You’ll already be operating as a strong platform, infrastructure or cloud engineering leader within a technology, SaaS, fintech or similarly complex environment. You’ll bring significant hands on experience across GCP, Kubernetes/GKE, Infrastructure as Code and cloud native infrastructure, together with a strong understanding of reliability, automation, security and operational excellence. Experience designing and operating high availability, multi regional GCP environments, including GKE Standard and Autopilot, will be particularly valuable. You’ll also have strong Terraform experience and an understanding of modern security approaches including Zero Trust, Cloud Armor and global load balancing.
