You will own Kubernetes, GCP, Terraform, GitOps, observability, and stateful production services, with on-call coverage during APAC hours and coordinated handoffs with Europe and North America.

You will automate incidents, improve runbooks, and contribute to reliability improvements through monitoring and scalable tooling.

Qualifications

Typically five or more years of production experience in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or infra operations.
Strong Kubernetes and cloud-platform experience; production GCP/GKE experience preferred.
Strong Terraform/IaC, GitOps, and CI/CD fundamentals.
Solid Linux, containers, networking, DNS/TLS, IAM, and secrets-management knowledge.
Experience monitoring and responding to incidents involving distributed or stateful services.
Practical scripting and automation skills.
Clear written and spoken English, with strong documentation and asynchronous handoff habits.
Ability to work the published APAC schedule and participate in the defined on-call rotation.

Responsibilities

Own production reliability during APAC operating hours, including alert triage, incident coordination, mitigation, communication, and cross-region handoffs.
After onboarding and shadowing, participate in a shared primary/secondary on-call rotation with documented backup and escalation paths.
Build and operate GCP/GKE and hybrid Kubernetes infrastructure using Terraform, Atlantis, FluxCD, Helm, and Kustomize.
Ship reviewed, observable, and reversible production changes through GitLab CI/CD and GitOps workflows.
Build monitoring and alerting with Prometheus/Mimir, Grafana, Alertmanager, and Grafana IRM; improve alert quality, SLOs, runbooks, and post-incident actions.
Operate stateful services and recovery mechanisms, including PostgreSQL/CloudNativePG, WAL backups, Redis, Kafka, persistent volumes, and capacity tuning.
Manage IAM, Workload Identity, secrets, artifact registries, DNS, TLS, ingress, load balancers, and network policies.
Automate repetitive operations using Python, Go, Bash, or similar tools.
Review infrastructure changes and collaborate asynchronously with engineers across APAC, Europe, and North America.
