Collaborate with cloud architects, security teams, and application owners to define networking requirements and implement best practices.
Ensure network security, compliance, and performance optimization across GCP environments.
Troubleshoot and resolve network-related issues in GCP environments.
Integrate network automation into CI/CD pipelines and change management workflows.
Document network designs, Terraform modules, and operational procedures.
Stay current with GCP networking innovations and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
Design reusable, versioned Terraform modules following best practices (DRY, least privilege, environment isolation) and enforce standards using Terraform Cloud / Terraform Enterprise or CI-based validations.
Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) governance using policy-as-code (Sentinel / OPA), automated validations, and drift detection.
