● Implement and configure GCP environments (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage with retention policies,
VPC networking) for centralized security applications
● Build and maintain virtualized on-premises and cloud-hosted infrastructure
● Deploy high-availability mechanisms, failover, clustering and load-balancing and validating
redundancy behavior after implementation.
● Author and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and Ansible; contribute to orchestration
and configuration management via Puppet, Git, PowerShell
● Automate routine provisioning and sustainment tasks through Python and Bash scripting to reduce
manual effort and configuration drift.
● Provision and administer infrastructure IAM across operating systems, enforcing least-privilege and
least-service models.
● Configure tiered storage and database resources in line with retention, uptime and auditability
requirements.
● Provide implementation-tier support for escalations from operations and sustainment teams, escalating
design-level issues to L3 with detailed handover notes.
● Produce and maintain runbooks, configuration records and Technical Design Documentation (TDD)
artifacts
Required Qualifications & Skills

● Practical Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform and Ansible (mandatory); scripting in
Python, Bash and PowerShell; familiarity with Puppet and Git.
● Linux and Windows enterprise OS administration; virtualization (VMware / Hyper-V); Dell iDRAC
and DellOME for hardware management.
● Ability to provision IAM across OS and cloud (Active Directory, Google IAM, RBAC) under least-
privilege enforcement.
● Clear technical documentation skills (runbooks and TDD contributions); willingness to work business
hours with on-call escalation in a global support model.
● Certifications — Required: GCP Professional Cloud Architect or GCP Associate Cloud Engineer).
Beneficial: HashiCorp Terraform Associate, Red Hat RHCE, ITIL Foundation.
Tools Required
● Cloud & Environment: GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, VPC, IAM) for building and
sustaining centralized security-application infrastructure.
