Google Cloud Engineer Requirements
- Strong expertise with Terraform for GCP infrastructure as code.
- Experience with DevOps practices: CI/CD, GitOps, automation, monitoring.
- Comfortable working with Docker, Linux, and basic networking concepts (VPC, firewalls, peering).
- Solid understanding of GCP services
- You’ve shipped real infrastructure in GCP and know how to balance speed, cost, and stability.
- Terraform isn’t just a tool—you write clean, reusable modules and maintain IaC like product code.
- You're someone who sees security and compliance as built-in, not bolted on.
- You can take a vague idea, work with stakeholders, and turn it into a scalable GCP solution.
- You’re not afraid of logs, errors, or broken pipelines—you debug with confidence.
- You love collaborating, but you're also self motivated enough to own your scope end-to-end.
- Support GCP Infrastructure.
- Design, develop, and maintain Terraform and its modules for GCP infrastructure provisioning and management.
- Collaborate with Data Engineers and Architects to ensure cloud resources meet data processing, security, and scalability requirements.
- Work closely with the Security team to ensure all infrastructure and services are compliant with organizational and regulatory standards.
- Monitor and optimize GCP costs, implementing guardrails and usage patterns to keep spending under control.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments.
- Enable observability and monitoring across services (e.g., Cloud Monitoring, Logging, and custom alerts).
- Ensure GCP projects follow IAM best practices, cost optimization, and security standards.
- Troubleshoot issues and lead performance improvements across the platform.
