Job description

Cloud and Infrastructure Automation Engineer – Cape Town.

PBT Group has an exciting opportunity for a Cloud and Infrastructure Automation Engineer. This role will be responsible for managing and optimising server and storage infrastructure across both on-premise and AWS environments, with a strong focus on automation and reliability.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, proactive, and passionate about using automation to streamline infrastructure management — not just maintain it. You’ll play a key role in ensuring performance, scalability, and stability across our systems, while collaborating closely with cross-functional engineering and DevOps teams.

What You’ll Do :

  • Manage and maintain server and storage infrastructure across on-prem and cloud (AWS) environments.
  • Design, implement, and optimise infrastructure automation using Ansible and Terraform.
  • Build and manage EC2 instances and related AWS resources.
  • Enhance system efficiency, performance, and reliability through continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate infrastructure-as-code principles.
  • Support CI / CD pipelines and maintain Git-based workflows for configuration management.
  • Monitor system performance and proactively identify potential issues or improvements.
  • Ensure compliance with security and operational standards.
  • Provide technical guidance, documentation, and mentorship where required.

What We’re Looking For :

  • 3–5+ years’ experience in cloud and infrastructure engineering or related roles.
  • Proven experience with AWS (EC2, IAM, networking, storage, etc.).
  • Strong proficiency in Linux administration.
  • Advanced experience in Ansible and Terraform for automation and configuration management.
  • Working knowledge of DevOps tools such as Git, Jenkins, or GitLab CI / CD.
  • Familiarity with monitoring tools and performance optimisation.
  • Experience managing hybrid environments (on-prem + cloud).
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Desirable / Advantageous :

  • Certifications in AWS, Linux, or Terraform / Ansible.
  • Exposure to containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) or Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices.
  • Experience within a high-availability or large-scale enterprise environment.
  • Personal Attributes :

  • Ownership-driven, proactive, and solution-oriented.
  • Strong attention to detail with a focus on automation and efficiency.
  • Adaptable in dynamic environments with shifting priorities.
  • Passionate about continuous learning and staying updated with emerging technologies.
