Work Authorization: US Citizen or Green Card Required

Overview
We are seeking a GCP Cloud Engineer / Developer who can design, build, and scale cloud-native solutions on Google Cloud Platform.
This role is not about maintaining systems-it is about standing up modern cloud infrastructure, automating deployments, and enabling scalable, secure application delivery.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder who can operate across cloud engineering, DevOps, and application development to deliver measurable outcomes.

Performance Objectives
First 30 Days - Assess & Stabilize
  • Evaluate current GCP environment, architecture, and deployment pipelines
  • Identify gaps across infrastructure, security, and automation
  • Gain alignment with engineering and business stakeholders


60 Days - Build & Automate
  • Implement or enhance Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
  • Establish or improve CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitLab)
  • Begin optimizing application deployment workflows


90 Days - Scale & Optimize
  • Deliver scalable, production-ready cloud infrastructure
  • Improve system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability across environments


Ongoing Success
  • Ensure secure, compliant, and resilient cloud architecture
  • Continuously optimize cost, performance, and deployment speed
  • Support engineering teams with best practices and reusable patterns


Key Responsibilities
  • Design and deploy scalable GCP infrastructure using:
    • Compute Engine
    • Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
    • App Engine
  • Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using:
    • Terraform (preferred)
    • Google Cloud Deployment Manager
  • Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines:
    • Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitLab
  • Implement monitoring and observability:
    • Google Cloud Operations Suite (Stackdriver)
  • Manage security and compliance:
    • IAM policies
    • Encryption
    • Network security (VPCs, firewalls, load balancers)
  • Support data-driven solutions:
    • BigQuery
    • Cloud SQL
    • Cloud Storage


Technical Requirements
  • Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Terraform / IaC
    • Docker & Kubernetes (GKE)
    • CI/CD pipelines
  • Programming proficiency in:
    • Python, Java, Go, or Bash
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Networking (VPCs, firewalls, load balancing)
    • Cloud security and IAM
  • Experience with:
    • Git (GitHub / GitLab)
    • Agile development environments


What We're Really Looking
We want someone who can:
  • Take a cloud environment and make it scalable, automated, and production-ready
  • Reduce manual work through automation and pipelines
  • Improve system performance while controlling cloud costs
  • Work across teams and own delivery-not just tasks


Preferred Qualifications
  • Google Cloud certifications:
    • Professional Cloud Architect
    • Professional Cloud Developer
  • Experience in regulated environments (HIPAA, PCI, etc.)
  • Exposure to multi-cloud environments (AWS/Azure)


This Role Is NOT
  • Not a support-only role
  • Not a ticket-based cloud admin
  • Not limited to one tool or silo


Must Have:
  • GCP hands-on experience
  • Terraform / IaC
  • CI/CD pipeline experience
  • Kubernetes (GKE)
