Lead Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Developer - Redis

About this role:
Wells Fargo is seeking a seasoned Lead Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Developer to join our Engineering team and help build the automation foundations that provision, manage, and scale our Redis Enterprise platform. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who understands the operational complexity of running distributed, high-performance data platforms and is passionate about enabling frictionless self-service through automation.
You will lead by example-designing and implementing scalable IaC modules and GitOps workflows that abstract the complexity of provisioning Redis Enterprise clusters, configuring Active-Active databases, managing shards and replicas, enforcing ACLs and security policies, and deploying Redis modules. This role blends strategic platform architecture, automation engineering, and high-quality code delivery.
In this role, you will:

• Lead large-scale initiatives to automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle operations for Redis Enterprise clusters and databases
• Architect and develop reusable IaC components (Terraform, Ansible) for Redis Enterprise cluster creation, node scaling, database provisioning, failover configuration, and policy enforcement
• Develop robust APIs using Java SpringBoot to expose Redis Enterprise provisioning, configuration, capacity management, and governance workflows
• Design and implement GitOps-driven workflows to automate cluster and database changes-such as database sizing, sharding policies, persistence modes (AOF/RDB), and multi-zone topologies
• Build and maintain self-service platform capabilities enabling developers to provision Redis Enterprise databases, request resources, apply configurations, and consume metrics via intuitive APIs or service catalogs
• Define and enforce Redis Enterprise platform standards, including memory management policies, eviction strategies, HA/DR patterns, Active-Active topology guidelines, and enterprise security standards
• Collaborate across engineering, security, and product teams to align Redis Enterprise automation with organizational priorities and best practices
• Participate in architecture and code reviews while mentoring engineers on Redis Enterprise operations, IaC patterns, and automation best practices
• Continuously improve platform reliability, performance, scalability, and operational efficiency through automation and infrastructure modernization

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of Technology Infrastructure Engineering and Solutions experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
• 5+ years of full-stack software development experience using Java
• 3+ years of experience deploying and operating Redis Enterprise (cloud, hybrid, or on-prem)
• 3+ years of experience with data modeling and SQL
• 3+ years of experience with IaC tools such as Terraform and Ansible
• 3+ years of experience implementing GitOps or similar tools
• 2+ years of experience with Kubernetes/OCP, containerization, and hybrid cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• 2+ years of experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating automation into platform services

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience working with Redis Enterprise Active-Active (CRDT) databases, geo-replication, and multi-region architectures
• Deep understanding of Redis Enterprise internals including clustering, shards, proxies, failover, persistence, and eviction strategies
• Experience implementing Redis Enterprise modules (e.g., RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisBloom, RedisGraph)
• Familiarity with designing event-driven and caching architectures using Redis Enterprise
• Experience with high-availability and DR patterns in Redis Enterprise (multi-AZ, multi-region, Active-Active)
• Hands-on experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) and Redis Enterprise monitoring APIs
