Knowledge / Skill Requirements * Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, preferably Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). * Strong proficiency with Linux system administration and troubleshooting. * Experience managing infrastructure using Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code tools. * Experience packaging and deploying applications using Helm. * Strong experience with GitLab, including CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows. * Familiarity with cloud platforms, with preference for Google Cloud Platform (GCP). * Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language such as Python or Go; experience with Node.js is a plus. * Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing)., * Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Monitoring. * Familiarity with distributed tracing tools such as Google Cloud Trace. * Experience supporting security, compliance, or regulated environments. * Prior experience working in agile or product-driven development environments. * Relevant cloud or Kubernetes certifications (e.g., Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, CKA) are a plus. ## Description Platform Engineering and Automation * Design, build, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines that support automated build, test, and deployment workflows using GitLab CI/CD and standardized Git workflows. * Develop and maintain reusable pipeline templates, infrastructure modules, and automation patterns that enable consistent and efficient delivery across teams. * Continuously improve deployment speed, reliability, and quality through automation and tooling enhancements. Cloud Infrastructure and Kubernetes Operations * Design, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), with a primary focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). * Deploy, operate, and maintain Kubernetes clusters, particularly Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), ensuring high availability, scalability, and resilience. * Package and manage Kubernetes applications using Helm charts and established deployment standards. * Collaborate with engineering teams to support cloud-native application architectures and runtime requirements. Reliability, Monitoring, and Incident Response * Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure system performance, availability, and operational visibility (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring). * Participate in incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis to restore service and prevent recurrence. * Contribute to fault-tolerant and resilient system designs that support production reliability and operational excellence. Security and Compliance Enablement * Apply secure-by-design principles across CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and Kubernetes environments, including secrets management, access controls, and least-privilege IAM. * Collaborate with security and platform stakeholders to integrate vulnerability scanning, configuration hardening, and compliance requirements into delivery workflows. * Support organizational security, audit, and compliance initiatives by ensuring infrastructure and deployment processes are auditable, repeatable, and well-documented. Collaboration and Documentation * Work closely with software engineers, QA, and platform stakeholders to understand delivery needs and remove friction from the development lifecycle. * Document infrastructure designs, deployment patterns, operational procedures, and architectural decisions to support knowledge sharing and long-term maintainability. * Promote DevOps best practices, automation-first thinking, and continuous improvement across engineering teams., * This role does not have direct reports but is expected to provide technical leadership, guidance, and enablement across multiple engineering teams. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [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) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers)
