metal automation for data center environments, including:
- Power control and PXE booting
- BIOS/NIC/RAID firmware upgrades
- Hardware and platform inventory systems
Strong foundation in Linux systems, networking, and Kubernetes infrastructure.
Proficiency in GitOps workflows and related tools.
Experience with CI/CD systems and Git-based pipelines for infrastructure.
Familiarity with infrastructure monitoring, logging, and drift detection.
Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially across hardware, platform, and SRE teams.
