Focuses on GCP and OCI, with strong practical GCP expertise supporting an ongoing production migration.
Works alongside the Infrastructure Engineering Manager for Developer Experience, who owns non-production environments, CI/CD, and developer tooling.
Production platforms and reliability
- Own production infrastructure architecture, engineering, operations, and continuous improvement across GCP and OCI.
- Lead production migration to GCP and design highly available, scalable, resilient, secure platforms.
- Set standards for compute, networking, storage, IAM, cloud-native services, and consistent cross-cloud patterns.
- Own production Kubernetes and supporting capabilities, including ingress, service networking, service mesh, monitoring, and logging.
- Establish SRE practices, SLIs, SLOs, operational metrics, availability, capacity management, and production resilience.
- Lead complex incident troubleshooting, rigorous root-cause analysis, permanent corrective actions, and operational toil reduction.
Infrastructure engineering and AI
- Build automation and self-service capabilities; apply Infrastructure as Code practices using Terraform, reusable modules, validation, and controlled changes.
- Use source control, pull requests, peer review, testing, and automated deployment for infrastructure repositories, with Bitbucket as the core workflow.
- Use Claude Code and MCP to understand repositories, develop and review infrastructure code, investigate problems, and automate workflows.
- Apply AI to monitoring, optimization, incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and Terraform development, validation, and review.
- Define human validation and approval requirements and use AI safely around production systems, credentials, and sensitive operational data.
Services, security, and team leadership
- Oversee databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, Redis caching, messaging and middleware, Kubernetes services, networking, IAM, secrets, observability, backup, and recovery.
- Own IAM, network security, segmentation, secrets management, and infrastructure hardening; partner with Security Engineering on vulnerabilities and production risks.
- Lead, mentor, and grow Infrastructure and SRE engineers; guide architecture, review solutions, and join complex troubleshooting.
- Build engineering ownership, promote automation, and coach engineers on Claude Code, MCP, and AI-assisted workflows.
- Partner with Product Engineering, Security, and other teams on platform strategy; set standards and support documentation and knowledge sharing.
Experience and technical requirements
- At least 10 years of experience in infrastructure, cloud, platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE, including at least 3 years leading relevant teams.
- Proven experience operating production-grade, highly available cloud environments and leading a major infrastructure migration or platform transformation.
- Strong hands-on production Kubernetes and significant Terraform and Infrastructure as Code experience.
- Substantial hands-on GCP production workload experience and hands-on experience operating OCI and GCP.
- Strong understanding of networking, IAM, security, observability, and production operations.
- Daily hands-on Claude Code use, practical MCP experience, and proven AI-assisted engineering beyond chat-style prompting.
- Experience using AI across large repositories, for IaC review and troubleshooting, and for production incident investigation.
- Strong judgment validating AI-generated code and keeping humans involved in critical decisions.
- Strong Git and Bitbucket practices; knowledge of Helm, Kubernetes Operators, service mesh, Linux, CI/CD, GitOps, incidents, high availability, and disaster recovery.
- GCP professional certifications, other AI coding tools, MCP integrations, and telecommunications, CPaaS, or messaging experience are listed as additional relevant experience.
