Production deployment support and new project/build support

Role Summary

The DevOps Engineer will support day-to-day production operations and provide DevOps enablement for new project builds within a GCP environment. This role balances steady-state production support (deployments, monitoring, incident response) with project-based work (setting up new environments, pipelines, and infrastructure for new initiatives).

Key Responsibilities

      Provide production deployment support — plan, schedule, execute, and validate releases with minimal downtime.

      Support new project onboarding by setting up GCP environments, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure from scratch.

      Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar) for build, test, and deployment automation.

      Manage GCP infrastructure components: GKE (Kubernetes), Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, VPC networking, and IAM.

      Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / Deployment Manager) for repeatable, version-controlled environment provisioning.

      Monitor production systems using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Prometheus/Grafana; configure alerts and dashboards.

      Participate in incident response and troubleshooting — root cause analysis, hotfix deployment, and post-incident documentation.

      Manage containerization and orchestration (Docker, GKE) including scaling, upgrades, and configuration management.

      Implement and enforce security best practices: IAM policies, secrets management, network security, and compliance guardrails.

      Collaborate with development, QA, and product teams to align release schedules and environment needs.

      Maintain runbooks, deployment guides, and architecture/process documentation.

      Support on-call rotation for production issues as needed.

Required Skills & Experience

      5–7 years of hands-on DevOps/Cloud Engineering experience, with demonstrable GCP expertise.

      Salesforce Experience is a PLUS

 

      Strong working knowledge of core GCP services: GKE, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud Build, Cloud Functions, VPC, IAM, Cloud Monitoring/Logging.

      Experience with CI/CD tooling (Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or Spinnaker).

      Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred; Deployment Manager a plus).

      Solid scripting ability in Python and/or Bash/Shell.

      Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE).

      Working knowledge of Git and branching strategies.

      Understanding of networking fundamentals (VPC, load balancing, DNS, firewall rules).

      Familiarity with monitoring/observability tools (Cloud Operations Suite, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).

      Exposure to security/compliance practices in cloud environments (IAM least-privilege, secrets management).

Desired / Good to Have

      GCP certification (Associate Cloud Engineer or Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer).

      Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid environments.

      Exposure to Agile/Scrum delivery practices.
