As a Google Cloud Platform Engineer at NCS, you will work hands-on, designing, building and maintaining infrastructure as code and applications built on Google Cloud.
In this position, your responsibilities will include designing, deploying, and supporting various Google Cloud Platform solutions and services such as Cloud Run, Google Kubernetes Engine, Google Cloud VMware Engine, and Compute Engine. Your experience should cover secure foundations/landing zone delivery, cloud migrations, and infrastructure as code with Terraform delivered via a GitOps methodology. A deep understanding of DevOps principles, platform delivery, and application/developer enablement is essential. You will also work with a wide range of applications and architectures, requiring a solid comprehension of APIs, software development practices, networking concepts, and security best practices.
You will work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery, provide ongoing support, and identify continuous improvement and optimisation opportunities. Excellent communication and problem-solving skills are a must, as is the ability to adapt to evolving requirements and technologies in the dynamic cloud landscape.
Most of all, we'll want you to have strong consulting skills, a customer-first attitude, a keen focus on secure software delivery, and a desire to add value both internally and externally.
Responsibilities:
Design, deploy, and maintain secure, scalable, and highly available Google Cloud Platform (GCP) solutions and services, including Cloud Run, GKE, Google Cloud VMware Engine, and Compute Engine.
Build and manage enterprise-level infrastructure as code (IaC) at an advanced level using Terraform, leveraging a GitOps methodology for platform delivery.
Architect and deliver secure foundations and landing zones to establish robust baselines for cloud workloads and facilitate seamless application migrations.
Implement and optimize end-to-end CI/CD pipelines to ensure automated, reliable, and secure software and platform delivery.
Develop automated scripts using Python or Bash to streamline platform management, enhance operational efficiency, and drive continuous improvement.
Design and manage secure cloud network architectures, including the configuration of Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), subnets, firewalls, load balancing, and DNS, while applying robust security threat mitigation techniques.
Enable developer productivity and application delivery by embedding DevOps principles, providing technical platform support, and abstracting infrastructure complexities.
Act as a technical consultant to collaborate closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring successful project delivery and high-value outcomes.
Provide ongoing platform support and optimization, identifying continuous improvement opportunities to adapt to evolving technologies in a dynamic cloud landscape.
