Job Title:- Security Engineer-Google Cloud Platform/Terraform
Location:- Brooklyn Park, Minnesota (2 days onsite)
Work Schedule: (if different from 8am-5pm) CST hours
W2 only
- We are trying to improve security in Google Cloud Platform. This role is all about moving the needle in the cloud security space. We do have some Azure and AWS, but it is 95% Google Cloud Platform.
- Candidates so far - resumes are good, but often the main issue is that they don't even know the basics of Google Cloud Platform. When we ask basic questions about how Google Cloud Platform works, they candidates don't know. We've also had a lot of issues with AI and reading answers. We also ask about Terraform knowledge and usually candidates are pretty good with that. Just overall, we need candidates that have very strong foundational knowledge of Google Cloud Platform.
- If they have been a DevOps engineer, or cloud engineer with Google Cloud Platform, we can make it work. The Google Cloud Platform foundational knowledge is most important; we can teach the security aspect.
- Open to more junior candidates that have genuine Google Cloud Platform knowledge. Adrien said that he has talked to people right out of college that have done projects that are well versed in Google Cloud Platform, and they would work out well.
