• Manage and optimize GCP resources such as Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Functions, and Big Query to support development teams.

• Build, maintain, and enhance continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to ensure seamless and automated code deployment to GCP environments.
• Integrate CI/CD pipelines with GCP services like Cloud Build, Cloud Source Repositories, or third‑party tools such as Jenkins.
• Ensure pipelines are optimized for faster build, test, and deployment cycles.

• Implement and manage cloud monitoring and logging solutions using Dynatrace and GCP‑native tools such as Stackdriver (Monitoring, Logging, and Trace).
• Monitor cloud infrastructure health and resolve performance issues, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum uptime.
• Set up incident management workflows, implement alerting mechanisms, and create runbooks for rapid issue resolution.

• Implement security best practices for cloud infrastructure, including identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and network security.
• Ensure GCP environments comply with organizational security policies and industry standards such as GDPR/CCPA, or PCI‑DSS.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments and perform regular patching and system updates to mitigate security risks.

• Collaborate with development teams to design cloud‑native applications that are optimized for performance, security, and scalability on GCP.
• Work closely with cloud architects to provide input on cloud design and best practices for continuous integration, testing, and deployment.
• Provide day‑to‑day support for development, QA, and production environments, ensuring availability and stability.

• Monitor and optimize cloud costs by analyzing resource utilization and recommending cost‑saving measures such as right‑sizing instances, using preemptible VMs, or implementing auto‑scaling.

• Develop and maintain scripts (using languages like Python, Bash, or Power Shell) to automate routine tasks and system operations.
• Use configuration management tools like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet to manage cloud resources and maintain system configurations.

• 3+ years of experience as a Dev Ops Engineer or Cloud Engineer, with hands‑on experience in managing cloud infrastructure.
• Proven experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services such as Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Kubernetes Engine, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, and others.
• Experience in automating cloud infrastructure with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager, or Ansible.

• Strong knowledge of CI/CD tools and processes (e.g., Jenkins, Git Lab CI, Circle
  
  CI, or GCP Cloud Build).
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, or similar languages.
• Strong understanding of containerization technologies (Docker) and container orchestration tools such as Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with GCP networking, security (IAM, VPC, firewall rules), and monitoring tools (Stackdriver).

• Experience with Git for version control and collaboration.
• Familiarity with GCP‑native Dev Ops tools such as Cloud Build, Cloud Source Repositories, Artifact Registry, and Binary Authorization.
• Understanding of Dev Ops practices and principles, including Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Infrastructure as Code, and Monitoring/Alerting.

• Knowledge of security best practices for cloud environments, including IAM, network security, and data encryption.
• Understanding of compliance and regulatory requirements related to cloud computing (e.g., GDPR/CCPA, HIPAA, or PCI).
