GCP Devops

Role Summary

The DevOps Engineer will support day-to-day production operations and provide DevOps enablement for new project builds within a GCP environment. This role balances steady-state production support (deployments, monitoring, incident response) with project-based work (setting up new environments, pipelines, and infrastructure for new initiatives).

Key Responsibilities

• Provide production deployment support — plan, schedule, execute, and validate releases with minimal downtime.
• Support new project onboarding by setting up GCP environments, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure from scratch.
• Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar) for build, test, and deployment automation.
• Manage GCP infrastructure components: GKE (Kubernetes), Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, VPC networking, and IAM.
• Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / Deployment Manager) for repeatable, version-controlled environment provisioning.
• Monitor production systems using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Prometheus/Grafana; configure alerts and dashboards.
• Participate in incident response and troubleshooting — root cause analysis, hotfix deployment, and post-incident documentation.
• Manage containerization and orchestration (Docker, GKE) including scaling, upgrades, and configuration management.
• Implement and enforce security best practices: IAM policies, secrets management, network security, and compliance guardrails.
• Collaborate with development, QA, and product teams to align release schedules and environment needs.
• Maintain runbooks, deployment guides, and architecture/process documentation.
• Support on-call rotation for production issues as needed.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5–7 years of hands-on DevOps/Cloud Engineering experience, with demonstrable GCP expertise.
• Salesforce Experience is a PLUS

• Strong working knowledge of core GCP services: GKE, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud Build, Cloud Functions, VPC, IAM, Cloud Monitoring/Logging.
• Experience with CI/CD tooling (Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or Spinnaker).
• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred; Deployment Manager a plus).
• Solid scripting ability in Python and/or Bash/Shell.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE).
• Working knowledge of Git and branching strategies.
• Understanding of networking fundamentals (VPC, load balancing, DNS, firewall rules).
• Familiarity with monitoring/observability tools (Cloud Operations Suite, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
• Exposure to security/compliance practices in cloud environments (IAM least-privilege, secrets management).

Desired / Good to Have

• GCP certification (Associate Cloud Engineer or Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer).
• Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid environments.
• Exposure to Agile/Scrum delivery practices.
