The role requires deep expertise in GCP, Kubernetes, and IaC, with a focus on automation using Python/Bash/Go and strong troubleshooting skills.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in cloud, platform, or infrastructure engineering.
• Deep hands-on expertise in GCP and Kubernetes, including production experience with GKE.
• Strong experience with infrastructure as code (IaC), using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane, or equivalent.
• Experience with GitOps (Argo CD/Flux) and GitHub Actions/Workflows.
• Familiarity with policy-as-code tools such as OPA/Gatekeeper or Kyverno.
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or Go for automation and tooling.
• Strong understanding of cloud networking, gateways, Linux, and distributed systems.
• Proven troubleshooting skills and the ability to independently own and deliver complex technical initiatives.
• Experience building reusable infrastructure modules, platform blueprints, or developer self-service capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Design and operate reliable cloud-native platforms on GCP, with GKE at their core.
• Build reusable platform blueprints, infrastructure modules, and abstractions to enable standardized, self-service infrastructure provisioning.
• Manage Kubernetes cluster lifecycle, upgrades, scaling, performance, and resource utilization.
• Apply infrastructure-as-code and platform engineering practices to improve reliability, security, and cost efficiency.
• Build and maintain GitHub Actions/Workflows and GitOps deployment pipelines using Argo CD or Flux.
• Implement policy-driven deployments and automated guardrails using OPA/Gatekeeper and Kyverno.
• Develop automation and internal tooling using Python, Bash, or Go to eliminate manual operations and improve developer experience.
• Design and troubleshoot Kubernetes networking, ingress, service discovery, and traffic management.
• Work with gateways and service mesh technologies such as Istio, NGINX, and HAProxy.
• Diagnose complex production issues across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and deployment workflows.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to simplify application onboarding and improve platform adoption.
• Drive initiatives end to end, from design and implementation to production readiness and operational support.
• Apply security best practices across IAM, workload identity, network policies, and platform governance.
• Identify cost optimization opportunities through capacity planning, autoscaling, workload rightsizing, and resource utilization improvements.
