Here at Scotts Miracle-Gro there is no such thing as a typical day. Our culture is constantly energized by new and exciting growth opportunities and at a rapid pace. Below are details on an open job. If the role interests you and you would like to be considered we encourage you to apply!  
** Job Profile Summary
** As the Technical Manager of Cloud Computing Engineering, you will be the senior hands-on technical leader for Scotts Miracle-Gro’s cloud infrastructure. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is our primary platform, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a key secondary platform. You will lead our Kubernetes and container strategy — including Amazon EKS and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) — and drive infrastructure-as-code and automation practices using Git Hub.  

This is a technical leadership role with no direct reports. You will set technical direction, lead cloud projects, and mentor engineers across the Infrastructure team, reporting to the Director, Infrastructure Operations & Services.  
** In this role you will:**
* ** GCP Engineering & Operations:
** Design, build, and operate our GCP environment — Compute Engine, GKE, VPC networking, Cloud IAM, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Logging/Monitoring — and serve as the top escalation point for GCP issues.
* ** Kubernetes & Containers:
** Design, deploy, and support containerized workloads on Amazon EKS and GKE, including cluster architecture, upgrades, networking, autoscaling, RBAC, container registries, and Helm-based deployments.
* ** AWS & Multi-Cloud:
** Engineer and support AWS infrastructure (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, EKS) and the connectivity between AWS, GCP, and our on-premises environment.
* ** Infrastructure as Code & CI/CD:
** Build and maintain Terraform and automation in Git Hub and other code repositories; set branching and code-review standards and build CI/CD pipelines.
* ** Security & Compliance:
** Implement cloud security best practices — least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, encryption, secrets management, and image scanning — in partnership with Information Security.
* ** Technical Leadership:
** Lead cloud projects from design through delivery, mentor engineers, run design and code reviews, and write architecture standards and runbooks.
* ** Cost Optimization:
** Monitor and optimize GCP and AWS spend through rightsizing, commitments, and tagging standards.
* ** Vendor Engagement & Reporting:
** Work with Google Cloud, AWS, and partner engineers, evaluate new services and tools, and report on project status, risks, and recommendations to IOS leadership.
** What you’ll need to be successful:
**** Required
* ** Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
* 6–10 years of infrastructure or cloud engineering experience, including 3+ years of hands-on GCP engineering.
* Deep hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (Compute Engine, GKE, VPC networking, Cloud IAM, Cloud Storage, Cloud Logging/Monitoring).
* 2+ years building and operating production Kubernetes clusters, ideally Amazon EKS and GKE.
* Strong experience with Docker or similar container tooling, container registries, and Helm.
* Working experience with core AWS services (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, EKS).
* Daily use of Git with Git Hub and/or other code repositories (Git Lab, Bitbucket).
* Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills.
* Experience with infrastructure as code, preferably Terraform.
* Solid understanding of cloud networking and identity/access management.
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical designs and trade-offs to…
