  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or a related role, with at least 3+ years in a technical leadership or mentoring capacity.
  • Expert-level proficiency with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) , including its core services, architecture patterns, and best practices.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (K8s) for container orchestration, including deployment strategies, scaling, networking, and management (preferably GKE).
  • Strong, demonstrable experience with Puppet/ Ansible for configuration management, automation, and infrastructure orchestration.
  • Proficiency with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), including module development, remote state management, and best practices.
  • Extensive experience with Jenkins, including pipeline-as-code (Jenkinsfile), plugin management, and integration with version control systems (Git).
  • Solid experience with containerization technologies (Docker).
  • Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, OpenTelemetry).
  • Proficient in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash, Go).
  • Solid understanding of networking, security principles, and cloud governance.
  • Proven ability to lead technical discussions, make architectural decisions, and drive projects to completion.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • GCP Professional DevOps Engineer, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Puppet Professional Certification, or other relevant industry certifications.
  • Experience with other configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef) in addition to Puppet.
