A fast-growing HealthTech company is seeking a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to own and evolve its GCP-based infrastructure. You will help build and secure scalable platforms that support AI-driven medical data processing, ensuring reliability, compliance, and operational excellence in a regulated environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Infrastructure as Code: Build and manage GCP projects and resources using Terraform (GKE, VPC, IAM, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, Artifact Registry).

  • Kubernetes: Operate hardened GKE clusters with RBAC, network policies, and secure deployment practices.

  • Security & Compliance: Implement least-privilege IAM, secret rotation, encryption, audit logging, and support HIPAA-like / FDA-style controls.

  • Access Management: Provision/deprovision accounts, manage IAM & RBAC permissions, maintain audit trails, and support access reviews.

  • Observability: Deploy and manage Prometheus/Grafana plus Cloud Monitoring integrations for metrics, alerting, and logging.

  • Reliability & Incident Response: Own runbooks, backups/DR testing, and post-mortem processes.

  • Cost & Performance Optimisation: Tune autoscaling, BigQuery usage, Cloud Functions performance, and resource spend.

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years in DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineering within production GCP environments

  • Strong experience with Terraform and GKE

  • Hands-on with Cloud Functions (Python)

  • Skilled in GCP IAM, Kubernetes RBAC, and audit logging

  • Experience in regulated or high-security environments (e.g., healthcare, fintech, SOC2, ISO, HIPAA-style)

  • Strong GitLab CI/CD experience

  • Proficiency in Python scripting/automation

  • Familiarity with Prometheus/Grafana/Cloud Monitoring

Nice to Have
