• Support event-driven and messaging architectures.

• Act as an escalation point for platform-level issues.

• Partner with security and compliance stakeholders.

• Enable application teams with stable, scalable platform capabilities.

• Deep understanding of GCP (Org, Folders, Projects, IAM, Networking, Compute, Storage).

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and tooling.

• Experience operating production GCP environments.

• Strong troubleshooting skills.

• Python for automation and tooling.
