• Northbound Integration: Lead the integration of hardware management platforms with the Bank’s Ansible and Terraform playbooks to enable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provisioning.
• Observability & Telemetry: Engineer the export of hardware health and performance metrics into OpenTelemetry (OTEL) and Prometheus to ensure unified monitoring across the heterogeneous fleet.
• ITSM & DDI Automation: Automate the end-to-end lifecycle from IP allocation (DDI/IPAM) to ServiceNow ticket generation for automated hardware break-fix and warranty tracking.
• Firmware & Security Compliance: Define and programmatically enforce ‘Golden Baselines’ for BIOS, RAID, and NIC settings, ensuring all assets meet the Bank’s security control frameworks before being promoted to production.
• Audit & Evidence Engineering: Maintain immutable, automated audit trails for every hardware configuration change, replacing manual asset records with real-time ‘state of the world’ reporting.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Multi-Vendor Hardware Deep-Dive: Expert-level knowledge of Dell PowerEdge (iDRAC), HPE ProLiant (iLO), and Lenovo ThinkSystem (XCC) hardware architectures.
• Protocol Mastery: Proficiency in hardware-level communication protocols, specifically Redfish API, IPMI, and SNMP for out-of-band management.
• Infrastructure as Code: Significant experience with Ansible (Roles/Collections) or Terraform for automating physical infrastructure deployments.
• DDI & Network Services: Working knowledge of DHCP, DNS, and IPAM (DDI) services and how they interact with PXE/iPXE boot sequences.
• Scripting & Development: Strong Python or Bash skills for building custom integration wrappers and data transformation tools.
