Job : Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer (Zero-Touch GPU Cloud Stack Linux Image Lifecycle) We are seeking a Senior Infrastructure Automation Engineer with 10+ years of experience to lead the design and implementation of a Zero-Touch Build, Upgrade, and Certification pipeline for our on-prem GPU cloud infrastructure. This role focuses on automating the full stackfrom hardware provisioning through OS and Kubernetes deploymentleveraging 100% GitOps workflows . The candidate will bring deep expertise in Linux systems automation, image management, and compliance hardening, with a strong foundation in infrastructure engineering. Key Responsibilities Architect and implement a fully automated, GitOps-based pipeline for building, upgrading, and certifying the Linux operating system layer in the GPU cloud stack (hardware OS Kubernetes platform). Design and automate Linux image builds using Packer , Kickstart , and Ansible . Integrate CIS/STIG compliance hardening and OpenSCAP scanning directly into the image lifecycle and validation workflows. Own and manage kernel module/driver automation , ensuring version compatibility and hardware enablement for GPU nodes. Collaborate with platform, SRE, and security teams to standardize image build and deployment practices across the stack. Maintain GitOps-compliant infrastructure-as-code repositories, ensuring traceability and reproducibility of all automation logic. Build self-service capabilities and frameworks for zero-touch provisioning, image certification, and drift detection. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to strategic automation roadmap initiatives. Required Skills & Experience 10+ years of hands-on experience in Linux infrastructure engineering, system automation, and OS lifecycle management. Primary key skills required are Ansible, Python, Packer, Kickstart, OpenSCAP Deep expertise with: Packer for automated image builds Kickstart for unattended OS provisioning OpenSCAP for security compliance and policy enforcement Ansible for configuration management and post-build customization Strong understanding of CIS/STIG hardening standards and their application in automated pipelines. Experience with kernel and driver management , particularly in hardware-accelerated (GPU) environments. Proven ability to implement GitOps workflows for infrastructure automation (e.g., Git-backed pipelines for image release and validation). Solid knowledge of Linux internals , bootloaders, and provisioning mechanisms in bare-metal environments. Exposure to Kubernetes , particularly in the context of OS-level customization and compliance. Strong collaboration skills across teams including security, SRE, platform, and hardware engineering. Bonus: Familiarity with image signing, SBOM generation, or secure boot workflows Experience working in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (e.g., FedRAMP, PCI-DSS) Contributions to infrastructure automation frameworks or open-source tools
