About our team:
Your task as part of our "Google Cloud Landing Zone" Team is to build and maintain cloud infrastructure, specifically the Google Cloud Landing Zone to be used by the applications of Deutsche Telekom. In the future we want to add sovereign controls, because privacy workload is expected to run on google cloud.
A Landing Zone is a set of standard building blocks (services, processes, etc.) that allows you to automatically create projects, infrastructure and environments that are preconfigured in line with security and privacy policies, compliance guidelines and cloud native best practices.
As platform developers, we strive to build and maintain a solid platform that can be used to build a variety of applications or products. We use a holistic approach to build a scalable, reliable, performance and cost optimized and flexible foundation.
Thereby we simplify the work of other software engineers that move their application to the cloud and inspire the development of new solutions with modern technologies, IT platforms, DevOps solutions and tools. We drive self-service and automation, encourage the use of modern engineering practices, and educate agile teams on best practices in GCP.
The team creates and “operates” a Landing Zone on a hyperscaler Cloud platform. For this, we need all Dev, Ops, Network, Security etc skills in the team, but we do not have single persons with a dedicated role. All team members need at least basic skills of each function and should be open for contributing to an on-call capability.
Tasks
- Design and implement a highly reliable and scalable cloud platform, with a focus on Google cloud platform
- Develop and maintain policies, standards, and guidelines to ensure that a consistent framework is applied across the company
- Interest for security topics and design landing zone in accordance with company security and privacy guidelines.
- Configure networking infrastructure components
- Build automated deployments using infrastructure-as-code technology
- Monitor network components, self-provisioning service (application), policy violations by the customer, suspicious activity which may be security relevant etc.
- Use modern engineering principles such as infrastructure-as-code
- Automate IT-processes on the Google Cloud landing zone (Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Test automation, Self-Services) and conduct administration- and configuration tasks independently
- Operate & maintain the platform in terms of availability, stability, and performance by choosing the suitable infrastructure architecture. Operations include sustainable incident response and periodic on call duties
Responsibilities
- Work with agile mindset and according to agile methodology with close collaboration within the team, but also with other teams in the hub and Deutsche Telekom as well as software engineers using the cloud platform.
- Approach work with a DevOps and continuous improvement mindset
- Maintain current technical knowledge making recommendations as needed to help the team, hub and company excel.
Required Skills:
- Hands-on experience designing, developing, deploying and operating one of the cloud platforms: GCP, AWS or Azure, ideally as multi-tenant solution
- Experience in running production workloads on a hyperscaler
- Additional plus is one of the following trainings and certifications:
- Google Associate Cloud Engineer or Cloud Architect
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions Architect – Associate
- Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals
- previous experience with at least 3 of the following on intermediate level:
- Configuration management with Terraform
- Databases (SQL, NoSQL/Firestone, Cache)
- Networks (networking and internet protocols, network design, load balancing, troubleshooting, DNS, routing, VPN, distributed networks and how to integrate networks with cloud services)
- Containerization with Google Kubernetes Engine or Cloud Run or Container-Optimized OS
- Monitoring for automated system health checks using tools like Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) & Cloudprober
- platform security & policies: Technical/IT security
- experience with a modern language such as Java, Python, Golang or Node.js, including object-oriented design and cloud solution design patterns (microservices, messaging, distributed caching, containers, IAM etc.)
- Version controlling, code merging & Ci/ CD workflows and tools with git/ gitlab, Google Cloud Source & Google Cloud Build
- BSc in computer science (or related) or comparable qualification
- English language proficiency, as the team and hub language is English
- You are curious and interested in the latest technologies, especially in cloud, agile methods, and DevOps
- You are willing to enter unknown territory, to make mistakes and to learn from them together
- You have fun with varied topics in an interdisciplinary team and are characterized by a high intrinsic motivation
- You can present and communicate ideas e.g. about architecture in a visual form
- for implementing a landing zone for applications with a higher privacy and security level, it is necessary to get a "VSnfD approval"
