Develop and maintain reusable Terraform modules, manage remote state, and enforce code review, testing, and drift detection for all infrastructure changes
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and release automation across product engineering teams
Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting (Cloud Monitoring/Logging, Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure the availability and performance of production environments
Participate in the on-call rotation, lead incident response and root cause analysis, and drive remediation to prevent recurrence
Apply security best practices across the cloud environment, including least-privilege IAM, secrets management, network policies, and vulnerability remediation, in support of SOC 2 compliance
Track and optimize cloud spend through rightsizing, committed-use planning, and resource hygiene
Automate repetitive operational tasks with scripting (Python, Bash, or Go) and configuration management tools
Partner with development and QA teams to define release pipelines, environments, and test frameworks
Document architecture, runbooks, and standard operating procedures

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

At least 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering
Terraform: Strong, hands-on experience writing and maintaining production Terraform, including modules, remote state, workspaces, and CI-driven plan/apply workflows
Google Cloud Platform: Hands-on experience designing and operating production workloads on GCP, including GKE, IAM, VPC networking, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage
Solid experience with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes), including Helm
Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
Deep knowledge of Git and branching/release workflows
Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or Go)
Understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, TCP/IP, firewalls, VPN)

EDUCATION:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

NICE TO HAVE:

Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer or Professional Cloud Architect certification
Experience with AWS or Azure in a multi-cloud or hybrid environment
