Domain: Healthcare

Experience: 8–11+ Years

Location: Anywhere / Remote

Level: Lead / Architect

Key Responsibilities

- Lead and manage GCP infrastructure administration and operations across enterprise environments.
- Provide technical leadership and guidance to teams working with GCP resources.
- Design, implement, configure, and manage GCP infrastructure based on business and technical requirements.
- Administer and troubleshoot Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, VPC, IAM, networking, and related GCP services.
- Define and enforce GCP infrastructure, security, access control, and operational best practices.
- Manage GCP environments, projects, organizations, folders, service accounts, and resource hierarchy.
- Work closely with application, infrastructure, security, and engineering teams to resolve GCP-related issues.
- Monitor cloud environments and proactively identify performance, availability, capacity, and security issues.
- Support cloud security, compliance, governance, and audit requirements within the GCP environment.
- Use Terraform / Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for infrastructure provisioning and configuration management.
- Provide technical direction to team members and ensure adherence to GCP administration standards.
- Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, access, compute, and storage issues.
- Support cloud migration, infrastructure modernization, and GCP adoption initiatives.
- Participate in incident management, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement activities.
- Work with CI/CD and engineering teams where required to support deployment and infrastructure automation.

Required Technical Skills

Google Cloud Platform – Mandatory

Strong hands-on experience with:

- Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Administration
- Compute Engine
- Cloud Storage




- VPC & GCP Networking
- Subnets, routes, firewall rules, load balancing, and connectivity
- IAM & Security
- Service Accounts, roles, permissions, and access management
- GCP resource hierarchy – Organization, Folders, Projects
- Cloud resource provisioning and administration
- GCP monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting

Infrastructure as Code
- Strong experience with Terraform
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles
- Terraform modules, variables, state management, and remote state
- Infrastructure provisioning and configuration automation

Linux / Unix Administration
- Valuable knowledge of Linux/Unix system administration
- Server configuration and troubleshooting
- Process, memory, CPU, disk, and network troubleshooting
- Shell commands and basic scripting
- System monitoring and log analysis

Cloud Security & Compliance
- GCP security best practices
- IAM and least-privilege access
- Service account security
- Network security and firewall management
- Encryption and secure configuration
- Cloud governance and compliance controls
- Understanding of enterprise security and audit requirements

Monitoring & Logging Experience with GCP monitoring and logging capabilities, including:
- Cloud Monitoring
- Cloud Logging
- Alerting and dashboards
- Log analysis and troubleshooting
- Performance and availability monitoring
- Incident investigation and root-cause analysis

Containers & Kubernetes Basic to working knowledge of:
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

The role does not require a pure Kubernetes/DevOps specialist, but candidates should understand containerized workloads and GKE administration concepts.

CI/CD

- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines
- Understanding of automated build, deployment, and infrastructure processes
- Exposure to tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or similar is desirable.

Leadership & Architecture Skills The successful candidate should be able to:
- Act as a GCP technical lead / SME for the organization.
- Guide and mentor engineers working with GCP.
- Review GCP infrastructure designs and provide technical recommendations.




- Establish GCP administration standards and best practices.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex GCP infrastructure issues.
- Coordinate with multiple technical teams and stakeholders.
- Translate business requirements into scalable and secure GCP infrastructure solutions.
- Drive operational excellence, reliability, security, and cost optimization across GCP environments.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience working in Healthcare / Healthcare IT environments.
- Experience with enterprise-scale GCP environments.
- Knowledge of GCP AI/ML services or Vertex AI is a plus.
- Experience with cloud migration and modernization projects.
- Exposure to GCP organization-level governance and landing zones.
- Experience with cloud cost optimization and resource governance.

Note: GCP AI / Vertex AI experience is considered a plus but is not mandatory. The primary requirement is strong, hands-on GCP administration and infrastructure expertise.

Important Client Requirement The client is specifically looking for a candidate with thorough working experience in GCP administration who can independently manage GCP resources and drive a team working with GCP.

This is not a DevOps-focused position where the candidate has only worked with GCP as part of a broader DevOps role. Candidates should demonstrate strong knowledge of actual GCP administration, including compute, storage, networking, IAM, security, monitoring, troubleshooting, and infrastructure management.

Candidates with a strong GCP Administrator / GCP Infrastructure / GCP Cloud Engineer / GCP Architect background are preferred.

A DevOps background may be considered only when accompanied by deep, hands-on GCP administration experience.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Must Have:

- 8–11+ years of overall IT experience
- Strong hands-on GCP administration experience
- Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, VPC, Networking, and IAM
- Terraform / IaC
- Linux/Unix administration
- Cloud security and compliance
- Monitoring and logging
- Ability to lead/guide GCP technical teams
- Strong troubleshooting and administration skills
- Immediate joiner preferred

Good to Have:

- Healthcare domain experience
- GKE / Kubernetes / Docker
- CI/CD
- Vertex AI / GCP AI services
- Enterprise cloud architecture and governance

Key Focus of the Role

GCP Administration + Technical Leadership + Infrastructure Management The candidate should be a strong GCP Administrator/SME who can lead and guide the team, rather than a DevOps engineer who has only secondary exposure to GCP.
