You will work at the intersection of cloud resources, backend systems, networking, and data engineering to deliver scalable security solutions., * Cloud Issues Remediation: Develop and execute mitigation plans to address high-priority issues in GCP, Azure or AWS. This will typically involve updating Terraform repositories and/or scripting the remediation steps to fix the same issue in multiple projects.

  • Secrets Management: Coordinate the rotation of mismanaged cloud secrets which can only be done by the end users (engineering or infrastructure teams).
  • Addressing Root Cause: While your main goal will be fixing existing cloud resources, you will need to address the root cause to avoid the issues from reoccurring in future deployments

  • Problem Solving: Ability to design new testing methods and resolve complex technical issues with minimal assistance.
  • Architecture: Ability to navigate the current architecture and repositories to understand the context of the issues at stake. Ability to anticipate problems and/or possible outages in the proposed remediation plans.
  • Communication: Clearly communicates Agile concepts to partners and demonstrates a commitment to team priorities.
  • Continuous Learning: Stays current with evolving technologies via formal training and self-directed education.

Required Technical Skills

  • Language: 5+ years writing automation pipelines and/or scripts for GCP specifically.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code: at least 3+ years writing production Terraform code in a complex environment (e.g. >100 GCP projects)
  • Infrastructure: Proficiency with on-prem and cloud networking (SDN). Strong understanding of core infrastructure components on-prem and in the cloud: compute, storage, databases, IAM etc.
