• Engineer Cloud Infrastructure: Design and configure scalable backend architectures on GCP, utilizing Cloud Run, GKE, and Cloud Functions with a focus on performance and observability.
• Own Technical Design: Author Technical Design Documents (TDDs) that translate business needs into executable backend blueprints using modern cloud-native patterns.
• Deploy & Automate: Manage the full lifecycle of your code, from local development to production, leveraging Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and robust CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate Globally: Work closely with US-based product owners and European delivery teams, requiring a proactive communication style and flexibility for early-morning syncs.
• Ensure Quality: Champion best practices in API design, security, and automated testing to ensure the reliability of enterprise-level deployments.

• GCP Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform services, specifically App Engine, Cloud Run, Vertex AI, BigQuery, and Cloud SQL.
• AI/ML Integration: Proven experience integrating LLMs into applications and an understanding of vector databases (e.g., Vertex Vector Search, Pinecone).
• DevOps Skills: Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
• Communication: Fluent English skills with the ability to discuss technical trade-offs clearly with both peers and stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• AI Frameworks: Experience with LangChain or LlamaIndex.
• Data Engineering: Understanding of data pipelines and ETL processes to support AI model training and retrieval.
