The engineer will participate in design discussions but will primarily lead the build, delivery, and continuous improvement of pipeline automation, Terraform modules, deployment workflows, and environment provisioning.

• Build, automate, and operate the CI/CD pipelines and Terraform-based infrastructure that power CAA's global platforms.
• Translate standards established by Architecture into reliable, repeatable automation, enforce those standards across pipelines and modules, and turn agreed infrastructure patterns into production-ready code.
• Lead the build, delivery, and continuous improvement of pipeline automation, Terraform modules, deployment workflows, and environment provisioning.
• Develop scalable pipelines in GitHub and Azure DevOps and improve release automation across environments.
• Design and maintain modular, version-controlled Terraform code that provisions cloud, network, and Kubernetes resources.
• Ensure infrastructure deployments are consistent, secure, and supportable across every environment.
• Participate in design discussions on infrastructure patterns and their implementation.
• Develop daily health checks and validation routines that continuously verify infrastructure and pipeline health.
• Build regression and resiliency testing into deployment workflows to catch issues before release.
• Implement self-healing workflows that identify and address issues before they impact the business.
• Eliminate manual effort by automating repetitive provisioning, configuration, and operational tasks.
• Partner with engineering, security, architecture, and operations teams to continuously raise the standard for how CAA ships and manages infrastructure.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of hands-on DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering experience, with a strong focus on infrastructure-as-code.
• Strong, hands-on experience with Terraform, including modular, version-controlled designs.
• Deep experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub (Actions) and Azure DevOps.
• Hands-on experience with Git branching strategies and merge/pull request workflows, including branch policies and pipeline gating.
• Fundamental understanding of cloud and network technologies (e.g., Azure or AWS, VNets, DNS, load balancing, and firewalls).
• Working experience with containers and Kubernetes (e.g., Docker and AKS).
• Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., PowerShell, Python, or Bash).
• A forward-thinking, automation-first mindset and the ability to collaborate across teams.

• Relevant certifications such as HashiCorp Terraform Associate or Azure DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400).
• Experience with Kubernetes at scale and GitOps workflows (e.g., Helm, Argo CD, or Flux).
• Interest in media and entertainment technology or workflows.
• Experience implementing DevSecOps practices and policy-as-code (e.g., OPA or Sentinel) and observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).

• Hybrid working model, based in the Nashville office.

• Eligible for a discretionary bonus in addition to base salary.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package for all regular full-time employees.
• Benefits where the company pays 80%-100% of the cost include medical, basic life and AD&D insurance, and telemedicine.
• Employee assistance and mental health counselling available in person, virtually, or through text.
• Paid vacation and holidays, paid sick time, paid parental leave and other paid leaves of absence, and NICU leave.
