Key Responsibilities
  • Design, operate, and improve infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform, including Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, Redis, and VPC networking.
  • Identify and implement cloud cost savings through resource rightsizing, autoscaling, committed use discounts, storage lifecycle policies, and removal of unused resources while maintaining service reliability and performance.
  • Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible, with a focus on repeatability, maintainability, and safe changes.
  • Develop and maintain CI/CD and GitOps workflows using GitLab and Argo CD.
  • Operate Kubernetes clusters and support application deployments, troubleshooting, capacity planning, and upgrades.

  • Manage CDN and DNS configurations using Akamai and EdgeNext.
  • Develop and validate backup, recovery, and disaster recovery procedures.
  • Reduce operational toil through automation, clear runbooks, and improvements to platform tooling.

  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and GitOps deployment workflows.
  • Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills, particularly with Red Hat–based distributions.
  • Solid understanding of networking, including TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, TLS, load balancing, and cloud networking.
  • Experience with monitoring, logging, alerting, and production incident response.
  • Practical experience operating messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
  • Experience with secrets management and secure infrastructure access.
  • Ability to write automation scripts and tools in Bash and at least one programming language, such as Python or Go.
  • Ability to investigate complex failures across infrastructure and application boundaries.
  • Strong communication skills, a sense of ownership, and the ability to mentor engineers and collaborate across teams.
