• Contribute to architectural designs, technical documentation, and provide engineering solutions for improved security.
• Stay current with new tools, technologies, and industry best practices, and advise teams on secure coding practices.
• Integrate Terraform with Ansible to automate the provisioning and configuration of infrastructure, ensuring a seamless and consistent infrastructure-as-code (IaC) deployment process across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Use Terraform to manage and provision infrastructure resources (e.g., compute, storage, networking) and leverage Ansible for post-provisioning configuration management, including application deployments and security hardening.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to design end-to-end automation workflows that combine Terraform's infrastructure provisioning with Ansible’s configuration management, ensuring scalable, repeatable, and secure deployments.
