We are looking for an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer – On-Premises Automation to lead the design and implementation of secure, scalable, and repeatable infrastructure provisioning and automation solutions across on-premises environments and Azure.
The role will focus strongly on Jenkins and Ansible-based on-premises automation, while also integrating cloud automation, security controls, ServiceNow workflows, infrastructure-as-code, and operational governance.
The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on experience in enterprise on-premises infrastructure automation, excellent communication skills, and the ability to independently troubleshoot and lead complex automation initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development of secure and repeatable on-premises infrastructure provisioning pipelines.
- Design and manage Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for automated infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
- Develop reusable Jenkins pipeline templates for VM and physical server provisioning, OS deployment, configuration, certification, and rollback.
- Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks, roles, and automation frameworks for enterprise infrastructure.
- Develop PowerShell modules and automation scripts for Windows environments.
- Integrate automation workflows with ServiceNow for request intake, approvals, orchestration, change management, and CMDB updates.
- Implement security and compliance controls, including hardened-image validation, vulnerability/security scan gates, secrets management, approvals, and audit evidence.
- Work with Git-based development practices, code reviews, testing, and version-controlled automation.
- Support infrastructure-as-code and cloud automation using Terraform and Azure DevOps where required.
- Implement appropriate logging, monitoring, error handling, and troubleshooting mechanisms across automation pipelines.
- Perform root-cause analysis for automation and infrastructure failures and drive corrective actions.
- Support UAT, production deployment, hypercare, and operational handover.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, security, cloud, application, and platform teams to deliver reliable automation solutions.
- Provide technical guidance and contribute to automation standards, best practices, and reusable frameworks.
- 8–10 years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Automation, or a similar role.
- Strong hands-on experience with Jenkins and CI/CD automation.
- Strong hands-on experience with Ansible, including playbooks, roles, inventories, and enterprise automation.
- Strong experience working with on-premises infrastructure environments.
- Experience with Windows and Linux operating systems.
- Strong PowerShell scripting experience.
- Good experience with Git and version control.
- Working knowledge of Python scripting and automation.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), preferably Terraform.
- Exposure to Azure/Azure DevOps and cloud infrastructure automation.
- Experience with security scanning, secrets management, compliance controls, and secure automation practices.
- Understanding of infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational support.
- Experience integrating or working with ServiceNow, CMDB, and change-management workflows is an advantage.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
- Strong to very strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with global/US stakeholders.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Strong on-premises DevOps/infrastructure automation experience.
- Deep hands-on expertise in Jenkins + Ansible.
- Experience automating infrastructure provisioning rather than only application deployments.
- Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.
- Experience working in enterprise-scale environments with security, compliance, and change-management requirements.
- Ability to take ownership of automation initiatives and work independently.
- Strong stakeholder communication and collaboration skills.
