- Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and/or GCP using IaC patterns, including networking, IAM, compute, storage, databases, and managed services.

- Build golden images and base machine/container artifacts using Packer, integrated into CI pipelines for deterministic, secure builds.

- Implement container orchestration and release automation using Kubernetes, Helm, and Git-based workflows; standardize manifests and release processes.

- Establish policy-as-code and compliance gates (OPA/Conftest, HashiCorp Sentinel, or Checkov) across IaC pipelines to enforce security and regulatory requirements.

- Integrate secrets management and dynamic credentials with HashiCorp Vault or cloud-native equivalents; remove embedded credentials from code and pipelines.

- Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI and Jenkins) for application and IaC, including quality checks, security scans, and environment promotion.

- Define and enforce configuration management standards in Ansible (linting, idempotency, inventory strategy, dynamic inventory for clouds).

- Implement observability for automation platforms and workloads using Prometheus, Grafana or Splunk; publish actionable SLO dashboards.

- Drive cost-aware infrastructure design and tagging, collaborating with FinOps to monitor and optimize resource utilization and cloud spend.
