## About the Role

* Deep, hands-on Google Cloud experience (including GKE and Cloud SQL), with a strong grasp of GCP's networking and security model (experience with Cloudflare is a bonus).
 * Strong hands-on Kubernetes skills and a practical understanding of container orchestration in a production environment.
 * Proficiency in writing and standardising infrastructure code with Terraform, Helm, and modern CI/CD tooling.

## Description

 * Write high-quality, well-tested infrastructure code using Terraform, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipelines, actively contributing to team-wide standards.
 * Take ownership of complex production incidents-diagnosing, resolving, and driving blameless post-incident reviews to prevent recurrence.
 * Contribute to architectural discussions with well-reasoned proposals backed by practical experience.
 * Stay current with the cloud ecosystem and bring concrete, considered recommendations for tooling and approaches to the team.

Platform Quality & Reliability

 * Maintain a consistently high bar for scalability, resilience, and reliability across your areas of ownership.
 * Implement and improve observability using meaningful metrics, structured logging, and actionable alerting that surfaces real signals.
 * Ensure all infrastructure is version-controlled, reviewable, and reproducible, following infrastructure-as-code principles throughout.
 * Design and operate systems with security and compliance in mind-ensuring adherence to industry best practices and supporting audit requirements such as PCI-DSS and SOC 2.

Cross-Team Collaboration

 * Work closely with tech squads to help them consume platform capabilities effectively and unblock their delivery.
 * Partner with backend, data, and security engineers to align on shared infrastructure patterns and standards.
 * Communicate clearly about infrastructure changes, risks, and ongoing work to the teams that depend on the platform.
