Senior Cloud Infrastructure Architect (GCP & Platform Engineering) at Odixcity Consulting

Role Overview


We are looking for a Senior Cloud Architect to own the reliability, scalability, and security of a platform serving 3 million+ users.
You will lead our migration toward a "Compliance as Code" environment, managing high-performance GKE clusters and a robust CI/CD ecosystem.
This role requires a heavy focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and edge-layer security to ensure our Node.js backend remains resilient under heavy global demand.


Key Responsibilities


Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Architect and maintain production-grade GKE environments using Terraform, ensuring all cloud resources are version-controlled and reproducible.
Edge & DNS Management: Manage Cloudflare configurations, including WAF rules, Load Balancing, Workers, and DDoS mitigation to protect our global entry points.
Automated Pipelines: Design and optimize CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and Travis CI to automate testing, security scanning, and blue-green deployments to GKE.
Scaling & Data: Optimize MongoDB clusters for high-frequency transactions and sharding. Ensure the data layer scales horizontally alongside our containerized services.
Enterprise Security: Implement "Zero Trust" security within GKE and automate security headers and SSL/TLS management via Cloudflare.
Node.js Integration: Collaborate with backend teams to optimize Node.js application performance within the cluster, focusing on resource limits, signal handling, and efficient database connection pooling.


Preferred Qualifications


Must have a minimum of 4 - 5 years of experience.
Must have google professional architect cloud certificate.
Devops Engineer certification is a plus.
Experience with GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux).
Knowledge of SOC 2 or HIPAA compliance auditing in a cloud environment.


Technical Requirements (The "Must-Haves"):


GCP & Kubernetes: 4+ years of deep experience with GKE, VPC peering, and IAM.
Terraform Mastery: Proven ability to manage complex environments using Terraform (Modules, State Management, and Workspaces).
Edge Networking: Hands-on experience with Cloudflare for traffic steering and security.
CI/CD Expert: Proficiency in building and maintaining pipelines in GitHub Actions and Travis CI.
MongoDB at Scale: Experience with sharding, replica sets, and performance tuning for millions of users.
Software Engineering: Strong proficiency in JavaScript/Node.js. You should be able to contribute to architectural discussions regarding code-level performance.
