Job Description
About the Role
At Agivant, we're looking for a DevOps Image Engineer who enjoys building clean, reliable infrastructure from the ground up. You'll join a focused, fast-moving engineering POD with a explicit mission: delivering a polished library of production-ready OS images for a leading global hosting provider.
Every two weeks, you'll ship hardened, fully configured Linux images — automating everything from base OS creation and security hardening to pre-loading complex software stacks (LAMP, LEMP, Docker, Kubernetes, WordPress). You'll own the full image lifecycle: writing the code, validating the output, publishing to OpenStack Glance, and standing behind what you ship with L3 production support.
If you take pride in zero-defect releases and want your work to directly power hosting infrastructure at scale, this role is built for you.

What You'll Be Doing
- Write and maintain Packer templates (HCL) and configuration scripts (Bash/Ansible) to fully automate creation of base and enriched OS images,



including VPS templates with cloud-init integration ready for multi-tenant provisioning.
- Harden Linux distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, AlmaLinux) using CIS benchmarks and security best practices before anything ships.
- Install, tune, and validate software stacks on base images — web servers (Apache, Nginx), databases (MySQL, MariaDB), languages (PHP, Node.js), and CMS platforms (WordPress, Joomla).
- Wire builds into CI/CD pipelines for fully automated, zero-touch publishing to OpenStack Glance.
- Build automated smoke tests (Goss, InSpec, or custom scripts) covering boot integrity, network configuration, and service availability.
- Own L3 escalations — diagnose P1/P2 incidents, apply hotfixes, and keep shipped images healthy.
- Deliver consistently in Agile sprints: stand-ups, planning, retrospectives, and a steady cadence of 2 production-ready images per sprint.
