Your expertise in GCP will be critical as you deploy and maintain cloud infrastructure, ensuring scalability and performance meet our growing business needs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Infrastructure Maintenance: Ensure high availability of our production environments through proactive system maintenance, issue resolution, and continuous improvement of our infrastructure.
  • Capacity Planning: Develop and implement capacity management strategies to scale efficiently as client demand grows.
  • Service Level Agreements: Monitor and ensure adherence to SLAs, providing timely reports and communication with clients on any operational changes or API adjustments.
  • Deployment and Security: Take full responsibility for GCP-based build deployments from DEV through to PROD environments, ensuring smooth transitions and data security throughout.

Incident Management & Help Desk Escalation:

  • Act as a point of escalation for internal and external help desk issues, swiftly resolving or triaging inquiries to maintain smooth operations.
  • Lead incident response efforts, conducting thorough root cause analysis and implementing preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
  • Assist in the management of internal IT infrastructure, supporting physical and cloud-based setups.

Policies & Process Development:

  • Develop, document, and continuously refine IT operations policies to ensure operational efficiency, reliability, and compliance.
  • Oversee vendor contracts, ensuring third-party services align with our standards and operational requirements.
  • Use Atlassian Jira & Confluence to maintain clear documentation of processes, incident reports, and continuous improvements.

Requirements:

We're looking for someone with:

Education & Certifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
  • Google Cloud Certifications (e.g., Google Cloud Certified – Professional Cloud Architect) are required.
  • Proficiency in English is essential, and German is an asset.

Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience in IT operations, with significant expertise in managing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments.
  • Experience in financial services or other highly regulated industries is a plus.
  • Proven ability to independently manage cloud-based infrastructures, deploying and scaling production systems.

Technical Skills:

  • Expertise in Google Cloud Platform services, architecture, and Google Workspace Administration.
  • Proficient in managing Kubernetes deployments and Kubernetes manifest files.
  • Strong knowledge of TLS, MTLS, and x509 certificates to ensure secure communications.
  • Solid in scripting languages like Python, Bash, TypeScript; experience with Go is a bonus.
  • Hands-on experience with Prometheus, Grafana for system monitoring, and Jenkins for CI/CD.
  • Skilled in infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or Pulumi.
  • Familiar with SQL databases, especially Postgres, and log analysis for troubleshooting.

Soft Skills:

  • Proactive, self-motivated, and always eager to stay ahead of the curve in new technologies and best practices.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical abilities, able to think critically under pressure.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Independent worker who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments while managing multiple tasks effectively.
  • A focus on quality and continuous improvement, ensuring all systems operate at peak performance.

Why Choose Us?

  • Be part of an innovative team working with cutting-edge Google Cloud technologies.
  • Autonomy and ownership over critical infrastructure that directly impacts business growth.
  • A collaborative and fast-paced environment that values creativity, innovation, and continuous learning.
  • Opportunity to develop and implement scalable solutions that shape the future of IT operations.
