GCP DevOps Engineer

The Cloud Operations and Automation Team within EPEO at Ford Business Solutions, India, is seeking a talented and passionate Cloud DevOps Engineer with a strong foundation in Python, Go-Lang, or other programming languages. The ideal candidate should have experience in GCP Cloud Operations. Responsibilities will include deploying and managing Cloud resources using Terraform or Ansible for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and providing support by addressing and resolving customer queries. This also involves troubleshooting and resolving Tekton/Jenkins pipeline issues and providing 12/7 on-call support (12-hour coverage, 7 days a week) on a rotational basis. The role requires automating manual tasks, which encompasses designing and implementing solutions, constructing backend APIs, handling integrations, managing databases, and setting up server infrastructure. The engineer should be a team player, collaborating with developers from conception through to the final product stage. We're looking for someone who is excited to learn and contribute to our dynamic team.

YOUR TYPICAL DAY HERE WOULD BE:

• Designing, deploying, and managing cloud resources across GCP, with a primary focus on GCP.
• Developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform or Ansible to ensure consistent and repeatable deployments.
• Automating manual operational tasks through scripting and/or the development of backend APIs, system integrations, and database solutions.
• Supporting and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Tekton, Jenkins), identifying and resolving issues to ensure smooth software delivery.
• Deploying and managing Python applications on cloud platforms like GCP leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.
• Providing technical support to GCP users and internal customers, resolving queries to ensure operational stability.
• Participating in a rotational on-call schedule (e.g., supporting 12-hour windows as part of a 7-day team rotation) to address critical operational issues and provide production support for critical applications and services.
• Contributing to the design and implementation of robust, scalable, and secure cloud solutions.
• Collaborating effectively with development teams, designers, and other stakeholders throughout the entire product lifecycle, from conception to deployment and ongoing operations.
• Writing and maintaining clear and concise documentation for infrastructure, codebase, API specifications, usage guides, and deployment procedures.
• Writing and maintaining multiple layers of tests, potentially following principles like the testing pyramid.
• Actively participating in team discussions, sharing knowledge, and contributing to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU ALSO BRING:

• Experience in or understanding of our target industry sectors (e.g., automotive, mobility).
• Experience optimizing AWS/GCP resources and setting up multi-cloud infrastructure.
• Functional programming experience.
