Lead the maturation of the team's IaC practice from the existing Ansible and Terraform framework, including repository structure, coding standards, reusable roles and modules, version control and peer review, and team onboarding.





Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks for configuration management, OS patching, application deployment, and compliance enforcement, along with Terraform configurations for provisioning and lifecycle management of virtual infrastructure across VMware and Morpheus/KVM.

Maintain NetBox as the authoritative source of truth for IPAM, DCIM asset records, and network topology, and integrate it with Ansible to automate routine physical equipment commissioning.

Serve as a Tier 2 escalation point for infrastructure incidents, performing root cause analysis and remediation with the networking, security, and cloud teams, and participate in the on-call rotation.

Follow change management processes, ensuring all changes are documented, reviewed, and approved in alignment with Thrive's ITSM standards.

2+ years of experience using Infrastructure as Code to provision and configure servers, hypervisors, and networking with Ansible (roles, playbooks, inventories) and Terraform (state management, CI/CD plan/apply workflows), along with automation scripting and Git-based version control (GitLab or GitHub)

Solid understanding of networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, routing, firewall rules) and shared storage (iSCSI, NFS, Fibre Channel, multipathing) in virtualized and cloud environments

Experience in datacenter or colocation environments, including racking, cabling, and in-cabinet power management

Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex system and infrastructure issues independently and under pressure in a fast-paced environment with a diverse workload

Strong documentation and communication skills,
