• Kubernetes Operation: Manage and scale our Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters, including configuration of ingress, and monitoring components.
• Champion Security & Compliance: Integrate, implement, and audit security best practices across all infrastructure layers (GCP IAM, GKE policies, network security), ensuring regulatory compliance and leading incident response.
• Database Reliability: Manage the provisioning, scaling, and reliability of our Postgres databases (e.g., Cloud SQL) and other data stores.
• Observability: Build and refine our monitoring, tracing, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Google Cloud's operations suite) to ensure high availability.
• Mentorship and Design: Partner with engineering teams on scalable architecture design. Mentor other engineers on DevOps practices, cloud architecture, and security.

What you need to succeed

• Experience: 8+ years in a SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering role, with a proven track record of operating in a Staff or similar technical leadership capacity.
• Leadership & Communication: Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical decisions, mentor team members, and drive projects to completion.
• GCP Proficiency: Extensive hands-on experience designing and managing production environments in Google Cloud Platform.
• Kubernetes (K8s) Expert: Advanced knowledge of Kubernetes and its ecosystem (GKE preferred), including cluster administration and deployment tooling (e.g., Helm).
• Terraform/IaC: Extensive, production-level experience using Terraform to manage complex cloud environments.
• Automation: Deep experience with automation tooling and scripting (e.g., Bash, Python, Go) to manage infrastructure and operations at scale.
• Database Skills: Experience managing and scaling relational databases like Postgres in a production environment.
• Security Implementation & Auditing: Practical experience designing, implementing, and auditing security controls for cloud infrastructure, networks, and applications (e.g., IAM, network security).
