• Develop and maintain automation solutions using scripting languages and infrastructure automation tools
• Serve as the technical lead and subject matter expert for enterprise web and application server platforms
• Review and analyze high impact outages to ensure the proper processes and procedures are in place to avoid problems in the future
• Design, build, deploy and maintain infrastructure solutions through collaborative efforts with the team and third party vendors
• Design, code, test, debug and document programs using Agile development practices
• Make decisions in technical designs, implementation plans and identify project risks and resource requirements
• Direct the daily risk and control flow of operations, focusing on policies, procedures and work standards to ensure success
• Recommend courses of action to maintain cost effectiveness and achieve results
• Collaborate and consult with peers, colleagues and managers to resolve issues and achieve goals

• 3+ years of experience implementing GitOps or similar automation practices.
• 2+ years of experience with Kubernetes/OCP, containerization, and hybrid cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• 2+ years of experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating automation into platform services
