Ensure full regulatory compliance by embedding data residency, business continuity, and disaster recovery requirements into all infrastructure designs and operations.

Drive operational excellence through proactive monitoring, capacity planning, incident response, and service reliability engineering (SRE).

Automate and optimize infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), cost governance, and performance tuning to achieve efficiency and scalability.

Deep proficiency in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — VPC, IAM, GKE, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Cloud Monitoring — with proven ability to scale infrastructure for millions of users and high-volume, low-latency transactions.

Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi), CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps toolchains (GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD).

Strong knowledge of network architecture, load balancing, VPNs, firewalls, private interconnects, zero-trust security models, identity management, and encryption standards.

Proven track record implementing multi-region high availability, disaster recovery, and data residency-compliant architectures.

Expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and orchestration of cloud-native workloads.

Solid experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Stackdriver) to ensure reliability and performance.

Experience managing cloud cost governance, capacity planning, and performance tuning for efficiency and scalability.

Strong grounding in ISO 27001, SAMA Cybersecurity Framework, and other regulatory requirements.

Proven ability in incident management, root cause analysis, post-mortems, and embedding operational best practices across teams.

Desirable skills:
