  • Lead the deployment and lifecycle management of critical cloud resources (e.g., compute, storage, networking, security services) ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.
  • Rigorously evaluate and strategically recommend cutting-edge cloud technologies and services, continuously optimizing solutions for maximum cost-effectiveness, reliability, security, and performance.
  • Serve as a principal subject matter expert, providing authoritative guidance and pioneering best practices on cloud architecture design, advanced security protocols, significant cost optimization, deep performance tuning, and overall operational excellence.
  • Commandingly lead technical discussions and deliver compelling presentations to both highly technical and executive-level non-technical audiences.
  • Create and meticulously maintain comprehensive, detailed architecture diagrams and documentation for all cloud solutions.
  • Proactively stay current with the latest advancements in cloud technologies and industry trends, particularly within the dynamic GCP ecosystem, and expertly apply systems design thinking to integrated, holistic solutions.
  • Diagnose and rapidly resolve complex technical issues related to cloud infrastructure, applications, and services.
  • Provide strong technical leadership and strategic mentorship to cloud engineering and operations teams, cultivating a high-performance, collaborative, and innovative culture.
  • Define, plan, execute, and monitor cloud-related projects with precision, utilizing project management tools like Jira, to ensure timely delivery, adherence to budget, and exceptional quality standards.
  • Qualifications Required

  • Solid understanding and hands-on experience with GCP IAM, security policies, network security (VPCs, firewalls), and data protection.
  • Demonstrated ability to design for security, resilience, and scalability.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment with engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders.
