Job Responsibilities
Cloud Architecture & Deployment
Design and Implement Solutions: Design and deploy highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable solutions using core GCP services (e.g., Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Storage, and Cloud SQL).
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate the provisioning and management of cloud infrastructure using tools like Terraform or Cloud Deployment Manager to ensure consistency and repeatability.
Cloud Migration: Lead or assist in the planning and execution of migrating on-premises workloads, data, and applications to the Google Cloud Platform.
Security & Compliance
Identity and Access Management (IAM): Configure and manage IAM roles and policies to enforce the principle of least privilege across all GCP resources.

Data Protection: Ensure data is secured at rest and in transit using encryption and follow compliance standards relevant to the organization.
Operations & Optimization (DevOps/SRE Practices)
Automation & CI/CD: Develop and maintain Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines using tools like Cloud Build, Jenkins, or Spinnaker to accelerate software deployment onto GCP.
Monitoring and Logging: Set up and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting using Google Cloud operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and system failures.
Cost Management: Continuously analyze resource utilization and implement strategies for cost optimization and efficiency, leveraging rightsizing and managed services.
Disaster Recovery: Develop and implement disaster recovery and business continuity plans, including data backup and failover mechanisms.
