Required Experience & Qualifications - 5-8 years of experience in software development, cloud consulting, application architecture, or cloud engineering. - Experience designing and implementing solutions on Google Cloud Platform. - Experience building shared platform services, onboarding templates, and repeatable patterns for multiple application teams. - Strong Infrastructure-as-Code discipline, including modular Terraform design, versioning, release controls, and environment promotion. - Enterprise CI/CD delivery experience, including gated deployments, validation workflows, artifact/module release processes, and deployment evidence. - Experience working within formal change-management and ITSM processes, including controlled promotion to staging and production environments. - Security-first engineering mindset, including IAM, API key controls, usage restrictions, vulnerability considerations, and audit-ready documentation. - Familiarity with enterprise cloud governance, naming conventions, environment structures, access controls, and standard operating procedures. - Ability to work with architecture, security, networking, mobile engineering, marketing/product, and operations stakeholders. - Experience designing or supporting Day 2 operations, including support models, intake processes, runbooks, monitoring, alerts, and recurring maintenance activities. - Comfort working in regulated environments where documentation, traceability, approvals, and operational handoff are essential. - Ability to explain technical decisions clearly and support review by client architects, cloud governance teams, and operational stakeholders. - Strong written communication, including detailed implementation notes, module documentation, planning artifacts, and ticket-level updates. - Ability to stabilize Terraform modules and operational processes after initial DEV delivery and before staging/production promotion.
