You own the client's infrastructure on Google Cloud from design to operations: you shape the architecture, automate everything that can be automated, and keep production running reliably, securely and cost-efficiently.\nInside the client team, your decisions have real impact. At CloudHero, you are part of a small, senior team where learning and sharing knowledge are part of the job.\nKey responsibilities\nInfrastructure on GCP:design, build and operate the client's cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud, working side by side with their engineers, with an emphasis on automation, scalability and low maintenance.\nTechnical delivery:lead delivery within the client team: assessments, migrations, modernization and ongoing operations.\nKubernetes:build and manage Kubernetes platforms on GKE, including cluster lifecycle, autoscaling and application deployment with Helm.\nCI/CD:implement and maintain pipelines following GitOps principles (Argo CD / Flux, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Cloud Build).\nInfrastructure as Code:write and maintain infrastructure with Terraform; use Ansible or similar tools for configuration management.\nObservability:ensure strong monitoring, logging and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging).\nSecurity:implement security best practices across infrastructure and pipelines: IAM, Workload Identity, image and pipeline scanning, Security Command Center, Organization Policy and Cloud Asset Inventory.\nCost:identify cost-optimization opportunities and run reviews based on the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework.\nOperations:troubleshoot and resolve critical production issues, then drive post-incident improvements.\nAdvisory and mentoring: advise the client team on architecture, scaling and DevOps best practices; mentor other engineers and contribute to CloudHero's internal standards, templates and reusable modules.\nMust-have requirements\nGCP is the main cloud. Equivalent hands-on AWS experience is accepted wherever noted below.\n5+ years in DevOps, SRE or infrastructure roles, with a strong Linux background and hands-on production ownership.\nCloud: proven experience designing and running production workloads on GCP (preferred) or AWS.\nKubernetes: strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production (GKE preferred, EKS accepted) and with Helm.\nTerraform: solid experience, including writing and maintaining reusable modules.\nCI/CD: experience building pipelines, ideally with GitOps workflows.\nNetworking: good understanding of VPC design, Shared VPC, DNS, load balancing and proxies such as NGINX or Envoy.\nObservability: practical experience with monitoring and logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki or similar).\nSecurity: working knowledge of cloud security best practices and native security services, preferably on GCP (on AWS: Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config).\nOwnership: able to own a project end to end and make sound technical decisions independently, while collaborating closely with the client's team.\nNative Romanian and fluent English, spoken and written.\nNice to have\nGoogle Cloud Professional certifications (Cloud Architect, Cloud DevOps Engineer, Cloud Security Engineer) or AWS equivalents (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional, Security Specialty).\nHands-on cost optimization on GCP (Committed Use Discounts, Spot VMs, rightsizing).\nExposure to GenAI workloads on Vertex AI (or Amazon Bedrock / SageMaker).\nConsulting or team augmentation experience, working inside a client's team.\nDon't tick every box? If you are strong on the must-haves, apply anyway. The nice-to-haves are things you can grow into, not gates.\nWays of working\nWorks closely with the client's engineers, day to day, as part of their team.\nComfortable advising on architecture and explaining designs and trade-offs.\nShares knowledge: mentors other engineers and contributes to CloudHero's standards.\nWhat we offer\nOwnership of a client's Google Cloud infrastructure, from design to operations, with real impact on their team.\nA small, senior CloudHero team where learning and sharing knowledge are part of the job.\nHybrid setup with an office in central Bucharest (Victoriei area).\nCompetitive package, depending on experience and contract type (B2B or employment).\nSupport from CloudHero, a cloud-native consulting and managed services company, and its community of DevOps and platform engineers.\nWho is likely to be a strong match\nEngineers who can clearly explain infrastructure they personally designed, built and operated: a GKE or EKS platform, reusable Terraform modules, a CI/CD or GitOps setup, a monitoring and alerting stack.\nThey can discuss concrete cloud services, production incidents and the trade-offs behind their decisions.\nWho is probably not a fit\nProfiles that have only consumed infrastructure built by a dedicated DevOps or platform team, without building or improving any of it.\nMainly support, monitoring or ticket-based operations roles without design ownership.\nCandidates without hands-on production cloud experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5133,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Romanian","level":"Proficiency
