Job Overview:
  
We are looking for a highly skilled DevOps Engineer to join our team and play a crucial role in the modernization and migration of currency applications and data within the bank environment using Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The primary objective of this role is to support the automation, continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and management of cloud-based infrastructure as part of the digital transformation of the bank.
As a DevOps Engineer, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline development and deployment processes, enhance platform performance, and ensure seamless migration of critical banking systems to GCP while maintaining security and compliance standards.
  
Key Responsibilities:
  

  • Cloud Infrastructure Management: Design, implement, and manage scalable and secure cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for modernized banking applications and data systems.
  • Automation & CI/CD Pipelines: Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment processes for currency applications and associated data in the cloud.
  • Deployment & Migration Support: Work with development teams to migrate legacy currency applications and data to GCP, ensuring smooth transitions and minimal disruption to banking operations.
  • Cloud-Native Technologies: Implement cloud-native tools and services such as Kubernetes, Docker, Cloud Functions, and GCP’s serverless offerings to support microservices-based application development and data processing.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Leverage tools like Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager, or Ansible to define and manage infrastructure resources in a repeatable, automated, and scalable manner.
  • Monitoring & Performance Optimization: Implement monitoring solutions (e.g., Stackdriver, Prometheus) to track performance, availability, and health of cloud infrastructure, and optimize resource utilization to improve cost efficiency.
  • Security & Compliance: Ensure the infrastructure and application deployments follow industry best practices for security, compliance, and regulatory requirements (e.g., PCI-DSS, GDPR) while working in the cloud environment.
  • Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams: Work closely with platform architects, developers, data engineers, and security teams to ensure all processes, systems, and workflows are aligned with the bank’s cloud modernization objectives.
  • Incident Management & Troubleshooting: Proactively identify and resolve infrastructure-related issues, ensuring high availability and reliability of cloud environments.
  • Documentation & Best Practices: Maintain comprehensive documentation for infrastructure designs, configurations, processes, and security measures, and share best practices for automation and DevOps workflows.
  
  
Required Qualifications:
  
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. Cloud certifications (e.g., Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer) are a plus.
  • Experience: Minimum of 4-6 years of experience in DevOps, with at least 2-3 years focused on managing cloud infrastructure, preferably on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • GCP Expertise: Hands-on experience with GCP services such as Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Functions.
  • CI/CD Tools: Strong experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Cloud Build to automate deployment and integration processes.
  • Automation & IaC: Proficiency with automation tools like Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager, or Ansible for infrastructure provisioning and management.
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration frameworks to build and deploy applications efficiently in the cloud.
  • Version Control: Proficiency in using Git for version control and collaborative development workflows.
  • Scripting & Programming: Strong scripting skills in languages such as Python, Bash, or Go to automate tasks and build custom solutions for cloud environments.
  • Security & Compliance: Familiarity with cloud security best practices, identity and access management (IAM), data encryption, and compliance standards (e.g., PCI-DSS, GDPR).
  • Problem-Solving & Troubleshooting: Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to resolve issues in a timely manner and ensure continuous operation of cloud services.
  
Desired Skills:
  
  • Experience in Banking/Financial Services: Familiarity with financial systems and currency applications within the banking industry is highly desirable.
  • Performance Tuning: Knowledge of cloud performance tuning and cost optimization strategies to ensure cloud resources are effectively utilized.
  • Collaboration Tools: Experience with collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, or Slack for team communication and project tracking.
  • Monitoring & Logging: Experience with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Stackdriver for infrastructure and application monitoring in the cloud.
  • Agile Methodology: Familiarity with agile development practices and the ability to work in fast-paced, iterative environments.
