About the role
The project is moving everything towards GCP and Kubernetes. We’re growing towards a scale that no longer matches our legacy architecture and actively investing in modernization. We’re migrating on-premise workloads to GKE, strengthening security and business continuity best practices, and moving toward platform self-service for our development teams. A core goal is to consolidate and shrink the stack and every migration decision is measured against whether it lowers the daily burden on the team.
