Senior Cloud Infrastructure Architect (GCP & Platform Engineering)

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Architect to own the reliability, scalability, and security of a platform serving 3 million+ users. You will lead our migration toward a "Compliance as Code" environment, managing high-performance GKE clusters and a robust CI/CD ecosystem. This role requires a heavy focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and edge-layer security to ensure our Node.js backend remains resilient under heavy global demand.

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Architect and maintain production-grade GKE environments using Terraform, ensuring all cloud resources are version-controlled and reproducible.
• Edge & DNS Management: Manage Cloudflare configurations, including WAF rules, Load Balancing, Workers, and DDoS mitigation to protect global entry points.
• Automated Pipelines: Design and optimize CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and Travis CI to automate testing, security scanning, and blue-green deployments to GKE.
• Scaling & Data: Optimize MongoDB clusters for high-frequency transactions and sharding. Ensure the data layer scales horizontally alongside containerized services.
• Enterprise Security: Implement "Zero Trust" security within GKE and automate security headers and SSL/TLS management via Cloudflare.
• Node.js Integration: Collaborate with backend teams to optimize Node.js application performance within the cluster, focusing on resource limits, signal handling, and efficient database connection pooling.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 4–5 years of experience in cloud infrastructure and DevOps
• 4+ years of deep experience with GCP and Kubernetes (GKE)
• Google Professional Cloud Architect certification
• Strong expertise in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Travis CI)
• Proficiency with Cloudflare and edge security configurations
• MongoDB optimization and database scaling experience

Preferred Qualifications

• DevOps Engineer certification
• Experience with GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux)
• Knowledge of SOC 2 or HIPAA compliance auditing in a cloud environment
