Who Are You

You are a cloud-first, hands-on Staff Cloud Engineer who serves as a key technical contributor for the enterprise Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. You bring strong engineering expertise, sound architectural judgment, and a platform-focused mindset to help design, build, and operate secure, scalable, and production-grade GCP landing zones in highly regulated environments.

You are comfortable translating architecture into implementation, writing production-quality code, documenting technical decisions through Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable cloud platform capabilities. You influence peers and stakeholders through technical expertise, practical solutions, and operational excellence.

You believe Infrastructure as Code, security-by-design, automation, and observability are foundational principles for modern cloud platforms. You are motivated by building scalable, self-service solutions that enable teams to innovate quickly while maintaining reliability, compliance, and governance standards.

Role Responsibilities

Development & Enforcement

• Support the enterprise GCP platform, including organization structure, resource hierarchy, billing, networking architecture, IAM tiering, CMEK, VPC Service Controls, and centralized logging.
• Design, implement, and maintain enterprise GCP Landing Zone capabilities, including Shared VPC, project factory patterns, Org Policies, and governance guardrails.
• Contribute to GCP architecture and engineering decisions, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, reliable, and operationally ready.
• Implement and maintain engineering standards across Infrastructure as Code, GitOps workflows, naming conventions, tagging strategies, branching models, and deployment practices using Terraform and Kubernetes Config Connector (KCC).

Collaboration & Expertise

• Serve as a senior technical contributor within the GCP Cloud Engineering and Platform teams.
• Partner with enterprise architecture, security, networking, operations, and application teams to translate business and regulatory requirements into scalable cloud solutions.
• Collaborate across technology and platform teams, including AI and provisioning platforms, to enable secure and efficient cloud adoption.

• Deploy and support secure private GKE clusters using Workload Identity, Binary Authorization, Shielded Nodes, Config Sync, and least-privilege IAM practices.
• Implement identity and access management solutions leveraging IAM, group-based access controls, PAM entitlements, Workload Identity Federation, and Entra ID integration.
• Assess platform designs for performance, reliability, scalability, cost optimization, and operational sustainability.

Operational Support

• Build and maintain self-service platform capabilities that enable product teams to deploy workloads safely and independently.
• Implement observability solutions using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Datadog, SLIs/SLOs, alerting policies, and PagerDuty.
• Support CI/CD and automation infrastructure, including self-hosted GitHub Actions runners on GKE using Actions Runner Controller (ARC).
• Manage secrets and encryption lifecycle processes utilizing Secret Manager, CMEK, External Secrets Operator, and automated key rotation practices.
• Participate in on-call rotations and provide advanced support for platform and infrastructure incidents.
• Assist in automating compliance controls aligned with frameworks such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and FedRAMP.

Mentorship & Training

• Mentor and support engineers by sharing cloud engineering best practices, security principles, and operational standards.
• Participate in architecture, design, code, and security reviews to ensure platform quality and consistency.
• Promote adoption of GCP best practices and cloud-native design patterns.
• Contribute to developing technical knowledge and cloud engineering capabilities across the organization.

Innovation and Research

• Evaluate and pilot emerging GCP and cloud-native technologies, including GKE Enterprise, Vertex AI, and AI-assisted DevOps capabilities.
• Research modern Kubernetes, networking, and platform engineering approaches to improve scalability, security, and developer experience.
