We are seeking a Senior GCP Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, implement, and operate enterprise-grade infrastructure on Google Cloud. The role combines hands-on engineering with solution ownership — building automation, enforcing governance and security standards, mentoring junior engineers, and contributing to landing zone and platform design with limited supervision.
● Design, deploy, and manage GCP infrastructure at scale — Compute Engine / Managed Instance Groups, persistent disks/File store, Cloud Storage, VPCs, and Cloud Load Balancing — across multiple projects.
● Own Infrastructure-as-Code delivery using Terraform (preferred) or Deployment Manager/Config Connector, including reusable modules and CI/CD integration.
● Contribute to landing zone, project vending, and governance design using the GCP resource hierarchy, Organization Policies, and the Cloud Architecture Framework.
● Implement and manage IAM roles/policies, service accounts, Cloud Identity, Cloud KMS, Secret Manager, and VPC Service Controls.
● Design and operate networking — Shared VPC, VPC peering, Cloud VPN/Interconnect, Cloud Router, Cloud NAT, Cloud DNS, and Private Service Connect — within platform service limits.
● Build and maintain monitoring, logging, and observability using the Cloud Operations suite; drive reliability improvements.
● Lead operational activities — patching strategy, backup/DR, capacity planning, cost optimization (FinOps), and resource governance.
● Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, connectivity, and security issues; perform root-cause analysis.
● Manage GCP quotas and limits, raising increase requests and designing scalable, limit-aware architectures.
● Mentor junior engineers, review IaaC and designs, and contribute to standards and runbooks.
● Collaborate with architecture, security, networking, and application teams on solution delivery.
What you must have to be considered
● 4–6 years of hands-on GCP infrastructure experience with independent solution delivery.
● Strong command of GCP core services — Compute, Storage, VPC networking, IAM, Cloud KMS, and key managed services.
● Proven Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform preferred) with module design and CI/CD integration.
● Solid scripting skills (Python, gcloud CLI; Bash a plus).
● Strong networking knowledge — TCP/IP, DNS, routing, BGP basics, hybrid connectivity (Cloud VPN/Interconnect), and segmentation.
● Working knowledge of GCP governance — resource hierarchy, Organization Policies, Cloud Asset Inventory, labels, and security baselines.
● Understanding of GCP quotas/limits and capacity/cost planning.
● Experience with monitoring, DR/backup, and operational best practices.
These will help you succeed
● Exposure to landing zone implementation, multi-project governance, or security foundations blueprint.
● Familiarity with containers (GKE), and secondary exposure to Azure or AWS.
● Awareness of egress control / SASE tooling (e.g., Zscaler) and zero-trust networking.
● Certifications: Google Professional Cloud Architect, Professional Cloud Network Engineer, or Associate Cloud Engineer.
