This role is focused on on‑premise deployment automation, CI/CD, and operational excellence across industrial environments with strict real‑time and reliability requirements. The engineer will play a key role in standardizing deployments across dozens of manufacturing plants, improving automation, stability, observability, and release execution.

Unlike purely cloud-native roles, this position emphasizes on‑prem infrastructure, automation tooling, and disciplined release management, while selectively leveraging cloud services (AWS) for non‑production validation and testing.

• Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks and automation scripts for:

  • Application installation
  • Configuration updates
  • Infrastructure consistency

• Support SQL database deployment artifacts, including stored procedures and schema updates.

• Troubleshoot automation failures across environments and sites.

Observability, Monitoring & Reliability

• Integrate deployments with enterprise monitoring solutions (e.g., Datadog).

• Contribute to alerting, logging, and reliability improvements across plants.

• Participate in:

  • Incident response
  • Root cause analysis
  • Continuous system hardening

Release Management & Governance

• Support RFC-driven change processes (where applicable) and controlled production rollouts.
• Maintain deployment runbooks, transition documentation, and operational guides.
• Leverage Jira-based deployment tracking (Golden Epic model).

Collaboration & Communication

• Work closely with:

  • Internal development teams (code producers)
  • Platform engineering teams
  • Manufacturing stakeholders
  • External vendors (e.g., Rockwell)

• Communicate clearly across technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Participate in knowledge transfer and onboarding of new team members.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, Deployment Engineering, or Platform Operations

• Strong hands-on experience with on‑prem infrastructure environments

• Advanced Ansible experience for application packaging and deployment automation

• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (Git-based workflows, artifact management)

• Working knowledge of SQL Server:

  • Deploying scripts
  • Debugging stored procedures

• Familiarity with .NET-based applications (configuration, deployment, troubleshooting)

• Experience with Git and version control practices

• Understanding of release management and change control in enterprise environments

• Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, automation, and deployments

Nice to Have

• Exposure to AWS for non‑production or infrastructure testing (not cloud-first)
• Experience with containerization (Docker) or future container adoption
• Familiarity with manufacturing, OT, or industrial systems
• Experience integrating on‑prem platforms with enterprise monitoring tools (Datadog, ELK, etc.)
