- Architect scalable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure on GCP
- Manage IAM roles, service accounts, and permissions following least-privilege principles
- Optimize cloud spend through resource right-sizing and monitoring
CI/CD & Application Deployment
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar) for Blazor (Server/WebAssembly) applications
- Automate build, test, and deployment workflows for .NET/Blazor front-end and back-end services
- Implement blue-green or canary deployment strategies for zero-downtime releases
- Manage environment configurations across dev, staging, and production
Monitoring & Observability
- Set up and manage Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and alerting policies
- Create dashboards to track application health, latency, error rates, and resource utilization
- Implement proactive alerting and incident response workflows
- Conduct root cause analysis for production incidents and outages
Database Management
- Manage and maintain cloud databases (Cloud SQL, Firestore, or similar) including backups, scaling, and performance tuning
- Implement database migration strategies and version control for schema changes
- Monitor database performance and optimize queries/indexes as needed
- Ensure data security, encryption, and compliance with backup/retention policies
Front-End & Networking Support
- Support deployment and hosting of front-end applications (Blazor WASM, static assets, CDN configuration)
- Configure and manage DNS records, domain mapping, and SSL/TLS certificates
- Work with load balancers, Cloud CDN, and networking components (VPC, firewall rules)
- Troubleshoot front-end deployment and connectivity issues
End-to-End Testing & Quality Automation
- Set up, host, and maintain end-to-end testing frameworks such as Playwright within CI/CD pipelines
- Integrate automated E2E test runs into build/release workflows to gate deployments
- Manage test infrastructure (headless browser environments, test runners, reporting dashboards) in the cloud
- Collaborate with QA/dev teams to ensure test suites run reliably across environments (dev, staging, production)
- Monitor and troubleshoot flaky tests, test execution performance, and reporting pipelines
Collaboration & Best Practices
- Partner with development teams to embed DevOps practices into the SDLC
- Maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Deployment Manager, or similar)
- Document architecture, runbooks, and standard operating procedures
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident management as needed
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in a DevOps/Cloud Engineer role, with significant hands-on GCP experience
- Strong working knowledge of Cloud Run and container-based deployments (Docker)
- Proven experience configuring Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and alerting
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines specifically for .NET/Blazor applications
- Experience managing cloud databases (Cloud SQL – PostgreSQL/MySQL, or Firestore)
- Familiarity with front-end deployment workflows and static asset hosting
- Practical experience configuring DNS, domain management, and SSL certificates
- Scripting skills (Bash, PowerShell, or Python) for automation
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
- Understanding of networking concepts: VPC, load balancing, firewalls, CDN
- Familiarity with Git and version control workflows
- Experience hosting and maintaining end-to-end testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright) integrated into CI/CD pipelines
Nice to Have
- GCP certification (Associate Cloud Engineer / Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer)
- Experience with Kubernetes (GKE)
- Knowledge of security best practices (secret management, vulnerability scanning)
- Exposure to .NET/C# development for better collaboration with dev teams
- Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments
Soft Skills
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting mindset
- Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
- Collaborative approach to cross-functional teamwork
