Onboarding and Billing teams to build resilience and recovery into their applications. Drive cost optimization and performance tuning across GCP services. Document infrastructure, operational procedures and architectural decisions.
Act as the internal reference for Dev Ops practices and mentor the wider tech team. Keep the platform aligned with regulatory and security compliance requirements, including external audit readiness. 4+ years in Dev Ops, SRE or Software Engineering roles with strong operational exposure. Terraform at production scale. Docker and Kubernetes. CI/CD design and implementation, ideally with Git Hub Actions. Monitoring and logging with Prometheus and Open Telemetry. Experience with distributed systems. Strong troubleshooting across application, network (TCP/IP) and system layers.
