• Multi-cloud architecture experience
• Modern DevOps practices and monitoring tools

Communication:

• Advanced English (written and verbal)
• Client-facing presentations and demos
• Technical documentation

Experience

• 5+ years in cloud engineering, DevOps, or solution architecture roles
• 2+ years hands-on with GCP (GCE, GKE, Vertex AI, etc.) + AWS experience is a strong plus
• 2+ years with Terraform for GCP - reusable modules, automation, standardization
• 2+ years with Kubernetes (GKE preferred) and Docker - production clusters, security
• 2+ years Python programming - APIs (FastAPI/Flask), GenAI applications
• GenAI/ML workloads (strong plus) - LLM apps, RAG systems, GPU/TPU compute
