• Define and implement high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) strategies
• Create reusable architecture diagrams, standards, and documentation
• Design and implement GCP networking solutions, including hybrid and cross‑cloud architectures
• Configure secure connectivity across environments: interconnect / VPN, multi‑region networking, cross‑cloud integrations (AWS, Azure)
• Ensure network segmentation, isolation, and compliance with VPC‑SC and firewall policies
• Build and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform or similar tools
• Implement standardized platform services and reusable modules
• Enable self‑service infrastructure provisioning
• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build / GitHub Actions

• Ensure proper artifact lifecycle management and governance
• Implement IAM policies, service accounts, and least‑privilege access
• Enforce organization‑level policies and compliance controls
• Manage secrets using Secret Manager secure access rotation policies
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and logging frameworks
• Define SLOs, SLAs, and reliability metrics
• Enable log‑based insights and dashboards
• Support data platform use cases using BigQuery, Composer, and event‑driven systems
• Collaborate with data teams to optimize pipeline performance and architecture

Job Requirements

• Mandatory Technical Skills: VPC, Shared VPC, VPC Service Controls (VPC‑SC), Cloud NAT, Firewall rules, Cloud DNS, Interconnect (Dedicated/Partner)
• Identity & Access Management: IAM policy bindings, organization‑level governance policies, IAM policy bindings, Cloud Storage IAM lifecycle management and CMEK encryption
• Cloud Composer (Airflow): XComs, triggers, connections
• BigQuery: query optimization, access control, log‑based metrics
• Cloud Build / GitHub Actions, Artifact Registry / Container Registry, image lifecycle management & vulnerability scanning
