EngineeringDevops Engineer

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will help build and operate reliable, scalable cloud platforms supporting critical enterprise applications. You’ll work extensively with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern CI/CD practices to improve infrastructure and software delivery. The role combines platform engineering, automation, systems reliability, and developer enablement in a highly collaborative environment. You’ll help establish infrastructure-as-code standards and streamline deployment processes across engineering teams. Your work will directly contribute to service availability, operational efficiency, and engineering productivity. You’ll also have opportunities to advance cloud automation and explore emerging AI/LLM technologies within the platform ecosystem.

Architect, deploy, and maintain scalable and reliable systems and enterprise applications on Google Cloud Platform.
Establish and maintain infrastructure-as-code standards using Terraform, while leveraging automation tools such as Ansible and SaltStack.
Design and implement end-to-end CI/CD pipelines that accelerate software delivery and reduce manual processes.
Manage critical enterprise applications and develop automated deployment, upgrade, and operational workflows.
Lead incident management activities, perform root cause analyses, and participate in on-call rotations to maintain high service availability.
Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize system performance, resource utilization, and cloud infrastructure costs through rightsizing.
Build and maintain internal developer platforms, tools, and automation that improve engineering productivity.
Strengthen Linux, container, and cloud environments through security guardrails, monitoring, logging, and reliable operational practices.
