Preferred Qualifications * Proficiency in Golang, Ruby, Java, or similar systems programming languages. * Experience building developer platforms or internal tooling, or cloud enablement frameworks. * Familiarity with Backstage, Crossplane, Argo, Terraform, policy-as-code frameworks, or similar platform tooling. * Familiarity with SRE practices, SLIs/SLOs, chaos engineering, and reliability engineering frameworks. ## Description * Drive Cloud Migration: Drive the end-to-end migration of production workloads from on-premise data centers to GCP. * Architect for Reliability: Design and implement production-grade Kubernetes environments and GCP architectures that prioritize 99.99+% availability. * Operational Excellence: Improve incident triage and improved recovery timeby implementing cloud-aware diagnostics and automated recovery patterns. * Empower Developers: Reduce friction in the development lifecycle by optimizing platform response times and ensuring reliable, repeatable deployment events. * Platform Standards, Security, and Governance: Embed security and compliance controls directly into platform abstractions (policy-as-code, identity, networking) and partner with security and compliance teams to meet regulatory requirements by design. * Mentor and Standardize: Build patterns and shared tooling that allow the broader engineering teams to operate confidently in the cloud without external reliance. 12-Month Definition of Success Within 12 months, you will have demonstrably delivered: 1. Cloud Migration Execution * Successful migration of production workloads to public cloud * Prevented customer-impacting regressions attributable to platform design * Clear, documented cloud architectures and operational runbooks 2. Reliability & Operations * Sustained 99.99%+ availability during and after migration * Improved incident triage and improved recovery time through cloud-aware diagnostics * Production-grade Kubernetes operations in cloud 3. Team Uplift * Platform team operating independently and confidently in cloud * Shared standards, tooling, and golden paths adopted across teams * Reduced reliance on external consultants or reactively addressing infrastructure issues 4. Developer Productivity * Faster platform response times for developer issues * More reliable deployments and fewer rollback events * Clear reduction in developer-reported friction related to infrastructure ## Related Videos - [We adopted DevOps and are Cloud-native, Now What?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/485-we-adopted-devops-and-are-cloud-native-now-what) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) ## 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) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [20 Essential Tools For Backend Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/218-20-essential-tools-for-backend-development)
