Description
GCP DevOps Engineer - REMOTE
We are seeking a GCP (Google Cloud) Database Engineer with Terraform and experience of various database platforms to join the Google Cloud database enablement team at JP Morgan on an initial 6 months contract. You will be working with customers, database product teams and cloud platform teams to provide public cloud guidance, solution architecture and implementation of new features common across multiple public cloud database products. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and experience of databases is key as well as terraform.
You will be helping to package up GCP database services to make them available for JP Morgan Chase applications to consume rather than building applications using GCP services.
Role Description
The Platform Services group is responsible for defining, developing and operating cloud products consumed by our Application Development Partners across the firm. Our Product Portfolio includes Private and Public Cloud Platforms and a wide range of services such as databases, messaging and telemetry.
As a GCP DevOps Engineer you will work as part of the public cloud database enablement team within the database service engineering organization. Service Engineering delivers self-service database products on our internally hosted (private cloud) and external hosted (public cloud) platforms. These products provide JPMC developers access to easily consumable databases for their applications to utilize.
The public cloud database enablement team builds and supports capabilities that span multiple cloud database products eg automation for backups, patching, monitoring. This team works with all of the database product teams, providing public cloud guidance, solution architecture and implementation of new features common across multiple cloud products.
Key Responsibilities of the Role
This role has three key responsibilities:
- Meet with application teams to understand their requirements and advise on the most appropriate solutions.
- Partner with the database product teams. Each product (eg MongoDB, MySQL, Postgres etc.) has its own team of experts in that particular product. With your expertise in the public cloud platforms and their product expertise you will work together to enable public cloud offerings for JPMC developers to use to build their applications.
- Collaborate with the core foundational service team. Each public cloud platform (eg AWS and Google) has a JPMC team that makes the core platform capabilities available (eg network, access control, compute and storage). You will be responsible for helping to ensure the capabilities they provide meet the requirements of the database product teams and work with them to implement database product specific features.
Required Skills and Qualifications
- Experience of deploying, configuring and supporting Google Cloud products and services, in particular the database products.
- Experience of working with Terraform, ideally Terraform Enterprise.
- Development skills in a dynamic programming language, ideally Python.
- Knowledge of IT infrastructure, with a background in databases systems and public cloud platforms.
- Strong critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate with others and bring teams together to successfully implement changes.
