DevOps Engineer – Google Cloud Platform, Terraform

Role Overview

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud-native infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Terraform across multiple environments (production, staging, sandbox, and customer deployments).
• Architect and operate serverless container workloads using Cloud Run, ensuring efficient scaling, resource management, and cost optimisation.
• Design and manage event-driven systems using Pub/Sub, including message retention, acknowledgement deadlines, dead-letter queues (DLQ), and monitoring.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Cloud Build, including automated Terraform deployments and GitOps-based workflows.
• Develop reusable Terraform modules and manage infrastructure across multiple GCP projects using best practices for remote state and environment separation.
• Manage containerized workloads and cloud networking using services such as GKE, VPC, Load Balancers, Cloud Armor, IAM, and Secret Manager.
• Collaborate with software engineers on architecture design decisions, including scaling strategies, service separation (HTTP vs WebSockets), and performance optimisation.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability using Google Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Sentry, and OpenTelemetry.
• Administer and optimise data infrastructure, including MongoDB Atlas, Redis, BigQuery, and Cloud Storage.**Perform incident response and root cause analysis, implementing long-term improvements to increase reliability and resilience.
• Own infrastructure end-to-end, including architecture decisions, performance optimisation, cost management, and operational excellence.
• Create and maintain documentation, operational runbooks, and best practices.
• Mentor engineers and promote DevOps and cloud architecture best practices across the organisation.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering experience supporting production cloud environments.
• Strong experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in production environments.
• Hands-on experience with Cloud Run and serverless container platforms in GCP.
• Experience designing and operating event-driven architectures using Google Cloud Pub/Sub.
• Strong understanding of serverless architecture patterns, including scaling behaviour and cost models for container workloads.
• Experience working with Cloud Functions, GKE, VPC networking, Load Balancers, Cloud Armor, IAM, and Secret Manager.
• Advanced experience with Terraform, including Infrastructure as Code for multi-environment systems, module development, remote state management, and Terraform Cloud workflows.
• Experience managing multi-project infrastructure setups in GCP using Terraform.
• Strong experience with Docker and containerized workloads.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Cloud Build.
• Experience administering MongoDB Atlas, including replication, backups, performance tuning, and network configuration.
• Proficiency in Python and Bash for automation and infrastructure tooling.
• Strong understanding of monitoring, logging, and observability in distributed cloud systems, including metrics, logs, tracing, and latency analysis.
• Ability to design, operate, and take ownership of infrastructure and systems end-to-end, including architecture decisions, performance optimisation, and cost management.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a fully remote, async-first team environment.
