This role is platform engineering, not playbook-only automation.

• Deploy and operate AAP on VMs and/or OpenShift/Kubernetes.
• Integrate AAP with AWS, CI/CD pipelines, identity providers, and source control.
• Enable automation for day-2 operations: patching, remediation, configuration, compliance, and recovery.
• Partner with platform, cloud, and DevOps teams during AWS migration and hybrid operations.
• Establish standards, governance, and best practices for enterprise automation.

• Hands-on experience installing, operating, or upgrading Ansible Automation Platform (Tower/AWX/AAP).
• Experience running platforms in high-availability environments.
• Strong Linux systems background.
• Experience with Kubernetes and/or OpenShift.
• Familiarity with AWS and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred).
• Comfort operating automation as a service used by many teams.

• AAP deployed on OpenShift.
• Event-driven automation (EDA).
• Red Hat certifications.
• Experience in regulated or large enterprise environments.
