The ideal candidate will combine deep GCP service expertise with proven FinOps and billing optimization skills. Candidates should have experience implementing cost governance frameworks, building billing dashboards, and achieving measurable cloud cost reductions. Holding a GCP certification is required; however, this does not substitute for hands-on production experience, which will be evaluated rigorously.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architect, deploy, and operate scalable, secure, multi-region GCP infrastructure for production workloads.
- Lead GCP cloud strategy including resource hierarchy (org/folder/project), VPC design, Shared VPC, IAM governance, and service account lifecycle.
- Deploy and manage GKE (Autopilot & Standard), Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Compute Engine workloads.
- Own FinOps practice: implement and operate cloud cost governance, budget alerting, right-sizing recommendations, and committed use discount/sustained use discount purchasing.
- Build and maintain Terraform modules for all GCP infrastructure – from networking and compute to data services and security controls.
- Design multi-region and multi-zone architectures for disaster recovery, latency optimization, and data residency compliance.
- Produce monthly cloud cost reports and trend analyses for engineering leadership and finance, presenting optimization roadmaps.
- Implement and operate GCP security controls: VPC Service Controls, Cloud Armor WAF, Security Command Center, CMEK, and Binary Authorization.
- Define and enforce resource labeling/tagging standards for accurate cost attribution, chargeback, and showback reporting.
- Mentor engineers on GCP best practices and contribute to cloud governance documentation and internal platform tooling.
