Cloud Engineer

About the Role:

We are looking for a highly skilled Cloud Engineer with deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with a strong background in cloud migration projects. This role involves leading the design, implementation, and migration of scalable, secure, and high-performance cloud infrastructure solutions.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure components.
• Design and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
• Architect and deploy containerized applications using Kubernetes (GKE).
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automating the deployment of applications.
• Work on integrating automated testing into the CI/CD pipeline.
• Use configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef) to automate the configuration and management of servers and infrastructure.
• Implement and maintain monitoring solutions to track system and application performance.
• Set up and manage centralized logging for applications and infrastructure.
• Collaborate with development and operations teams to understand and address their needs.
• Work towards creating a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility between development and operations.
• Work with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes) for scalable and automated deployment of applications.
• Write scripts and code to automate tasks and processes using languages like Python, Bash, Golang or others.
• Maintain clear and up-to-date documentation for configurations, processes, and procedures.

Qualification

Is Education overrated? Yes. We believe so. However there is no way to locate you otherwise. So unfortunately we might have to look for a Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering from a reputed institute or you should be programming from 12. And the latter is better. We will find you faster if you specify the latter in some manner. Not just a degree, but we are not too thrilled by tech certifications too ... :)

To reiterate: Passion to tech-awesome, insatiable desire to learn the latest of the new-age cloud tech, highly analytical aptitude and a strong ‘desire to deliver’ outlives those fancy degrees!

• Proven experience of 3+ years as a DevOps/Cloud Engineer.
• Proficiency in GCP services like Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, VPC, Kubernetes
• Strong knowledge of networking concepts, including DNS, TCP/IP, and load balancing.
• Experience with automation and scripting using Python, Bash, or similar languages.
• Hands-on experience with Terraform or Deployment Manager for IaC.
• Familiarity with DevOps principles and CI/CD workflows.
• Good understanding of security best practices and compliance standards in the cloud.
• Good analytical, communication, problem solving, and learning skills
• Experience in programming against cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform.
