Senior DevOps Engineer - GCP
About the Role :
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to build and manage our cloud infrastructure from the ground up.
This role is suited for someone who understands GCP-native concepts and semantics, can make sound infrastructure decisions, and is comfortable owning the platform end-to-end.
Key Responsibilities :
- Design and build GCP infrastructure from scratch across development, staging, and production environments.
- Set up and manage GCP fundamentals including projects, folders, IAM, VPCs, networking, service accounts, security, and organization policies.
- Build and maintain GKE/Kubernetes infrastructure and supporting services.
- Set up CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, deployment automation, and release processes.
- Establish monitoring, logging, alerting, observability, and incident management.
- Implement cloud security, access controls, secrets management, and best practices.
- Establish backup, disaster recovery, scalability, and reliability practices.
- Work with engineering teams to make applications production-ready on GCP.
- Optimize infrastructure for performance, reliability, and cost.
- Establish standards and reusable patterns for engineering teams to provision and operate infrastructure.
- Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, deployment, and production issues.
What We're Looking For :
- 7+ years of DevOps, with significant hands-on GCP experience.
- Strong understanding of GCP-native services and architecture, not just generic cloud concepts.
Tech Stack :
- GCP IAM, VPC, Cloud DNS, Load Balancing, Cloud NAT
- GKE and Kubernetes
- Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL and other core GCP services
- Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging
- Secret Manager and KMS

- Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
- CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
- Networking, Linux, containers, security, and distributed systems
Good to Have :
- GCP certifications.
- Experience with platform engineering and developer self-service.
- Experience with observability platforms and incident management.
- Experience running high-scale or production-critical systems.
- Experience establishing cloud governance, security, and cost-management practices.
