Our current infrastructure was migrated to the cloud but still relies heavily on legacy on-premise patterns. Initially, the contract will be for 6 months with an option to extend. * Your mission is to refactor this environment into a modern, cost-efficient, and deeply observable serverless platform on GCP. You will be at the intersection of Data Analytics, Platform Engineering, and DevOps. * By improving development experience and improving pipeline health and stability, you will eliminate operational friction so our business can effortlessly onboard new data sources and trust the data they consume. * Responsibilities * Pave a "Golden Path" for CI/CD using GitHub Workflows, abstracting GCP complexity so data engineers can build and deploy without fighting the infrastructure. * Audit, optimize, and maintain the existing Terraform codebase using reusable and modular components that enforce monitoring. * Migrate from a fragmented, custom-scripted alerting to a unified Dynatrace implementation. * Take the team along explaining the "why" behind design choices, openly review them with the team, and pragmatically adapt your designs to align with organizational constraints and feedback. * Optimize our existing cloud footprint by reducing spending and implementing cost-governance, ensuring that our newly observable pipelines are also financially efficient. * Champion the use of AI assisted development with GitHub Copilot. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
