Job description

Position Summary

The GCP & GKE Cloud Engineer is a hands-on cloud infrastructure expert responsible for designing, deploying, and managing customer environments on Google Cloud Platform, with a strong emphasis on Kubernetes (GKE) and Infrastructure-as-Code via Terraform. This role requires deep technical fluency across GCP's core services and the ability to architect scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud solutions.

Key ResponsibilitiesGCP Platform Engineering

• Design, deploy, and manage infrastructure across core GCP services (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, VPC networking, IAM, Cloud SQL/Spanner, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, etc.).
• Architect solutions that follow GCP best practices for security, scalability, high availability, and cost optimization.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize cloud infrastructure performance and reliability.
• Implement and maintain IAM policies, service accounts, and network security controls in line with least-privilege principles.

Kubernetes & GKE

• Deploy, configure, and manage Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters, including node pools, autoscaling, networking (VPC-native clusters, Ingress, Gateway API), and workload identity.
• Manage containerized application deployments, Helm charts, and GitOps-based release workflows.
• Troubleshoot cluster and workload issues (pod failures, resource constraints, networking, RBAC).
• Implement Kubernetes security best practices (namespaces, network policies, pod security standards).

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)

• Build and maintain Terraform modules to provision and manage GCP infrastructure and GKE clusters in a repeatable, version-controlled manner.
• Manage Terraform state, workspaces, and CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure deployment.
• Review and enforce IaC standards across the team to ensure consistency and maintainability.
• Troubleshoot and resolve Terraform drift, plan/apply issues, and module dependency conflicts.

Cross-Functional & Delivery

• Collaborate with DevOps, Solutions Consulting, and Software Engineering teams to align infrastructure design with application requirements.
• Support customer engagements by providing architecture recommendations and technical guidance on GCP/GKE adoption.
• Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis for cloud infrastructure issues.
• Document architectures, runbooks, and operational procedures for supported environments.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3–6 years of experience working with Google Cloud Platform in a production environment.
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
• Terraform experience is mandatory — proven ability to write, maintain, and troubleshoot Terraform modules for GCP infrastructure.
• Solid understanding of networking concepts (VPCs, subnets, firewall rules, load balancing) within GCP.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps practices for infrastructure and application delivery.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across cloud and container environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• GCP certification(s): Professional Cloud Architect, Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, or Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
• Experience with service mesh technologies (Istio, Anthos Service Mesh).
• Scripting/automation experience (Python, Bash, Go).
• Familiarity with monitoring/observability stacks (Cloud Monitoring, Prometheus, Grafana).
• Experience in a multi-tenant or MSP environment supporting multiple customer accounts.

Key Competencies

• Deep technical expertise combined with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach.
• Strong ownership mentality across infrastructure lifecycle — design, deployment, and operations.
• Ability to work independently on complex technical problems while communicating clearly with cross-functional teams.
• Commitment to infrastructure-as-code discipline and repeatable, auditable deployments.
