Role Summary
We are hiring a GCP Platform Engineer (L3) with real-world experience engineering and supporting production-grade data platforms on Google Cloud Platform.
This role requires a platform engineering mindset with deep expertise in GCP service configuration, runtime behaviour, monitoring, performance tuning, automation, and security compliance. The engineer will design, configure, operate, and troubleshoot GCP data platform services and act as the L3 escalation point for complex platform issues raised by development teams.
The ideal candidate understands how configuration parameters influence service behaviour, performance, cost, and reliability, and is comfortable debugging issues across distributed systems in live production environments.

What This Role Is NOT
To avoid confusion, this role is explicitly not the following:
Not an L1 / L2 Operations or Support role no ticket triage, alert acknowledgment, or routine support tasks.
Not a shift-based or NOC role no 247 rotations or follow-the-sun support.
Not a DevOps-only role
CI/CD is an enabler, not the primary responsibility.
Not a pure Data Engineer role focus is on platform engineering , not business data transformations.
Not a Cloud Administrator role requires deep understanding of service behaviour, not just provisioning.
Not a break-fix role expectation is to engineer permanent solutions, automation, and standards .

Pub/Sub (throughput, retention, delivery semantics)
GCS (IAM, lifecycle policies, CMEK, cross-project access)
Strong understanding of how configuration parameters impact performance, reliability, monitoring, and cost .
Engineering & Automation
Proven experience with
Terraform for IaC.
