Role Overview

This role focuses on configuring and deploying software in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments, with a primary emphasis on YAML-based configuration, infrastructure-as-code tooling, and cloud-native integrations. The consultant will work within implementation teams to deliver solutions for customers, translating requirements into properly structured platform configurations rather than custom code.

Responsibilities

Implementation & Configuration

• Configure software deployments using YAML-based configuration files across GCP environments (Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, etc.)
• Translate customer requirements into platform-level configurations, avoiding custom development where native configuration suffices
• Build and maintain integration configurations between GCP services and third-party systems using declarative tooling
• Manage environment-specific configuration files across dev, staging, and production using version-controlled YAML
• Troubleshoot deployment issues, configuration drift, and service connectivity problems in GCP

Project & Team Collaboration

• Work as part of an implementation team including a team lead, developers, QA, and business analysts to deliver against project plans
• Participate in customer and partner interactions throughout the project lifecycle — requirements gathering, sprint reviews, UAT, live cutover, and transition support
• Serve as a point of contact for support teams handling delivery issues escalated from customers
• Train and guide newly onboarded consultants on configuration patterns, GCP tooling, and environment management best practices
• Collaborate effectively with teams across US and India time zones

Experience & Skills Required

GCP & Cloud Platform

• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform services: Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, and VPC networking
• Strong proficiency writing and managing YAML configuration files — Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, Cloud Build pipelines, and service definitions
• Experience with GCP IAM, service accounts, and least-privilege access configuration
• Familiarity with GCP Deployment Manager or Terraform for infrastructure-as-code configuration
• Understanding of GCP networking concepts: load balancers, ingress controllers, DNS, and private service connectivity

DevOps & Configuration Tooling

• Proficiency with Git and GitHub for version control of configuration files, including branching strategies and pull request workflows
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, or similar) for automated configuration deployment
• Familiarity with container images and Dockerfile basics; experience deploying containerized applications to GKE or Cloud Run
• Experience with environment management tooling such as Kustomize or Helm for managing configuration variants across environments

General Skills

• Strong business analysis skills, including requirements gathering and translating functional needs into platform configurations
• Excellent attention to detail — configuration errors have direct production impact, and precision is critical
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with both business and technical stakeholders
• Ability to read and interpret API documentation, product release notes, and vendor configuration guides
• 5+ years of experience in technical implementation, DevOps, platform engineering, or a related configuration-focused role
• Experience in the banking or financial services domain is preferred but not required
