Role PurposeThe Senior Infrastructure & Multi-Cloud Automation / IaC Engineer will lead infrastructure automation across private cloud, OCI, GCP, SIT, virtualization, and systems operations.The role focuses on standardizing infrastructure provisioning, improving cloud asset inventory, eliminating orphaned resources, reducing manual operational effort, and enabling scalable multi-cloud operations through Infrastructure-as-Code and automation.This is not primarily an application DevOps role. DevOps knowledge is useful, but the main focus is infrastructure automation, operational control, cloud hygiene, lifecycle governance, and managed operations efficiency.Key ResponsibilitiesInfrastructure & Multi-Cloud Automation Design and implement Infrastructure-as-Code templates for OCI, GCP, SIT, private cloud, VMware/VCF, and systems environments Automate infrastructure provisioning across cloud, virtualization, and systems platforms Build reusable automation templates for compute, network, IAM, storage integration, monitoring onboarding, and backup onboarding Standardize automation patterns using Terraform, Ansible, scripts, and platform-native tools Reduce manual provisioning and repetitive operational tasks across infrastructure towers Support automation for VM lifecycle, cloud resource provisioning, patching workflows, and operational handovers Support limited CI/CD or pipeline usage only where required for infrastructure automation workflowsCloud Asset Management & Inventory Own cloud infrastructure asset management automation across OCI, GCP, SIT, and private cloud environments Maintain automated cloud inventory and resource discovery workflows Identify orphaned, unused, unattached, or underutilized cloud resources Automate reporting and controlled cleanup workflows for orphaned objects, subject to approval and change control Implement tagging standards for ownership, environment, cost center, service, criticality, lifecycle status, and business owner Support cloud resource lifecycle management from provisioning to decommissioning Integrate cloud asset data with CMDB / ServiceNow where applicable Generate regular cloud inventory, utilization, hygiene, and optimization reports Support FinOps reporting by identifying waste, idle resources, and optimization opportunities Ensure automation templates enforce standard naming, tagging, and governance policiesGovernance, Documentation & Operational Integration Define automation standards, reusable templates, coding practices, and operational runbooks Support integration between automation workflows, ITSM, monitoring, and operational processes Work with Storage, Backup, Virtualization, Cloud, and Systems towers to identify automation opportunities Review and approve automation code, scripts, and templates Guide junior automation engineers and tower engineers on automation practices Ensure automation activities follow change management and approval processes Maintain version-controlled repositories for infrastructure automation assetsRequirements 7+ years of experience in infrastructure, cloud, virtualization, systems, or automation roles Strong hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible Experience automating infrastructure across at least two of the following: OCI, GCP, VMware/VCF, private cloud, Windows, Linux Strong understanding of infrastructure operations, provisioning, patching, monitoring, lifecycle management, and operational governance Experience with cloud landing zones, IAM, networking, compute, storage, and monitoring automation Experience in cloud asset inventory, tagging governance, and resource lifecycle management Experience identifying orphaned cloud resources such as unused disks, unattached IPs, idle VMs, orphan snapshots, unused buckets, stale accounts/projects, and unused network objects Good scripting skills using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar Familiarity with Git and version control for automation templates Understanding of ITSM, ServiceNow, change management, and operational approval workflows Ability to design reusable automation frameworks, not only standalone scriptsPreferred Experience Multi-cloud automation experience VMware / VCF automation exposure OpenShift or Kubernetes infrastructure automation exposure ServiceNow workflow or CMDB integration experience Basic FinOps awareness Basic CI/CD awareness for managing infrastructure automation pipelines, not application deliveryPreferred Certifications HashiCorp Terraform Associate Red Hat Ansible certification Google Cloud certification Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certification VMware certification Red Hat / OpenShift certification is a plus ITIL Foundation
