They are seeking a Senior GCP DevOps Engineer to build secure CI/CD pipelines, manage GCP infrastructure, and operationalize Vertex AI workloads within a complex cloud environment.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement secure CI/CD pipelines that move code from development to production with zero security exceptions—embedding automated security gates, policy enforcement, and compliance checks at every stage of the delivery process
- Architect and manage GKE/Kubernetes environments, including namespace design, multi-tenant cluster configuration, and Workload Identity Federation (WIF) binding for secure, keyless service authentication
- Provision and manage GCP infrastructure using Terraform, including Project-per-tenant setups, resource hierarchy design, and maintaining environment parity across development, staging, and production
- Operationalize Vertex AI for long-running asynchronous batch jobs (1hr+)—covering job scheduling, resource configuration, monitoring, and failure recovery patterns
- Design and manage cross-cloud networking using Partner Cross Cloud Interconnect (GCP ↔ AWS / on-prem), Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP), and firewall topology to ensure secure, low-latency hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity
- Lead pre-production security hardening activities and deploy API gateways (Cloud Endpoints, Apigee, or equivalent) with proper authentication, rate limiting, and threat protection policies
- Establish monitoring, alerting, and cost optimization practices across GCP environments, ensuring infrastructure reliability and FinOps accountability
- Collaborate with engineering teams to define platform standards, reduce operational overhead, and support smooth handoffs from professional services to internal teams
