• Automate infrastructure provisioning, scaling, and management using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager, or Ansible.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Cloud Build.
• Implement and manage cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes and Docker for containerized applications.
• Monitoring & Optimization:
• Monitor the health and performance of cloud infrastructure using GCP’s monitoring tools (e.g., Stackdriver, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging).
• Continuously optimize resource utilization to ensure cost efficiency while meeting performance requirements.
• Identify bottlenecks and recommend solutions to improve infrastructure performance.
• Security & Compliance:
• Implement and manage security best practices, ensuring secure configurations for cloud infrastructure and resources.
• Set up and manage Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, service accounts, and permissions on GCP to ensure least-privilege access.

• Troubleshooting & Support:
• Provide level-2/level-3 support for infrastructure issues and troubleshoot GCP-related problems effectively.
• Respond to incidents and resolve issues related to cloud infrastructure and services.
• Work closely with development and operations teams to resolve cloud infrastructure bottlenecks and enhance system reliability.
• Collaboration & Documentation:
• Collaborate with other teams (DevOps, developers, security) to ensure a cohesive and effective cloud infrastructure strategy.
• Write and maintain clear, detailed documentation for infrastructure setup, configuration, and operational procedures.
• Help train and mentor junior engineers and contribute to building best practices for cloud operations.

• Solid experience with GCP tools such as Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Kubernetes Engine (GKE), BigQuery, VPC, and IAM.
• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager, or similar tools.
• Experience in configuring and managing CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and applications.
• Experience with Linux/Unix-based systems and scripting languages like Python, Bash, or Go.
• Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker) and container orchestration using Kubernetes.
• Understanding of networking concepts (DNS, VPN, Load Balancers, VPC, Subnets, etc.) within GCP environments.
• Solid understanding of cloud security principles, including encryption, IAM, firewalls, and security monitoring.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect or Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer certification.
• Experience with automation and orchestration tools like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.
• Familiarity with logging and monitoring tools such as Stackdriver, Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack.
