Role Summary

As an Embedded DevOps Engineer, you will work closely with a product development team and act as the key enabler for getting services production‑ready in GCP.

• Build, improve, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitOps principles and ensure teams follow standard guardrails.
• Develop and maintain application‑specific Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to deploy services (containers/VMs, secrets, load balancers, certs) using reusable platform components.
• Act as first responder for production incidents for the applications you support; drive operational concerns to closure in partnership with SRE/ROC and development teams.
• Improve operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and contributing to self‑service frameworks for developers.
• Identify gaps and drive improvements across reliability, scaling, automation, and cost optimisation for your product area.
• Partner with architects/platform teams to review architectures and ensure solutions meet cloud readiness / operational standards.
