As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you'll be responsible for building and maintaining the foundation of a cloud-native platform running on Google Cloud Platform. Your work will directly influence system reliability, scalability, and automated operations across a distributed environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and manage core infrastructure components including networking, identity, and security on GCP.
- Operate and optimize Kubernetes-based systems using GKE, Knative, and Istio to support a multi-tenant platform.
- Implement infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and Terragrunt to ensure consistent, auditable deployments.
- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and TeamCity, integrated with GitOps tooling like Flux and Helm.
- Oversee the data layer built on Postgres and Neon, ensuring performance, tenant isolation, and safe schema evolution.
- Lead monitoring, alerting, and logging initiatives using Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki to maintain system health.
- Address complex operational challenges such as autoscaling efficiency, cold start reduction, and queue management.
- Drive improvements in system performance through tuning of container resources, caching, distributed locks, and garbage collection settings.
- Enforce security best practices across infrastructure, including secrets management, network segmentation, and vulnerability controls.
- Own strategic initiatives like multi-region deployments, disaster recovery, and ephemeral environments.
- Mentor engineers in cloud-native practices and promote SRE principles across teams.
- Collaborate with product and engineering to define long-term platform vision and operational strategy.
Qualifications
You bring at least five years of experience designing and operating large-scale cloud infrastructure with a focus on DevOps and site reliability engineering. You have deep technical knowledge of Kubernetes, GCP, and infrastructure automation tools.
- Proven expertise in GCP (or equivalent) and hands-on experience with Kubernetes administration.
- Strong proficiency with Terraform for managing complex, secure environments.
- Familiarity with Linux internals, networking (CNI, service mesh), and distributed systems.
- Experience with CI/CD systems, GitOps workflows, monitoring stacks, and logging solutions.
- Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly across teams.
- Experience with GKE is highly valued.
