Platform Engineer (GCP Architect)

As a Technical Architect (Platform Engineer) with expertise in GCP Cloud Infrastructure, GKE, and Terraform, your role will involve defining and owning cloud architecture strategy on GCP, designing scalable and secure solutions, leading Kubernetes architecture & implementation (GKE), establishing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, providing solutioning for complex business requirements, and driving DevOps maturity. Collaboration with stakeholders, mentoring engineering teams, and ensuring security, compliance, and cost optimization are key responsibilities. Your strong skills in GCP Architecture, GKE, Terraform, Microservices, Cloud Networking, CI/CD, and cloud security frameworks are essential. Preferred skills include GCP Certification, Multi-cloud experience, observability tools exposure, and cost optimization knowledge. Experience in enterprise-scale cloud transformation programs and knowledge of Service Mesh would be advantageous. Key Responsibilities: - Define and own cloud architecture strategy on GCP - Design scalable, secure, and highly available solutions using GCP services - Lead Kubernetes architecture & implementation (GKE) for containerized workloads - Establish and govern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform - Provide solutioning for complex business requirements and translate them into technical designs - Review and approve architecture, design patterns, and best practices - Drive DevOps maturity, including CI/CD, automation, and release strategies - Ensure security, compliance, and cost optimization across cloud environments - Collaborate with stakeholders, business teams, and engineering leadership - Mentor and guide engineering teams Required Skills: - Strong experience in GCP Architecture (Compute, Networking, IAM, Storage, etc.) - Deep expertise in GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) and Kubernetes ecosystem - Hands-on experience with Terraform for IaC - Proven experience in Architecture & Solutioning roles - Strong knowledge of Microservices Architecture & Distributed Systems - Expertise in Cloud Networking (VPC, Load Balancer, VPN, Interconnect) - Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices - Understanding of cloud security frameworks and best practices Preferred Skills: - GCP Certification (Professional Cloud Architect) - Experience with Multi-cloud / Hybrid Cloud environments - Exposure to observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Monitoring) - Experience in cost optimization & governance frameworks Nice to Have: - Experience in enterprise-scale cloud transformation programs - Knowledge of Service Mesh (Istio) - Scripting knowledge in Python / Bash If interested, please reply back with your updated profile and the requested details. We will reach out to you upon receiving your application.
