Cloud Automation Architect

Job Description:

Job Title: Cloud Automation Architect | Senior Individual Contributor • Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering

Location: Hyderabad (5 Days Work from Office)

Experience: 12+ Years

Shift Timing: 2.00 pm to 11.00 pm

About the Role

Mandatory Skills: AWS • Ansible • Kubernetes • Terraform • Python / Bash

The Role

We are looking for a senior automation architect who does not just write scripts someone who builds production-grade automation frameworks from the ground up. You will own the full lifecycle: infrastructure provisioning, configuration, validation, self-healing, and monitoring. If you have spent years turning manual, fragmented ops into reliable, repeatable systems — this is built for you.

What You Will Be Responsible For

Ansible Automation Design and maintain enterprise-grade playbooks, roles, and collections. Automate OS patching, configuration drift correction, security hardening, and compliance enforcement across AWS, Azure, VMware, and REST-integrated environments. Combine Ansible with Terraform for seamless post-provisioning configuration.

AWS Cloud Automation Architect serverless and event-driven automation using Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, S3 triggers, and Systems Manager. Build scalable, cross-account automation across AWS Organizations with proper IAM boundaries. Align all implementations with CIS, NIST, and AWS Well-Architected standards.

Kubernetes & Helm Develop and own custom Helm charts for multi-environment Kubernetes deployments. Manage the full Helm lifecycle including upgrades, rollbacks, and canary releases. Drive GitOps adoption using ArgoCD or Flux. Automate namespace management, RBAC, secrets, and network policies.

Infrastructure as Code & CI/CD Build reusable, versioned Terraform modules covering AWS networking, IAM, EKS, ECS, RDS, and security controls. Implement CI/CD pipelines for IaC using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps — with automated testing, linting, drift detection, and policy enforcement baked in.

Security & Compliance Automation Automate CIS benchmark enforcement, vulnerability remediation, and infrastructure hardening. Integrate with CyberArk, AWS Secrets Manager, and SSM Parameter Store. Implement policy-as-code using OPA, Gatekeeper, or Conftest. Automate certificate lifecycle management end to end.

Observability & Auto-Remediation Connect automation workflows to New Relic and LogicMonitor for telemetry-driven triggers. Build self-healing routines that detect, diagnose, and resolve incidents automatically. Convert operational runbooks into fully automated diagnostic workflows to cut MTTR significantly.

ITSM Integration Integrate automation into SymphonyAI-driven ticketing, approval flows, CMDB updates, and change management processes. Build operational runbooks that map directly to ITSM workflows.

What We Are Looking For

• 8+ years of hands-on infrastructure automation experience in enterprise environments
• Expert-level Ansible engineering — advanced Jinja2 templating, dynamic inventory, custom module development
• Strong Kubernetes and Helm expertise — chart authoring, multi-environment lifecycle management
• Deep Terraform knowledge — reusable module design, remote state, CI/CD integration
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation scripting
• Solid AWS architecture knowledge — serverless patterns, IAM design, multi-account networking

Bonus Points

GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux • OPA / Gatekeeper / Conftest • Multi-account AWS automation • Service mesh (Istio / Linkerd) • IaC testing with Molecule, Terratest, Checkov, or tfsec • AWS cost optimization automation

Why Join

• Own automation end to end — not just a piece of it
• Replace reactive, manual operations with intelligent, self-healing systems
• Work across cloud, security, infrastructure, and platform engineering
• Build patterns and frameworks the entire engineering org will adopt
• Directly reduce MTTR, improve security posture, and accelerate cloud maturity
