At TCS Hungary, opportunity meets stability in a vibrant and dynamic work environment. We are looking for a Senior Linux Automation Engineer to write analysis and reporting scripts against Linux systems, automate routines through Ansible, and work directly with platform and security stakeholders.
Tasks
- Write analysis and reporting scripts against Linux systems (Bash/POSIX shell, awk, sed, grep, standard coreutils) to extract and evaluate system and configuration state
- Automate and scale these routines through Ansible (roles, playbooks, inventories, variable design, idempotent tasks)
- Substantially rework and consolidate an existing Ansible configuration --- refactoring, not just extending
- Work directly with platform, operations and security stakeholders: clarify requirements, present findings, defend design decisions
- Document and hand over the resulting automation so it can be operated by the platform teams
