What You’ll Do

·         Automate AD/Windows administration via Ansible (user/group lifecycle, GPOs, hardening)

·         Manage and tune LDAP directories; support SSO and AuthN/AuthZ integrations

·         Deploy and manage Kubernetes/EKS clusters and core AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, VPC)

·         Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Git)

·         Support event-driven architectures using AWS SNS/SQS

·         Manage database operations (backup, scaling, patching, security) across RDS, DynamoDB, and Graph DB (e.g., Neo4j)

·         Implement monitoring and alerting (CloudWatch, Splunk) and support compliance/audit requirements

·         Drive root cause analysis, automation improvements, and cost optimization

·         Partner cross-functionally with security, infrastructure, and application teams to deliver secure, identity-first solutions at scale

What You’ll Bring (Must-Have)

·         Ansible – Windows/AD/LDAP automation

·         Active Directory & LDAP – administration and troubleshooting

·         Kubernetes on AWS (EKS) – deployment, scaling, cluster management

·         Scripting: Python, PowerShell, YAML

·         Messaging: AWS SNS/SQS

·         Databases: RDS, DynamoDB, Graph DB (e.g., Neo4j)

Nice to Have

·         Ping Directory experience

·         Java, or backend/full-stack development experience

Qualifications

·         Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field

·         6–8+ years of DevOps experience, with hands-on Ansible+AD/LDAP and Kubernetes-on-AWS skills (both mandatory)

·         AWS Certification (DevOps Engineer or Solutions Architect) preferred

·         Agile/Scrum exposure

·         Strong analytical and investigative mindset

·         Ability to convert technical findings into executive-friendly insights

·         Excellent communication skills — interpersonal, oral, written, and documentation — with strong customer-facing presence for stakeholder presentations and discussions

Additional Attributes

·         Strong organizational skills, including the ability to adapt to shifting priorities and meet frequent deadlines

·         Highly resourceful, collaborative team player with a process-driven approach to security delivery — able to work independently with initiative and a sense of urgency

·         Exemplifies a customer-focused, action-oriented, results-driven culture

·         Proactive, forward-looking problem-solver with strong judgment and decision-making capability, a desire for continuous learning, and the initiative to propose solutions

·         Ability to act with discretion and maintain complete confidentiality

·         Dedicated to our client’s values of non-negotiable integrity, valuing our people, exceeding client expectations, and embracing intellectual curiosity and rigor
