Senior Automation Engineer (Red Hat Certified)

About the Role

We are hiring Senior Automation Engineers with deep Red Hat enterprise expertise to join a dedicated engineering pod. In this role, you will lead hands-on initiatives to eliminate manual overhead, architect robust Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and build custom intermediary services to optimize complex CI/CD integrations across enterprise environments.

Key Responsibilities

• IaC & Automation Development: Architect, write, and maintain production-grade Ansible playbooks/roles and enterprise Terraform modules to automate complex infrastructure state management and migrate repository configurations (users, groups, repos) from Gerrit to GitLab seamlessly.
  

• Red Hat Ecosystem Integration: Leverage Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) / AWX to centralize pipeline execution, manage dynamic inventories, enforce RBAC, and standardize configuration management across enterprise hybrid environments.
  

• API Integration & Orchestration: Utilize GitLab REST/GraphQL APIs and Jenkins automation endpoints to programmatically execute configuration blueprints, audit permissions, and validate mass-migration execution.
  

• Proxy & Relay Service Development: Design, write, and maintain custom high-availability translation services (e.g., Python/Go RelayProxy) and ingress routing solutions (nGrok/HAProxy) to ingest, validate, and fan out GitLab webhooks to multiple downstream Jenkins controllers.
  

• Bulk Execution & Optimization: Lead the automated batch migration and baseline auditing of 40+ enterprise repositories, converting a 2-hour-per-repo manual effort into a scalable, zero-downtime automated pipeline.
  

• Operational Excellence & Monitoring: Ensure high availability for custom intermediary services, establish health-check endpoints, monitor webhooks delivery, and lead deep-dive root-cause analysis (RCA) on integration bottlenecks.
