About the Role

We are looking for a Senior GCP Platform Engineer to design, automate, and secure our expanding Google Cloud infrastructure. You will be the driving force behind our cloud operations, bridging the gap between core infrastructure, hybrid networking, and cutting-edge GenAI deployments. You will not just be keeping the lights on; you will be architecting automated pipelines, securing our GitHub organization, and empowering our teams to leverage Gemini Enterprise apps at scale.

What You Will Do

• Infrastructure & Automation: Provision, and manage GCP environments using Terraform based IAC code.


• GenAI Platform Operations: Manage and extract insights from our fleet of Vertex AI Agent Builder and Discovery Engine assets, building the infrastructure that supports our internal AI agents.


• Data & Observability: Maintain secure data pipelines and external tables in BigQuery and Cloud Storage to feed internal dashboards via Looker Studio and integration with Grafana Cloud.


• Secure CI/CD: Architect and secure our GitHub SaaS platform. Implement self-hosted ephemeral runners (ARC), mandate OIDC for cloud authentication, and enforce strict branch protections and secret scanning.


• Identity & Security: Implement least-privilege IAM policies, manage Service Account impersonation, and troubleshoot complex cross-service permission boundaries.

What We Are Looking For

• Deep GCP Expertise: Extensive experience managing enterprise Google Cloud environments, specifically around complex IAM roles, VPC networking, and Private Service Access.


• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Fluent in Terraform and highly proficient in writing robust, defensive Bash and Python scripts for automation and API interaction.


• CI/CD & GitHub Mastery: Proven experience administering GitHub Organizations, building GitHub Actions workflows, and securing CI/CD supply chains.


• API & Data Proficiency: Comfortable interacting with beta/alpha REST APIs (like Dialogflow CX or Discovery Engine) using curl and jq, alongside solid working knowledge of BigQuery and GCS.


• Hybrid Networking Knowledge: Familiarity with BGP, IPsec, and hybrid cloud connectivity models (AWS Virtual Private Gateways, Direct Connect) is a strong plus.


• AWS Familiarity: Good to have understanding of AWS.
