- Contribute to automation repositories in Git: implement small enhancements, fix defects, improve role documentation, and update inventories and variables.
- Support CI/CD activities for automation changes, including linting, basic tests, packaging and release, and help troubleshoot failed pipeline runs.
- Create, maintain, and automate operational and compliance reporting, such as vulnerability status, configuration drift, and job success or failure, using Splunk dashboards, searches, and Excel-based reporting where needed.
- Participate in operational support activities, including investigating automation failures, reviewing data, updating Ansible objects, and contributing to continuous improvement through post-incident actions.

• Familiarity with Active Directory fundamentals, Windows authentication concepts, Git-based workflows, Ansible concepts, and secure configuration practices.
• Strong attention to detail, clear communication skills, ability to follow documented processes, and awareness of security and compliance controls such as CIS policies and NIST.
