Qualification

Is Education overrated? Yes. We believe so. However there is no way to locate you otherwise. So unfortunately we might have to look for a Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering from a reputed institute or you should be programming from 12. And the latter is better. We will find you faster if you specify the latter in some manner. Not just a degree, but we are not too thrilled by tech certifications too ... :)

To reiterate: Passion to tech-awesome, insatiable desire to learn the latest of the new-age cloud tech, highly analytical aptitude and a strong desire to deliver.

• Proven experience of 5+ years as a Cloud Engineer.
• Proficiency in GCP services like Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, VPC, Kubernetes
• Strong knowledge of networking concepts, including DNS, TCP/IP, and load balancing.
• Experience with automation and scripting using Python, Bash, or similar languages.
• Hands-on experience with Terraform or Deployment Manager for IaC.
• Familiarity with DevOps principles and CI/CD workflows.
• Good understanding of security best practices and compliance standards in the cloud.
• Good analytical, communication, problem solving, and learning skills
• Experience in programming against cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform.
