Job Description
Responsibilities
- Design, build and operate scalable, resilient GKE environments
- Engineer multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters with strong workload isolation and platform guardrails
- Support shared and dedicated cluster patterns, including tenant onboarding
- Improve platform performance under production conditions (e.g. scaling, storage, node pressure)
- Build automation-first infrastructure using Terraform, CI/CD and GitOps
- Simplify cluster lifecycle management (provisioning, upgrades, add-ons)
- Develop self-service platform capabilities to improve developer experience
- Apply Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices to platform operations
- Support incident response, monitoring, observability and continuous improvement
- Diagnose issues across performance, scaling, storage and automation
- Contribute to a 24x7 on-call rotation
- Implement policy-as-code controls (e.g. OPA Gatekeeper, RBAC, workload identity)
- Support audit, compliance and risk mitigation activities
- Ensure platforms are secure, supportable and aligned to control frameworks
- Work with service mesh and ingress/egress patterns (e.g. Istio, Anthos, Cloud Service Mesh)
- Support cloud networking (VPCs, DNS, NAT, VPN, routing, connectivity)
- Integrate shared platform services (cert-manager, observability, cost tooling)
Requirements
- Strong experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps or SRE
- Proven delivery of production Kubernetes platforms, ideally GKE
- Experience with multi-tenant platform environments (shared clusters, isolation, scaling)
- Deep understanding of Kubernetes internals (scheduling, storage, node lifecycle, upgrades)
- Strong knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including: GKE IAM / Workload Identity Networking (VPC, DNS, NAT, ingress/egress) Storage patterns
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) using modular design
- Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows
- Coding/scripting (Python, Go or Bash)
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
- Ability to own and deliver complex engineering outcomes
