DevOps/Automation Engineer

Responsibilities
Kforce is immediately seeking an experienced DevOps/Automation Engineer in support of our enterprise telecommunications and mass media client based in Charlotte, NC. Summary: The team is redefining how infrastructure is delivered and managed - automating provisioning, standardizing CI/CD pipelines, and driving the shift from traditional on-prem environments toward internal cloud (Bluecloud) and AWS. The ideal candidate is a hands-on automation engineer with deep experience in Infrastructure such as Code, Linux, and cloud platforms, ready to contribute to a high-impact modernization effort. Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain infrastructure automation and provisioning processes
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using a centralized platform (transitioning to Specflow 2)
• Support ongoing migration efforts from on-prem infrastructure to internal cloud (Bluecloud) and AWS environments
• Contribute to the transition toward Redshift and related cloud data platforms (confidential initiative)
• Manage and evolve portions of AWS responsibilities previously owned by other infrastructure teams
• Integrate telemetry solutions into automation frameworks
• Maintain and modernize some legacy VMware provisioning as automation expands
• Collaborate closely with development and infrastructure teams to ensure scalable, reliable, and repeatable deployments

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure Engineering, or related automation-focused roles
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines - ideally GitLab, but Jenkins or similar tools are acceptable
• Solid Linux administration experience
• Experience supporting both on-prem and cloud-based (private or public) environments
• Strong background in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred; CloudFormation acceptable)
• Proficiency in YAML for configuration management and automation scripting

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on experience with Ansible (team standard)
• Previous experience integrating telemetry or monitoring solutions
• Scripting in Python and/or PowerShell
• Familiarity with JSON and XML data formats
• Exposure to VMware provisioning and automation
• Understanding of database environments (Teradata experience a plus)
