Implement and manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes (GKE) clusters across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, ensuring production safety through automated patching and upgrades.
Develop and maintain self-service PaaS features that abstract infrastructure complexity, providing reliable and performant access to specialized hardware like GPUs.
Implement and optimize high-throughput ingress patterns and service mesh (Istio) configurations to support distributed AV data and ML workloads.
Take ownership of complex cloud initiatives from design through deployment, identifying technical gaps and proactively implementing robust solutions.
Eliminate "human duct tape" by replacing manual cloud-management tasks with declarative state-enforcement (Terraform/GitOps) and custom automation.
Define and monitor SLIs/SLOs for cloud services, ensuring the platform meets the availability targets required for Super Cruise validation.
Proactively share technical lessons learned and participate in rigorous code and architecture reviews to support a healthy, high-trust engineering culture.

Requirements
