COMPANY OVERVIEW

We exist to make food the world loves. But we do more than that. Our company is a place that prioritizes being a force for good, a place to expand learning, explore new perspectives and reimagine new possibilities, every day. We look for people who want to bring their best — bold thinkers with big hearts who challenge one another and grow together. Because becoming the undisputed leader in food means surrounding ourselves with people who are hungry for what’s next.

OVERVIEW

• Lead the engineering, operation, and continuous improvement of infrastructure supporting third-party Enterprise Applications (E-Apps), with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as the primary cloud environment.
• Own hands-on infrastructure engineering across cloud and hybrid environments, including secure design, provisioning, migration, deployment, capacity, reliability, and lifecycle management.
• Drive Infrastructure as Code and automation using Terraform as the primary tool, supported by Ansible, Python, and Shell scripting; use PowerShell where required for Windows administration.
• Partner with solution teams, Enterprise Applications stakeholders, security, network, and service teams to define hosting standards, technical specifications, operational readiness, and support models.
• Provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, and promote standardization, observability, ITSM discipline, and secure-by-design practices across the E-Apps platform.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Operate and continuously improve the E-Apps infrastructure estate, including availability, performance, capacity, resilience, disaster recovery, patching, upgrades, and platform lifecycle management.
• Design and provision GCP infrastructure using approved architecture and security patterns across compute, networking, IAM, load balancing, DNS, certificates, logging, monitoring, storage, and secrets management.
• Build reusable Terraform modules and deployment patterns and develop Ansible playbooks, Python utilities, and Shell scripts to eliminate manual work and improve deployment consistency.
• Administer and troubleshoot web and application platforms including IIS, JBoss, and Apache, with understanding of Java application hosting, reverse proxy configuration, SSL/TLS offload, certificates, ports, and application integrations.
• Implement observability and operational insight using Datadog and GCP monitoring/logging capabilities, including dashboards, metrics, logs, traces, alerting, health checks, service-level indicators, and actionable runbooks.
• Apply ITSM practices across incident, problem, change, service request, knowledge, and major-incident management; maintain accurate operational documentation and participate in governance and change reviews.
• Act as a senior escalation point for outages, complex incidents, root-cause analysis, vendor coordination, security findings, and recovery activities; drive permanent corrective actions.
• Establish standards and governance for configuration, access, automation, monitoring, vulnerability remediation, backup, recovery, and operational readiness of new and existing applications.
• Mentor team members and coordinate support coverage while promoting knowledge sharing, effective handoffs, and continuous improvement across the platform team.
