• Very extensive skills with Terraform, Ansible, and either OpenShift or VM, and be able to tie it all together – integrate components and make the system work end-to-end.
• Configuration management is going to be about components, need somebody that can jump in and work with it not just follow runbooks.
• Hands-on development and deployment experience with Terraform.
• Deep experience building roles and automation playbooks with Ansible.

• Basic to moderate scripting experience with Python for automation.
• Proven ability to work in an engineering-focused, DevOps-oriented environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive, growth-oriented mindset.
