# Ansible — Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer, 'Ansible competence' isn’t about *knowing* Ansible exists; it's about rapidly automating infrastructure tasks that would otherwise eat into development time. Think provisioning dev/test environments (spinning up VMs, configuring networks), deploying application code across servers, and managing configuration files consistently. You'll likely be writing 'playbooks' – YAML files defining these automated workflows – and using Ansible’s modules to interact with cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) or on-premise systems. It moves you from manually clicking through web consoles to version-controlled, repeatable processes.
