About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Engineer to build and automate modern enterprise infrastructure platforms.

This is an engineering-first role focused on automation, platform build, and scalable system delivery. You will work within an established architecture to deliver infrastructure through code—not operate it through tickets.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and deploy infrastructure platforms:

    • VMware and/or Nutanix

    • Windows and Linux environments

  • Develop and implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions

  • Automate manual processes through scripting and pipelines

  • Contribute to infrastructure lifecycle activities:

    • Deployment, upgrades, scaling, and optimization

  • Support and build Kubernetes / container environments

  • Troubleshoot production issues and contribute to resolution

  • Create and maintain engineering documentation:

    • Runbooks, LLDs, and handoff materials

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of hands-on infrastructure or systems engineering

  • Fluent in both written and spoken English language

  • Experience building and deploying production infrastructure environments

Technical Requirements

Strong hands-on experience with:

  • Terraform and/or Ansible (you have personally built infrastructure using these tools)

  • PowerShell, Python, or Bash

  • VMware and/or Nutanix

  • Windows and/or Linux

Exposure to:

  • Kubernetes or container platforms

Must-Have Capabilities

You must be able to clearly demonstrate:

  • You have personally built and deployed infrastructure (not just supported it)

  • You have automated repetitive work using code or pipelines

  • You have worked in code-driven environments (Git, CI/CD)

  • You can clearly explain what you built vs. what your team owned

What This Role Is NOT

  • Not a ticket-based or operations role

  • Not focused on routine system administration

  • Not a senior-level architecture or platform ownership role

Nice to Have

  • Experience building or supporting Kubernetes environments

  • Exposure to storage, backup, or disaster recovery

  • Experience creating reusable automation or IaC components

How You’ll Be Successful / Bottom Line

You think like an engineer, not an operator—solving infrastructure challenges through code, automating manual work, and building scalable, repeatable systems. You take ownership of what you deliver and can clearly demonstrate what you’ve built and automated in production. This role is for engineers who build infrastructure through code, automate everything possible, and deliver reliable systems at scale.

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene

To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
