About the Role
Through our partnership with Accenture, their Global Cloud Services Capacity Engineering organization is seeking a Senior Infrastructure Operations Engineer to support critical datacenter operations and real-time infrastructure execution.

This is a hands-on, senior-level role for engineers who thrive close to the hardware and enjoy solving operational challenges at scale, including:
  • Linux and network incident response
  • Rack deployment and infrastructure provisioning
  • Automation-first datacenter operations
This is not a monitoring-only or ticket-routing position. It is built for engineers who operate with speed, confidence, and independence in production environments.

What Makes This Role Unique
We are specifically looking for engineers with:
  • Strong datacenter instincts and troubleshooting depth
  • High initiative and senior-level ownership
  • Comfort working independently in fast-moving environments
  • A mindset of automation-first execution
  • Enthusiasm for AI-assisted productivity tools to accelerate operational work
Key Responsibilities
  • Deploy and validate server racks in ServiceNow datacenters using existing automation workflows
  • Respond to Linux server and network infrastructure incidents with urgency and precision
  • Execute daily infrastructure operations, including dashboards and reporting
  • Improve runbooks, SOPs, troubleshooting documentation, and operational playbooks
  • Execute orchestration workflows (e.g., Flow Designer calling Ansible, Python automation)
  • Leverage AI tools to improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency in operations work
Growth Path Opportunities
High performers will have the opportunity to expand into:
  • DevOps build and test pipeline automation
  • Infrastructure-as-code improvements
  • Development of scripts, modules, and automation routines (Python, Bash, Ansible)
  • Contributions to holistic automated test frameworks supporting product engineering
Longer-Term Potential
This role offers exposure to large-scale cloud infrastructure evolution, including:
  • Hyperscaler automation development (AWS / Azure / GCP)
  • Internal cloud and infrastructure product engineering
  • Enhancements to enterprise automation frameworks
Required Qualifications
  • 3–5+ years of experience in infrastructure operations, datacenter engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles
  • Strong Linux administration fundamentals
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Networking basics (routing, switching, VLANs, DNS, firewalls, load balancing)
    • Automation/scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell)
    • Tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent
  • Experience supporting on-prem hardware environments (rack/stack, lifecycle troubleshooting)
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot quickly under pressure
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills
Soft Skills (Critical for Success)
  • Highly self-directed; able to operate without micromanagement
  • Execution speed aligned with senior-level expectations
  • Positive, solutions-oriented attitude
  • Strong interest in leveraging AI tools to improve operational efficiency
  • Dependable team contributor who takes ownership
Nice to Have
  • Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP environments
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, build systems, or test automation
  • Knowledge of distributed systems or hyperscale datacenter operations
  • Familiarity with ServiceNow Flow Designer, CMDB, or incident workflows
