- Document system architecture, runbooks, and on-call procedures to ensure operational clarity and compliance.
What We're Looking For
- Proficiency in scripting or programming languages such as Go, Python, or Bash for automation and tool development.
- Proven experience with cloud platforms, especially GCP, and containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Hands-on work with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Cloud Deployment Manager.
- Familiarity with GitOps tools including FluxCD or ArgoCD for continuous delivery.
- Solid grasp of distributed systems, microservices, and reliability engineering principles.
- Experience implementing monitoring and observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar tools.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to remain effective during high-pressure incidents.
- Understanding of secure operations, backup strategies, and compliance in regulated environments.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work across technical and non-technical functions.
