DevOps Manager – Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Role Summary

We are looking for a DevOps Manager to own the reliability, observability, and cost efficiency of our applications on Google Cloud Platform. The role covers end-to-end responsibility for application usage monitoring, cloud cost management (FinOps), CI/CD pipeline setup and governance, centralized logging, and billing oversight. You will lead a team of DevOps/Cloud engineers and work closely with application development, security,

and infrastructure teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Application & Usage Monitoring

- Design and implement monitoring for application health, performance, and usage using

Google Cloud Monitoring, Prometheus/Grafana, or equivalent tools.
- Define and track SLIs/SLOs, uptime, latency, error rates, and capacity utilization across

environments.
- Build dashboards for application usage trends (API call volumes, transaction

throughput, active users) for engineering and business stakeholders.
- Set up proactive alerting (Cloud Monitoring alerts, PagerDuty/Opsgenie integration) and

drive reduction of alert noise.
- Conduct capacity planning and performance reviews based on usage data.

1. Cloud Cost Management & FinOps

- Own GCP cost visibility: set up cost dashboards by project, service, environment, and

team using GCP Billing reports, BigQuery billing export, and Looker Studio.
- Implement labeling/tagging standards for accurate cost attribution and

chargeback/showback.
- Identify and drive cost-optimization initiatives: rightsizing VMs/GKE nodes, committed

use discounts (CUDs), spot/preemptible instances, storage lifecycle policies, and idleresource cleanup.
- Set up budgets, alerts, and quotas to prevent cost overruns; publish monthly cost

review reports with variance analysis.
- Forecast cloud spend and support annual budgeting for cloud infrastructure.

1. CI/CD Setup & Governance

- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, GitLab

CI, or Jenkins, deploying to GKE, Cloud Run, App Engine, or Compute Engine.
- Standardize build, test,



security-scan, and deployment stages across teams

(SAST/DAST, container image scanning, artifact management via Artifact Registry).
- Implement deployment strategies: blue-green, canary, and rollback automation.
- Enforce Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) with code review and drift

detection.
- Manage workplace promotion workflows (Dev → QA → UAT → Prod) with appropriate

approvals and audit trails.
1. Logging & Observability Setup

- Architect centralized logging using Cloud Logging with log sinks, routing, retention

policies, and export to BigQuery/Cloud Storage for long-term analysis.
- Define structured logging standards for application teams and ensure adoption.
- Set up log-based metrics and alerts for security and operational events.
- Ensure log retention and access controls meet compliance and audit requirements.
- Integrate logs with SIEM tooling where required.

1. Billing Administration

- Administer GCP billing accounts, projects, and IAM around billing (Billing Admin/Viewer

roles).
- Reconcile monthly GCP invoices against usage; coordinate with Finance on accruals and

payments.
- Manage billing account hierarchy, project-to-billing mapping, and sub-account

structures for multiple business units.
- Liaise with Google/partner account teams on pricing, credits, CUD purchases, and

support plans.
1. Team Leadership & Governance

- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of DevOps/Cloud engineers; manage on-call rotations

and incident response processes.
- Define runbooks, SOPs, and DR/backup procedures; drive post-incident reviews (RCA)

with corrective actions.
- Partner with Security/InfoSec on IAM hygiene, VPC/network controls, and audit





readiness.
- Report DevOps KPIs (deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate, cost

per transaction) to leadership. Required Skills & Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.
- 4+ years of hands-on GCP experience: GKE, Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Build,

Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, IAM, VPC, and BigQuery (billing export/analysis).
- Strong experience with CI/CD tooling (Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub

Actions) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/GKE).
- Proven track record in cloud cost optimization / FinOps practices on GCP.
- Infrastructure as Code expertise — Terraform strongly preferred.
- Scripting proficiency: Python, Bash, or Go.
- Experience setting up centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting at scale.
- Experience managing GCP billing accounts and working with Finance teams.
- 2+ years leading or mentoring a DevOps/SRE team.

Preferred / Good to Have
- GCP certifications: Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, Professional Cloud Architect, or

FinOps Certified Practitioner.
- Experience in regulated environments (BFSI/GovTech) with audit, compliance, and

data-residency requirements.
- Exposure to multi-cloud or hybrid setups.
- Familiarity with service mesh (Istio/Anthos Service Mesh), secrets management (Secret

Manager/Vault), and policy-as-code (OPA).
- Experience with SIEM integration and security monitoring.

Key Performance Indicators (First 12 Months)
- 99.9%+ availability against defined SLOs for critical applications.
- 15–20% reduction in GCP spend through optimization initiatives (baseline-dependent).
- CI/CD pipelines standardized across all active product teams with < 1 day lead time for

changes.
- Centralized logging live for all production workloads with compliant retention.
- Monthly cost and usage reporting operational with < 5% unexplained invoice variance.

Pay: ₹1,500,000.00 - ₹2,000,000.00 per year
