• Continuously improve developer experience through reusable modules, templates, and documentation
• Support and optimize cloud data services such as BigQuery and BigTable, including security, access patterns, and performance considerations
• Collaborate with engineering and analytics stakeholders on scalable data workflows and governance

• Strong hands-on experience with GCP IAM, including service accounts, custom roles, and least privilege design
• Strong understanding of GCP networking, including VPC design, routing, firewalling, load balancing, and private connectivity patterns
• Experience implementing cloud security controls and best practices (logging, encryption, key management, policy guardrails)
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code and automation (Terraform strongly preferred) and scripting (Python, Bash, or Go)
• Experience operating production environments with strong troubleshooting skills and an observability mindset
• Experience with BigQuery and Bigtable (security, access management, performance tuning, and operations)
• Experience with Kubernetes on GKE
• Familiarity with SIEM/SOAR tooling or cloud security posture management approaches
• Google Cloud certifications are a plus (Professional Cloud Architect, Professional Cloud Security Engineer, Professional Cloud Network Engineer, etc.)
• Experience in agile teams (Scrum, Kanban) and fast-moving scale-up environments
• Hands-on GitLab experience is a plus
