Ansible and Terraform (IAC) Engineer (W2 only)

Themesoft Inc.
Columbus, OH Contractor
POSTED ON 5/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/28/2026

Role: Ansible and Terraform Engineer

Location: Columbus, OH - 100% onsite


Role Summary

Looking for an automation-focused engineer to provision and configure OS hosts using Terraform (IaC) and Ansible (configuration management).

The role supports Windows Server 2019 → 2022 refresh initiatives primarily by enabling repeatable, script-driven builds, enforcing baseline standards, and supporting migration waves from an infrastructure readiness standpoint.


Primary Responsibilities (Automation & Provisioning – Core Focus)

• Build and maintain Terraform code to provision server infrastructure (modules, variables, state practices as applicable in the program).

• Develop and maintain Ansible roles/playbooks to configure Windows servers post-provisioning (baseline config, prerequisite packages, repeatable setup).

• Standardize “push-button” provisioning so Windows Server 2022 builds are consistent, compliant, and reproducible across environments.

• Troubleshoot and remediate provisioning failures in Terraform/Ansible pipelines, including drift and idempotency issues.

• Partner with platform/security teams to embed enterprise baseline requirements (hardening, logging prerequisites, standard configuration) into automation where applicable.

• Maintain version control, documentation, and runbooks for provisioning automation (how-to run, inputs/outputs, common failure patterns).

• Support automation integration into CI/CD style workflows where used (e.g., orchestration pipelines), aligning to automated provisioning approaches.


Good to have :-


(Windows Migration Support)

• Support Windows Server 2019 → 2022 refresh execution by ensuring OS-level readiness of newly provisioned servers.

• Assist with migration wave execution activities (e.g., readiness checks, cutover support, post-cutover stabilization)

• Coordinate with app teams for infra-level troubleshooting during wave windows (access, connectivity, server readiness issues).


Required Skills & Experience

• Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning.

• Hands-on experience with Ansible for configuration management/automation.

• Ability to debug automation issues end-to-end (inputs, dependencies, execution logs, repeatability).

• Working knowledge of Windows Server administration fundamentals (enough to configure/troubleshoot Windows 2022 hosts in an automated build model).

• Strong documentation and operational rigor (runbooks, repeatable procedures, controlled changes).
