Job Description
You'll need to have:
-
Bachelor's degree or four or more years of hands-on work experience in lieu of degree.
-
Six or more years of experience in a DevOps, automation engineering, or platform engineering role.
-
Strong, production-grade Ansible skills — writing roles, playbooks, dynamic inventories, and custom modules.
-
Strong Python skills — clean, testable, maintainable code used in real automation workflows, not just one-off scripts.
-
Hands-on database experience — writing queries, managing schemas, and integrating databases into automation pipelines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB).
-
Solid CI/CD pipeline experience using Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent.
-
Proficiency in Git-based workflows (Bitbucket, GitLab, or GitHub).
-
Linux/Unix systems experience with solid Shell scripting skills.
-
Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
-
Ability to work US Central Standard Time (CST) business hours (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CT), which corresponds to 6:30 PM to 3:30 AM Indian Standard Time.
Even better if you have:
-
Experience in telecommunications, RAN, vRAN, or virtualized network infrastructure — particularly with vendors like Ericsson, Samsung, Corning, HPE, ZT Systems, or Dell in a network context.
-
Experience with server hardware lifecycle management (BIOS/firmware upgrades, OS provisioning, driver management) in a data center or edge environment.
-
Experience with Terraform, Helm, or other IaC tooling beyond Ansible.
-
REST API development experience — building or integrating APIs as part of automation pipelines.
-
Monitoring and observability experience (Grafana, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Kafka, Icinga).
-
Hands-on experience with LLMs or AI agent frameworks — for example, using tools like Claude Code, LangChain, or similar to build AI-assisted automation, accelerate code generation, or prototype agentic workflows.
-
Experience with OpenStack, VMware, or hybrid cloud environments relevant to NFV/vRAN infrastructure.
