Responsibilities:
• Architect, design, implement, and maintain highly scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Drive Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices, leveraging Terraform extensively for resource provisioning and configuration management.
• Lead the development, optimization, and standardization of robust CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Workflows, ensuring efficient, reliable, and secure software releases.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to embed DevOps practices, promote a culture of continuous improvement, and ensure optimal application performance and stability.
• Automate complex operational tasks and processes, reducing manual effort and improving overall system efficiency and reliability.
• Develop and maintain advanced scripts and tools for infrastructure automation, monitoring, and deployment across the GCP ecosystem.
• Implement and enforce stringent security best practices, ensuring compliance and data protection across all infrastructure components and deployment processes, including the use of GCP Secret Manager.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior team members, fostering their growth and development.
• Participate in on-call rotations and provide expert-level support for production systems, ensuring high availability and rapid issue resolution.(if requested)
Requirements:
Must have:
• Expert-level proficiency in Infrastructure as Code tools, specifically Terraform (a mandatory requirement).
• Demonstrable expertise in cloud platforms, with significant hands-on experience and certifications in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Experience with AWS or Azure is a plus.
• Extensive experience with enterprise Security Management solutions, including advanced usage of GCP Secret Manager and other GCP security services (e.g., Cloud IAM, Security Command Center).
• Proven track record in defining, implementing, and optimizing complex CI/CD flows, with deep expertise in GitHub Workflows.
• Strong experience with containerization technologies: Docker (creating optimized images, multi-stage builds) and Kubernetes (cluster administration, deployments, scaling, using Terraform modules for cluster creation/management).
• Proficient in developing and maintaining Helm Charts (templates, hooks, packaging, release management).
• Solid experience in delivering high-quality, maintainable code within enterprise-scale development environments, adhering to best practices and code review processes.
• In-depth working knowledge of environment monitoring tools such as GCP Operations (formerly Stackdriver), New Relic, Prometheus, Grafana, for proactive incident detection and performance optimization.
• Strong expertise in software development processes, models, lifecycles, and methodologies (Agile/Scrum).
• Hands-on experience with service-mesh technologies like Istio or similar products for traffic management, security, and observability.
• Advanced software development and scripting skills in at least one relevant language (e.g., Python, Go, Java, Bash, JavaScript).
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Nice to have:
• Experience with configuration management tools like Ansible or Chef is a plus.
