Infrastructure Automation Lead
6-month contract | Central London | 3 days onsite | Inside IR35
Synapri are looking for an experienced Infrastructure Automation Lead to drive a strategic infrastructure modernisation and automation programme across EMEA for one of their key customers.
This newly created role will transform a largely manual infrastructure environment into a scalable, automated Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) platform. You’ll be a hands-on technical leader, working from a greenfield starting point to define the automation strategy, establish standards and deliver solutions with minimal supervision.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design and implementation of IaC solutions using Terraform and Ansible.
- Build automation for infrastructure provisioning, configuration, patching, compliance, and lifecycle management.
- Develop self-service infrastructure provisioning and automated deployment workflows.
- Define automation standards, governance, and best practices.
- Integrate infrastructure automation into DevOps and CI/CD environments.
- Support infrastructure modernisation across Kubernetes, OpenShift, and hybrid cloud platforms.
- Ensure solutions are designed with future cloud adoption in mind.
- Work with Infrastructure, Operations, and Engineering teams across EMEA, Dublin, London, and the US.
- Provide technical leadership and help establish a future infrastructure automation team.
