(Locaiton requirement : Philippine, Singaipore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Tailand, Vietnam, Indonesia)
We are looking for an experienced Senior DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to help us build, maintain, and improve a production cloud platform.

The ideal engineer has strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes/GKE, Terraform, CI/CD, cloud networking, monitoring, and production troubleshooting.

This is not a basic deployment or server-maintenance role. We need someone who is comfortable taking ownership of production infrastructure, investigating difficult issues, improving reliability, and automating repetitive engineering work.

## What You’ll Work On

You will help us:

*Manage and improve production infrastructure on GCP
* Operate and troubleshoot Kubernetes / GKE clusters
* Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform
* Develop reusable Terraform modules
* Improve CI/CD and deployment automation
* Work with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Google Cloud Build, or similar tools
* Automate infrastructure tasks using Python, Go, Bash, or Shell
* Configure and troubleshoot cloud networking
* Manage VPCs, firewalls, DNS, routing, load balancers, and WAFs
* Improve monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability
* Investigate production incidents and identify root causes
* Improve system reliability, scalability, and performance
* Optimize cloud infrastructure costs
* Improve IAM, secrets management, and infrastructure security
* Secure Docker and Kubernetes workloads
* Work closely with software and security engineers
* Improve developer tooling and deployment workflows

## Required Skills

You should have solid production experience with most of the following:

* Google Cloud Platform
* Kubernetes
* GKE
* Terraform
* Docker
* Linux
* CI/CD
* GitHub Actions
* Jenkins or Google Cloud Build
* Python, Go, Bash, or Shell scripting
* VPC networking
* Firewalls
* Load balancers
* DNS
* IAM
* Secrets management
* Monitoring and logging
* Production incident response
* Root-cause analysis

We strongly prefer engineers who have personally managed production infrastructure rather than only worked with these technologies in development or testing environments.

## Nice to Have

Experience with any of these is a plus:

* AWS
* Azure
* Ansible
* Chef
* Puppet
* Helm
* ArgoCD
* Prometheus
* Grafana
* Google Cloud Monitoring
* Google Cloud Logging
* Cloud cost optimization
* Kubernetes security
* Container security
* GCP Organization Policies
* VPC Service Controls
* Access Context Manager
* Binary Authorization

Google Cloud certifications are also a plus.

## Who We’re Looking For

We would like to work with someone who:

* Has around **5+ years of DevOps, SRE, Cloud, Platform, or Infrastructure Engineering experience**
* Can work independently
* Has strong troubleshooting skills
* Understands distributed systems and cloud architecture
* Can diagnose production problems under pressure
* Writes maintainable infrastructure code
* Looks for opportunities to automate manual processes
* Understands both reliability and security
* Communicates clearly with developers and technical teams

## Working Arrangement

* Remote
* Freelance / Contract
* Senior-level position
* Long-term collaboration possible
* working-hour with the U.S. Eastern Time zone is required

There may also be participation in an infrastructure support/on-call rotation.

## How to Apply

Please send us:

* Your DevOps / SRE experience
* Years of experience with GCP
* Your Terraform experience
* Your Kubernetes/GKE experience
* CI/CD tools you have worked with
* Programming or scripting languages you use
* A short example of a difficult production infrastructure problem you solved
* Your availability

Monthly rate : 1200 USD ~ 1600 USD
Period : Long term project
Please also mention **“GCP + Terraform”** at the beginning of your proposal so we know you reviewed the requirements.

We are specifically looking for a senior engineer with real production experience who can contribute from the beginning rather than someone who is still learning the core technologies.
