You will monitor, optimize, and automate the deployment of our infrastructure using GCP services, including Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Virtual Machines, Kubernetes, and Dataflow. You will also take ownership of our logging and monitoring tools, streamline our deployment pipelines, and work to enhance database performance. Key Responsibilities: 

• Infrastructure Management: 
• Design, build, and maintain highly available and scalable infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). 
• Work with GCP services like Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Virtual Machines, Kubernetes Engine, App Engine, and Dataflow. 
• Automate and optimize deployment processes using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) preferably Terraform and CI/CD pipelines. 
• Monitoring and Optimization: 
• Enhance system observability by setting up and maintaining logging and monitoring solutions, including Sentry. 
• Proactively monitor the health and performance of our systems, troubleshoot incidents, and implement resolutions. 
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve system efficiency and reduce latency. 
• Deployment Pipeline Management: 
• Oversee the deployment pipeline using Bitbucket to ensure smooth, reliable, and repeatable deployment processes. 
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure the integration of scalable and maintainable deployment practices. 
• Database Optimization:

• Strong scripting and automation skills using tools like Terraform, Python, bash, or equivalent. 
• Proficiency in setting up and managing alerting, monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Sentry, Stackdriver, or similar) as well as dashboarding (e.g. Grafana). 
• Experience managing CI/CD pipelines with Bitbucket or similar tools. 
• Solid understanding of MySQL database performance tuning and query optimization. 
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools, such as Docker and Kubernetes. 

Preferred Skills: 

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform or similar tools. 
• Knowledge of incident response and on-call best practices. 
• Familiarity with modern software delivery practices like DevOps and Agile.
