Reports To: CTO
DevOps / Cloud Engineer
Position Summary
We are seeking a skilled DevOps / Systems Administrator to help maintain, secure, and evolve our cloud infrastructure in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This role supports two core application environments:
- Legacy platform: PHP application running on virtual machines with Apache and MySQL
- Modern platform: JavaScript / FHIR-based application using PostgreSQL and Kubernetes
This position is responsible for infrastructure reliability, security, performance, operational maturity, and effective collaboration with internal development teams and external infrastructure service partners. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across traditional VM-based environments and modern containerized cloud-native systems, with a strong security mindset and a practical approach to availability, maintainability, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
Cloud Infrastructure and Operations
- Administer, maintain, and improve GCP-based infrastructure for both legacy and modern application stacks
- Manage compute, networking, storage, IAM, secrets, logging, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery capabilities
- Maintain and optimize VM-based application environments, including Apache, PHP, MySQL, Linux systems, and supporting services
- Support and operate Kubernetes-based environments for modern applications, including cluster health, deployments, scaling, ingress, observability, and platform stability
- Maintain CI/CD and operational workflows that support reliable application delivery across environments
- Monitor system health, performance, availability, and capacity, and proactively address risks and bottlenecks
- Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and remediation planning
Security and Compliance
- Help design, implement, and enforce security best practices across infrastructure, platforms, and operational processes
- Harden systems and services, manage patching processes, and reduce infrastructure risk exposure
- Maintain secure IAM, access controls, secrets handling, certificate management, and network segmentation
- Partner with development teams and service providers to improve secure deployment patterns and operational controls
- Support audit, compliance, vulnerability remediation, logging, and evidence-gathering processes as needed
- Continuously evaluate infrastructure and application architecture for security improvements
Collaboration and Platform Support
- Work closely with software development teams to support application delivery, troubleshooting, performance, and operational readiness
- Serve as a bridge between engineering, operations, security, and external infrastructure partners
- Coordinate with third-party service providers, cloud partners, and infrastructure vendors on implementation, troubleshooting, and operational improvements
- Contribute to infrastructure standards, documentation, runbooks, and operational processes
- Help guide architecture decisions with a focus on reliability, security, scalability, and supportability
Required Qualifications
- Strong hands-on experience administering production systems in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Experience supporting Linux-based web application environments
- Strong experience with one or more of the following:
- Apache / PHP / MySQL on VMs
- Kubernetes-based application platforms
- PostgreSQL administration in application environments
- Experience with cloud networking, firewalls, IAM, service accounts, DNS, TLS/certificates, load balancing, and backup/recovery
