• Observability & Monitoring: Build and maintain comprehensive monitoring frameworks using Google Cloud Observability (formerly Stackdriver). Define SLIs/SLOs, configure proactive alerting, and utilize Cloud Trace and Cloud Logging to ensure 24/7 system health.

• Agile Execution: Operate as a key member of a cross-functional team using Agile methodologies. Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives to ensure iterative delivery of high-quality infrastructure.

• Project Management: Utilize Jira to track progress, manage the architectural backlog, and document technical user stories and tasks.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate environment provisioning using Terraform or Ansible.

• Optimization: Continuously monitor and tune resources for performance and cost-efficiency using the GCP Well-Architected Framework.

• Required Skills & Experience

  Technical Expertise: Deep proficiency in core GCP services (Networking, IAM, Cloud SQL, etc.).

  Monitoring Focus: Proven experience with monitoring tools (Cloud Monitoring, Prometheus, or Grafana) to visualize system performance and troubleshoot bottlenecks.

• Process Mastery: Strong background working in Agile/Scrum environments with a deep understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

• Tooling: High proficiency in Jira for task management and workflow tracking.

• Certifications: Google Professional Cloud Architect certification is highly preferred.

  Preferred Qualifications (The "Extra" Bit)

Nice-to-have skills:

• Multi-Cloud Knowledge: Proficiency with AWS is a significant plus, particularly for hybrid or multi-cloud environment management.
