Senior DevOps Engineer

About Ghanem

The Role

Engineering Environment

• Google Cloud Platform, GKE, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Helm, and Kustomize.
• Services use Java and Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Redis.
• Operational investigation uses Google Cloud logging and monitoring, gcloud, and kubectl, alongside application telemetry.

What You Will Do

• Operate and improve GCP and GKE environments across production, staging, and internal services, including networking, ingress, TLS, workload configuration, and scaling.
• Maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform and GitOps with Argo CD, Helm, and Kustomize, keeping changes reproducible, reviewable, and recoverable.
• Improve GitHub Actions pipelines for backend services, web applications, and mobile releases, including build runners, artifact management, quality gates, and deployment automation.
• Design safe release and rollback procedures, and coordinate application changes, database migrations, configuration, and post-deployment validation.
• Build actionable monitoring and alerting for availability, latency, errors, and capacity, and investigate incidents using Google Cloud tools, structured logs, and Kubernetes diagnostics.
• Strengthen IAM, Workload Identity, secret management, access controls, and environment isolation, and support security reviews and evidence collection.
• Own backup and recovery procedures with service owners, validate restores, and maintain practical incident and disaster recovery runbooks.
• Improve cost efficiency and capacity planning without compromising reliability, remove manual operational work, and help engineers diagnose platform problems.

What Success Looks Like

What You Will Bring

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability engineering, with hands-on responsibility for production systems.
• Strong GCP and Kubernetes experience, including GKE, IAM, networking, Workload Identity, storage, and service exposure.
• Practical Terraform experience, including modular configuration, state management, drift investigation, and controlled changes.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines and operating GitOps delivery with tools such as GitHub Actions and Argo CD.
• Strong Linux, container, and network troubleshooting skills, plus scripting ability in Bash, Python, or an equivalent language.
• Experience with cloud observability, incident response, backups, recovery testing, and operating database-dependent applications.
• Ability to explain operational risk, document procedures, and work with engineers to resolve failures across service boundaries.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting fintech or other environments with sensitive data and strict reliability and audit requirements.
• Experience with Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, Redis, Google Secret Manager, External Secrets, and Workload Identity Federation.
• Experience with self-hosted GitHub Actions runners, Flutter build and release pipelines, mobile signing, or OpenTelemetry.
