Cloud DevOps Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Design, build, manage, and maintain GCP infrastructure using Terraform following best practices for security, reliability, and maintainability.

• GCP Networking: Implement and manage VPC networks, subnets, firewall rules, load balancing, and connectivity solutions (e.g., VPN, Interconnect, Private Service Connect) within GCP.

• Compute & Containerization: Deploy, manage, and scale applications using Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) leveraging Docker containers.

• Database Management: Provision, configure, manage, and monitor GCP database services like Cloud SQL and potentially other relevant database solutions.

• Caching: Implement and manage GCP caching solutions (e.g., Cloud Memorystore) to optimize application performance.

• CI/CD Pipelines: Design, implement, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., using GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Cloud Build) for automated testing and deployment of infrastructure and applications.

• Monitoring & Logging: Implement and manage comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions using GCP native tools (Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging) and potentially other tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).

• Automation: Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and operational tasks using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash).

• Security: Implement and enforce cloud security best practices, including IAM policies, network security controls, and secrets management.

• Collaboration: Work closely with development, security, and operations teams in an Agile environment to support application deployment and troubleshoot issues.

• Optimization: Continuously evaluate and optimize cloud infrastructure for performance, cost-efficiency, and reliability.

• Documentation: Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation for infrastructure configurations, processes, and runbooks.
