Descrição da oferta de emprego

• Infrastructure architecture and deployment:
• Design and implementation: Architect, design, and deploy complex, large-scale IaaS solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), such as virtual machines (Compute Engine), storage (Cloud Storage, File store), and networking components (VPC, load balancers).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Use tools like Terraform or Cloud Deployment Manager to automate the provisioning, management, and scaling of cloud resources.
• Migration strategy: Lead the planning and execution of complex migrations from on-premise data centers to GCP, including multi-tiered application and database workloads.
• Advanced operations and troubleshooting:
• Tier 3 support: Act as the highest level of escalation for system-level issues, performing deep root cause analysis (RCA) on incidents that cannot be resolved by lower-level support teams.
• Proactive monitoring and optimization: Implement advanced monitoring and logging solutions using tools like Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging. Proactively identify and resolve system-level problems to prevent outages.
• Capacity and performance management: Manage capacity planning, performance tuning, and resource utilization to ensure the infrastructure can handle seasonal and long-term business needs.
• Security and governance:
• Policy enforcement: Define and enforce organizational policies, Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, and security best practices across the GCP environment.
• Compliance and auditing: Ensure that the infrastructure meets organizational, industry, and regulatory compliance standards by conducting regular audits and implementing automated compliance controls.
• Data protection: Implement and manage data encryption, backup, and disaster recovery (DR) plans to protect against data loss and system failure.
• Automation and project leadership:
• Drive automation: Increase the level of automation for recurring and trivial tasks to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
• CI/CD pipelines: Collaborate with DevOps teams to design and implement CI/CD pipelines that automate deployment and configuration processes.
• Strategic guidance: Provide technical leadership on high-impact projects and guide other teams on cloud best practices, strategy, and architecture.
• Collaboration and mentorship:
• Inter-team collaboration: Work closely with cloud architects, DevOps teams, and security teams to align on standards, requirements, and solutions.
• Mentorship and coaching: Mentor and train junior-level engineers, helping them to develop their technical skills and understand complex cloud technologies.
• Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for architectures, operational procedures, and standards to ensure knowledge is shared and retained.

Qualifications

• GCP Admin Skills:
• Compute Engine: Expert-level proficiency in managing virtual machines (VMs), instance groups, and instance templates. This includes optimizing VM performance and cost management.
• Networking: In-depth understanding of Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking, subnetting, peering, load balancing, Cloud CDN, Cloud Interconnect, and Cloud VPN.
• Storage: Extensive knowledge of various storage options like Cloud Storage (including object lifecycle management), Persistent Disks, and File store.
• Containers and orchestration: Expert-level knowledge of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Docker, and container security best practices. This includes experience with advanced deployment strategies.
• Databases: Hands-on experience with managing Google Cloud's managed database services like Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, and Firestore.
• Observability: Advanced skills in using the Cloud Operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) for monitoring, logging, and tracing. This includes configuring complex alerts and dashboards.
• Automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
• IaC tools: Expert proficiency with Terraform or Google Cloud Deployment Manager to provision, update, and manage cloud infrastructure.
• Scripting: Strong scripting skills in languages like Python or Bash for automating routine tasks, deployments, and managing infrastructure.
• CI/CD: Experience in designing and managing Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using tools such as Cloud Build, Jenkins or GitLab CI.
