You’ll design and evolve GCP architecture for 10–100x growth, own GKE, Terraform, Helm, and deployment workflows.

• Build reliable CI/CD paths with safe rollouts, automated checks, fast rollback and useful deployment visibility.
• Create self-service, isolated and short-lived environments for development, previews, integration tests and AI-agent work.
• Make realistic end-to-end testing possible for external systems such as voice calls, WhatsApp, webhooks, calendars and CRMs.
• Build test infrastructure for provider failures, timeouts, retries, idempotency, rate limits, asynchronous events and partial success.
• Establish observability, service-level indicators, alerts and incident practices that help engineers find causes.
• Improve security, tenant isolation, disaster recovery, cost controls and operational readiness as Wilco grows.
• Partner with product and application engineers to create reusable platform primitives and remove repeated infrastructure work.
• Use AI tools for infrastructure exploration, automation, code review, test generation, documentation and incident analysis, with strong human verification.
