Job Summary
We are looking for a GCP/GKE Architect to own the design and evolution of our cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform, with a strong focus on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). This role blends broad cloud architecture responsibility — compute, storage, networking, security, and cost — with hands-on ownership of how our containerized workloads are deployed, scaled, and operated in production. You will set the technical direction for our cloud footprint and act as the go-to authority for platform reliability, security, and scalability.
Key Responsibilities
Cloud Architecture (GCP)
• Design and own the overall GCP architecture — compute, storage, networking (VPCs), IAM, and security across environments.
• Select and integrate GCP services (Cloud SQL, Spanner, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, etc.) based on workload needs.
• Define multi-region, backup, and disaster recovery strategies for high availability.
• Own cost optimization and capacity planning across the cloud footprint.
Kubernetes / GKE
• Architect and manage GKE cluster topology — cluster sizing, node pools,



namespaces, and workplace segregation (dev/stage/prod).
• Design for auto-scaling, high availability, and graceful failure recovery of containerized workloads.
• Own networking and security within clusters — firewalls, RBAC, secrets management, and access controls.
Delivery & Operations
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated, zero-downtime deployments.
• Set up observability — monitoring, logging, and alerting — to ensure rapid detection and resolution of issues.
• Establish infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform or equivalent) for repeatable, auditable environments.
Leadership & Collaboration
• Define architecture standards and best practices for engineering teams building on GKE.
• Mentor engineers on cloud-native and container best practices; lead design/architecture reviews.
• Partner with product, delivery, and security stakeholders to align infrastructure decisi
