Job Description
We are seeking an Infrastructure Migration & Automation Enablement Engineer to support a large-scale data center modernization initiative. This role focuses on helping application teams migrate their infrastructure from a legacy data center into a new Nutanix-based environment. The engineer will guide teams in adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using Terraform and GitLab, enabling consistent, automated, and compliant infrastructure delivery.
The ideal candidate bridges the gap between application owners, enterprise architects, and automation engineers — ensuring complex infrastructure migrations are executed efficiently, effectively, and in alignment with enterprise standards.
Key Responsibilities
• Partner with application teams to plan and guide migrations into a new Nutanix-based data center environment.
• Act as the primary liaison between app teams, automation engineers, and enterprise architecture to ensure consistent use of IaC automation.
• Help app teams consume and configure pre-built Terraform modules through GitLab pipelines, aligning deployments with enterprise-approved patterns.
• Maintain a catalog of published IaC modules and automation components, documenting their capabilities and advising on proper usage.
• Identify opportunities for new automation, request their development, and track their availability for broader adoption.
• Translate enterprise architectural diagrams into actionable IaC strategies for application teams, ensuring alignment across infrastructure layers.
• Develop and maintain “quick-start” GitLab pipelines that demonstrate proven infrastructure patterns for common deployment needs.
• Coordinate activities across multiple enterprise teams — including network, storage, security, compliance, operations, and architecture — to remove technical barriers during migration.
• Support 10–20 application teams concurrently, balancing day-to-day enablement, project tracking, and stakeholder communication.
• Create enablement guides and documentation to promote self-service adoption and consistent onboarding across roughly 200 applications.
• Communicate effectively with both technical engineers and executive stakeholders, translating between business needs and technical implementation.
This is a fully remote contract slated through the end of year offering an hourly rate of 60-69/hr depending on experience.

Required Skills & Experience
• Strong understanding of enterprise infrastructure components (compute, networking, storage, identity, and virtualization).
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code principles and experience using Terraform and GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with Nutanix or similar hypervisor and virtualization platforms.
• Ability to interpret complex architecture designs and assist teams in converting them into automation-ready implementations.
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and cross-team collaboration.
• Familiarity with infrastructure resiliency concepts — load balancing, high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and multi-cluster operation.
• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux (RHEL) environments.
