Remote role 

1-2 rounds of Interviews

 Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

•            Multi-Cloud Network Engineering: Design and implement high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between Azure and Google Cloud Platform using Direct Cloud-to-Cloud Interconnect and Site-to-Site VPN meshes to support synchronous data replication.

•            Kubernetes Platform Management: Provision and manage Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and OpenShift clusters, ensuring optimized IP address strategies using VPC-native clusters and Class E (240.x) secondary ranges to prevent IP exhaustion.

•            Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Development: Build and maintain modular Terraform and Terragrunt repositories to automate the deployment of Google Cloud Platform landing zones, networking, and datastores while enforcing corporate standards for logging and security.

•            API Gateway Ingress & Governance: Configure and secure the API management layer (APIM, including APIM self-hosted) to handle cross-cloud traffic, ensuring sub-20-second global deployment cycles and consistent rate-limiting across environments.

•            Multi-Cloud Observability: Set up OpenTelemetry (OTEL) collectors to aggregate traces, metrics, and logs from Google Cloud Platform services and GKE clusters, exporting them to central backends like Honeycomb or Grafana Cloud.

•            Security & Identity Federation: Implement Workload Identity Federation (OIDC) to establish trust between GitHub Actions and Google Cloud Platform IAM, replacing long-lived service account keys with short-lived, scoped tokens.

•            Automated GitOps Pipelines: Manage the deployment of containerized .NET applications using ArgoCD to ensure the Google Cloud Platform environment remains in sync with the declarative source of truth in GitHub.

Required:

•            Google Cloud Platform Core Infrastructure Expertise: Deep experience with Google Cloud networking (VPC, Cloud Interconnect, HA VPN), IAM, and project hierarchy management.

•            IaC Mastery: Advanced skills in Terraform and Terragrunt for managing complex multi-environment state and cross-module dependencies.

•            CI/CD & GitOps Experience: Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions for build pipelines and ArgoCD for continuous deployment to Kubernetes.

•            Database & Messaging Knowledge: Familiarity with Cloud SQL (SQL Server engine) and managed Kafka platforms like Confluent Cloud, including Cluster and Schema Linking.

•            Observability Implementation: Proven ability to instrument applications and infrastructure with OpenTelemetry and configure collectors for multi-cloud visibility.

•            OpenShift Proficiency: Experience with Red Hat OpenShift (OCP/OSD), particularly in managing OVN-Kubernetes and EgressIP for hybrid connectivity.

Nice to Haves:

•            Azure Integration Knowledge: Familiarity with Azure core services (ExpressRoute, Entra ID, Azure SQL) to better facilitate "Primary-Peer" management models and cross-cloud troubleshooting.

•            High-Cardinality Analysis Tools: Familiarity with Honeycomb or Observe for advanced ad-hoc exploratory querying and root cause analysis.
