Senior GCP Platform Engineer - Permanent

Context

We are building an enterprise-grade Agentic AI platform on Google Cloud Platform. The platform requires complex GKE configurations, VPC networking, and multi-project architecture. Currently, Nathan Booth is the sole infrastructure resource responsible for Dev, QA, and Production environments. Concurrent workstreams exceed single-person capacity, creating a high-risk gap in resources and skills (Risk R-005).

Missions

• Design and implement GCP infrastructure using Terraform, following infrastructure-as-code best practices
• Deploy and manage GKE clusters with multiple node pools, RBAC, and network policies
• Configure Shared VPC networking with proper subnet segmentation and firewall rules
• Implement Cloud SQL, Cloud Memorystore (Redis), and GCS for platform data services
• Integrate Secret Manager with Kubernetes via Secrets Store CSI Driver
• Configure Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Trace for baseline observability
• Support use case teams with infrastructure requirements and troubleshooting
• Participate in production environment support
