This is a hands-on senior engineering role that combines deep GCP expertise with cloud architecture and DevOps leadership. You will serve as an architectural authority for cloud and system design while maintaining and extending the existing infrastructure-as-code environment, supporting engineering teams onboarding onto the platform, and ensuring the platform remains secure, reliable, cost-effective, and aligned with established standards. The ideal candidate is comfortable inheriting an existing cloud environment, understanding the architecture and design decisions already in place, and improving the platform without unnecessarily rebuilding it., * Own and evolve our GCP landing zone across networking, IAM, security, and governance as requirements change. * Maintain and extend our infrastructure-as-code estate and the automation that deploys it. * Serve as the architectural authority for cloud and system design - set standards, review designs, and guide teams toward them. * Support engineering teams onboarding onto the platform, and keep the self-service path smooth. * Keep the platform healthy over time: cost, security posture, reliability, and reducing drift between what's documented and what's running. * Advocate for DevOps practices across the organization. ## Related Videos - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [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) - [The Cloud is Calling: Answer with In-Demand Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/945-the-cloud-is-calling-answer-with-in-demand-skills) - [We adopted DevOps and are Cloud-native, Now What?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/485-we-adopted-devops-and-are-cloud-native-now-what) - [Terraform for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/3-terraform-for-developers) ## Related Articles - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
