Job Description

Hands-on Google Cloud Platform Platform Engineer to own and operate the Google Cloud environment — managing infrastructure-as-code, GKE cluster ingress and orchestration, platform security, and owning Google Cloud Platform onboarding and access for application teams.

Responsibilities

•     Own the Terraform IaC codebase — reusable, version-controlled modules (Git workflows, PR reviews, releases), remote state, and CI/CD-driven infrastructure pipelines.

•     Design and manage GKE cluster ingress end to end — Google Cloud Load Balancing, Ingress/Gateway API, NGINX or similar controllers, TLS/certificate management, Cloud DNS, and multi-cluster traffic routing.

•     Operate GKE clusters — workload orchestration, autoscaling, upgrades, and troubleshooting.

•     Implement Google Cloud Platform security controls — IAM, org policies, VPC Service Controls, workload identity, secrets management.

•     Own Google Cloud Platform onboarding: project provisioning, access grants and audits, guardrails for new teams and workloads.

•     Build Golang automation for provisioning, access workflows, and platform operations.

Required Skills

•     5+ years in cloud/platform engineering with strong Google Cloud Platform depth.

•     Proven, hands-on Kubernetes ingress experience — configuring and troubleshooting ingress controllers, load balancers, routing rules, TLS termination, and DNS in production GKE.

•     Expert Terraform with disciplined version control (branching, module versioning, code reviews).

•     Strong Google Cloud Platform security fundamentals — IAM, least-privilege design, network security.

•     Experience owning cloud onboarding / access management processes.

•     Golang proficiency for automation and tooling.

Nice to Have

•     Google Cloud Platform Professional Cloud Architect or Security Engineer certification; CKA.

•     Service mesh experience (Istio / Anthos Service Mesh).

•     Policy-as-code (OPA / Sentinel); Config Connector or Crossplane.

•     Platform engineering / IDP exposure (e.g., Backstage).
