• Champion Automation: Drive a culture of "automation first" by overseeing the development and maintenance of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and scripting with Python.
• Manage Work and Delivery: Utilize Kanban methodologies to manage the team's workflow, schedule and prioritize work, and ensure timely delivery of projects and maintenance tasks.
• Engage with Leadership: Act as the primary point of contact between the Infrastructure Engineering team and executive management, clearly communicating project status, risks, and resource utilization through effective tracking and reporting.
• Govern and Document: Ensure the creation and maintenance of comprehensive documentation for all infrastructure, configurations, and procedures. Oversee schedules for patching, maintenance windows, and other operational activities.
• Manage Resources: Handle equipment procurement, vendor relationships, and budget tracking to ensure the team has the resources needed to succeed.
• Uphold Security and Compliance: Partner with the Information Security team to implement and monitor robust security systems (firewalls, IDS/IPS, WAF), conduct vulnerability testing, and ensure adherence to all compliance requirements.
