Lead DevOps Engineer- Late Shift(2 PM – 10PM)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential enterprise software organization seeking a Lead DevOps Engineer for a late shift position (2 PM - 10 PM). This is a fully remote role focused on solving infrastructure challenges through software engineering and automation.

This is a highly technical, coding-focused position. You will design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks that streamline cloud infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and operational processes. The ideal candidate is a software-minded engineer who writes clean, maintainable, and testable code every day—not just ad hoc scripts.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop scalable automation frameworks in Python that enable consistent and repeatable deployments across cloud and on-premises environments
• Build and enhance Terraform code-generation platforms using Python and Jinja2, enabling teams to produce validated, environment-specific infrastructure code from reusable templates
• Develop and maintain Puppet modules, manifests, and Hiera configurations that manage Linux and Windows environments at scale
• Create robust PowerShell automation solutions for server management, Active Directory administration, and hybrid cloud integrations
• Develop internal automation tools, command-line utilities, and APIs that empower engineering teams to self-service common operational tasks
• Integrate automation frameworks with CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated validation, testing, and deployment of infrastructure changes
• Implement comprehensive testing strategies for infrastructure code, including unit testing, linting, and integration testing
• Partner with cloud, platform, and application teams to identify manual processes and drive automation-first solutions
• Create clear documentation, standards, and runbooks for automation frameworks and infrastructure templates
• Participate in code reviews and continuously improve the quality, security, and maintainability of automation solutions

What We're Looking For

Python & Automation Development

• 5+ years of Python development experience building structured, testable application code
• Strong understanding of Python packaging, virtual environments, dependency management (pip, Poetry), and code quality tooling (pylint, black, mypy)
• Experience building CLI tools and automation frameworks using Python (Click, Typer, or similar)
• Hands-on experience with Jinja2 templating for building reusable, parameterised templates for configuration and infrastructure code generation
• Experience with pytest for unit and integration testing of automation code

Terraform & Infrastructure as Code

• Strong Terraform proficiency: module design, state management, remote backends, workspaces, and dependency graphs
• Proven experience generating Terraform HCL programmatically using Python and Jinja2
• Familiarity with Terraform tooling: tflint, tfsec, terraform-docs, Terragrunt, or Atlantis
• Understanding of Terraform provider internals and resource lifecycle management

Puppet & Configuration Management

• Hands-on Puppet experience: writing manifests and modules, Hiera data hierarchies, node classification, and r10k/Code Manager workflows
• Experience managing mixed Linux and Windows environments with Puppet at scale
• Familiarity with puppet-lint, rspec-puppet, and automated Puppet module testing pipelines
• Understanding of Puppet Enterprise or open-source Puppet Server administration

PowerShell Scripting

• Proficient PowerShell scripting for Windows Server administration, task automation, and hybrid cloud integrations
• Experience writing reusable PowerShell modules, functions, and error-handling patterns
• Familiarity with Pester for PowerShell unit testing
• Experience automating Active Directory, Group Policy, or Windows networking tasks via PowerShell

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Solid AWS experience: EC2, EKS/ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, and CloudWatch
• Familiarity with CI/CD platforms and integrating infrastructure code pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
• Comfortable working with Linux and Windows Server in production environments
