GCP (Jenkins, Kafka) Developer

About the job:

Build and scale modern cloud-native solutions that keep data moving reliably and securely. In this role, you’ll work hands-on with Google Cloud Platform to design and deliver robust pipelines and services, leveraging Kafka for high-throughput streaming and Jenkins to automate build, test, and release workflows. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, platform teams, and stakeholders to turn ideas into production-ready capabilities—improving performance, resilience, and developer experience along the way. If you enjoy solving real-world engineering challenges, streamlining delivery through CI/CD, and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement, this opportunity offers the right mix of ownership, learning, and impact. You’ll also get room to explore practical AI enablement where it adds value, while staying grounded in strong engineering fundamentals and team-first execution.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

Cloud & Application Delivery (GCP)

• Design, develop, and deploy solutions on GCP aligned to scalability, security, and reliability expectations for 3–5 years experience level.

CI/CD Automation (Jenkins)

• Create and enhance Jenkins pipelines for build, test, quality gates, and deployments across multiple environments.
• Automate release processes, improve pipeline performance, and enforce consistent standards (branching, versioning, approvals).
• Integrate CI/CD with artifact repositories, code quality tools, and deployment targets to enable continuous delivery.

Collaboration & Quality

• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and sprint ceremonies; contribute to clean, maintainable, well-documented code.
• Support incident triage and root-cause analysis; implement preventive fixes and continuous improvements.
• Work with cross-functional teams to translate requirements into technical designs and deliverables.

AI Enablement (as applicable)

• Contribute to AI-related integrations or enablement tasks (e.g., data flow readiness, service integration) where relevant to the platform.

Technical requirements

Minimum Qualifications:

• Education: BE, ME, BTECH, MTECH, MCA, MSC, MBA.
• 3–5 years of experience in software development and cloud delivery with strong hands-on exposure to GCP.
• Solid working experience with Kafka for event streaming and messaging patterns.
• Proven experience building and maintaining Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for automated build and deployment workflows.
