Miejsce pracy: Gdańsk

Your responsibilities

Your main responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

* Set the engineering direction for GCP infrastructure and AI platform capabilities while staying hands-on in the design, build, and validation of core platform patterns.

* Spend a significant part of your time in hands-on engineering, including Terraform, CI/CD, GCP configuration, troubleshooting, and production-readiness improvements.

* Lead by example with hands-on engineering work across GCP infrastructure, platform automation, CI/CD, provisioning, and reusable infrastructure-as-code patterns.

* Design, mature and operate secure GCP platform foundations, including organization and project structure, landing-zone patterns, identity provider integration, IAM, networking, observability, logging, and policy guardrails.

* Build reusable Terraform modules and platform patterns that enable teams to provision reliable GCP environments with clear standards for access, networking, secrets, monitoring, cost, and lifecycle management.

* Drive pragmatic adoption of GCP data and AI platform services, with a focus on Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, and related services, ensuring they can be used safely in a banking-grade environment.

* Coach engineers through hands-on collaboration, code reviews, design reviews, and practical delivery of reusable platform patterns.

* Collaborate with product owners, data scientists, architects, cybersecurity, and governance teams to align technical decisions with business priorities and regulatory expectations.

* Own and communicate the technical roadmap for GCP infrastructure and platform capabilities, balancing speed, scalability, cost, compliance, and operational reliability.

* Translate technical complexity into clear recommendations, decision points, and status updates for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Our requirements

Key skills required for this role:

* GCP infrastructure foundations: Strong hands-on experience with GCP organization, folders and projects, landing-zone patterns, Shared VPC, Cloud NAT, firewall policies, private connectivity, and environment isolation.

* Identity, access and security: Expert understanding of IAM design, least-privilege access, federation, workload identity, service accounts, secrets management, key management, and policy guardrails in enterprise environments.

* Infrastructure as Code: Excellent Terraform skills, including modular design, reusable patterns, testing, versioning, state management, and promotion across environments.

* Platform automation and CI/CD: Ability to build reliable platform pipelines for provisioning, validation, deployment, policy checks, release management, and operational lifecycle management.

* Data and AI platform services: Practical knowledge of GCP services relevant to data and AI platforms, especially Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Cloud Composer, and related integration patterns.

* Observability and operations: Experience with Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, alerting, SLOs, incident response, resilience patterns, cost controls, and production-readiness practices.

* Hands-on technical leadership: Ability to set technical direction while contributing hands-on, coaching engineers, defining standards, documenting reusable patterns, and communicating complex platform decisions clearly to stakeholders.

Who you are

This is the right role for you if you:

* Are a GCP platform expert: You have proven experience designing, building, and operating production-grade platform capabilities on Google Cloud Platform.

* Are engineering-driven: You treat infrastructure as software and are highly comfortable with Terraform, automation, CI/CD, and modern DevOps practices.

* Understand secure foundations: You have expert-level knowledge of infrastructure, provisioning, identity provider integration, IAM, access control, networking, and platform security patterns.

* Lead by doing: You combine deep technical expertise with hands-on delivery, practical guidance, and the ability to raise engineering quality across the team.

* Stay ahead of the curve: You have a genuine interest in AI platforms, generative AI, and agentic workflows, and you know how to adopt new capabilities pragmatically and safely.

What we're looking for:

Education and experience:

* A BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Security, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

* 10+ years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or similar technical leadership roles.

* Documented experience providing hands-on technical leadership and setting engineering direction in complex technology environments.

Required qualifications:

* Expert-level knowledge of GCP infrastructure, provisioning, automation, and Infrastructure as Code, with Terraform as an essential skill.

* Strong experience with GCP services and ecosystems relevant to data and AI platforms, such as Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Composer, Cloud Run, GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Monitoring.

* Strong understanding of IdP integration, IAM, federation, workload identity, secrets management, and secure access patterns in enterprise environments.

* Experience building production-grade CI/CD pipelines, observability, and operational controls for platforms.

* Ability to evaluate trade-offs between speed, cost, scalability, resilience, and compliance.

* Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain platform decisions, document technical patterns, and act as a hands-on subject matter expert for GCP infrastructure and Cloud AI Platforms.
