Location: San Jose, CA 95110
Overview:
We are seeking a highly hands-on DevOps Engineer with deep expertise in Terraform and Ansible to design, build, and maintain scalable automation frameworks across enterprise environments.
This is not a traditional Linux System Administrator role. We are looking for an engineering-focused automation professional who can architect infrastructure-as-code solutions, integrate system components, and deliver end-to-end automation across cloud, container, and on-prem platforms.
The ideal candidate thrives in large enterprise environments and can operate independently with minimal ramp-up time.

-
Design, develop, and enhance Terraform modules to build scalable infrastructure platforms
-
Develop, deploy, and maintain advanced Ansible playbooks and roles across the full stack

Perform hands-on OS builds, patching, troubleshooting, and maintenance (primarily RHEL)
-
Integrate infrastructure components using Python scripting
-
Deploy and manage applications within OpenShift or virtualized environments
-
Support configuration management initiatives and infrastructure standardization efforts
-
Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and resolve system-level challenges
-
Collaborate with development and platform teams to ensure seamless deployments

Deep experience supporting and troubleshooting RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) in production environments

Exposure to SUSE and/or AIX
-
Solid UNIX/Linux fundamentals

Experience with OS builds, patching, and system-level troubleshooting
Programming & Integration
-
Strong Python scripting skills for automation and system integration
-
Ability to integrate Terraform, Ansible, OpenShift/VMs, and OS components into a fully functioning ecosystem
Platform & Environment
-
Experience with OpenShift or container platforms
-
Experience with virtualization environments (VMware or similar)
-
Background working in large enterprise environments
