This service provides insights into company data, advanced analytics solutions, robust data governance, and tailored solutions for specific data challenges. Responsibilities • Infrastructure Build and Deployment • Provision and administer Kubernetes clusters across AKS, GKE/GKS, and on-premises platforms • Deploy Apigee Hybrid runtime components (Message Processor, Synchronizer, MART, Cassandra, etc.) on target Kubernetes environments • Deploy Akamai Noname remote engines and connectors on AKS, GKS, and on-premises environments • Establish and validate secure, outbound-only control plane connectivity from Hybrid runtimes to the centralized GCP Control Plane • Configure Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, Private Link) and GCP networking to support multi-cloud traffic flows • Author and maintain Terraform/Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules for repeatable, auditable deployments across all target environments • Integration and Observability • Integrate Apigee Hybrid and Akamai telemetry with enterprise observability platforms • Integrate security event data with enterprise SIEM platforms • Implement asynchronous, non-blocking telemetry patterns to avoid performance impact on runtime traffic • Support integration with enterprise CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and configuration changes • Operational Support and Stabilization • Support production readiness reviews, stabilization, and go-live activities aligned to Akamai milestone dependencies • Participate in incident response, runtime upgrades, and capacity management during transitional operations • Monitor and maintain multi-cloud infrastructure health across GCP, Azure, and on-premises • Knowledge Transfer and Documentation • Produce comprehensive technical documentation: runbooks, SOPs, architecture diagrams, and points-of-contact references • Participate in on-call and joint operational support during transition • Governance and Collaboration • Navigate client governance, change management, and approval processes for infrastructure changes • Collaborate with the external Apigee Hybrid implementation partner during joint delivery activities • Coordinate with Akamai implementation teams to ensure infrastructure readiness gates are met on schedule Qualifications • Education and Experience • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, related field, or equivalent 5+ years of experience • 5+ years of hands-on experience programming in SQL • 3+ years of experience building and maintaining automated data pipelines and data assets using batch and/or streaming processes null • Technical Skills • Kubernetes and Container Orchestration • 3+ years hands-on experience administering Kubernetes clusters (AKS required; GKE/GKS and on-premises Kubernetes strongly preferred) • Experience with node pool management, namespace isolation, resource quotas, RBAC, and cluster upgrades • Familiarity with Helm charts, Kubernetes operators, and custom resource definitions (CRDs) used in platform-level product deployments • Multi-Cloud Infrastructure (GCP and Azure) • Hands-on experience administering Google Cloud Platform environments (Cloud SQL, BigQuery, IAM, networking) • Hands-on experience administering Azure cloud environments — specifically Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, Private Link), and Azure IAM/RBAC • Multi-cloud infrastructure experience — ability to manage parallel environments across GCP and Azure with consistent IaC patterns and governance • Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD • Proficiency with Terraform or equivalent IaC tooling for multi-cloud deployments • Experience with CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Cloud Build) • API Gateway and Edge Platforms • Experience with or exposure to Apigee Hybrid architecture — understanding of the split between centralized control plane (GCP-hosted) and customer-managed Hybrid runtimes • Understanding of outbound-only control plane connectivity models and the networking requirements to support them • Experience with or understanding of edge platform integration (Akamai preferred; Cloudflare or similar acceptable) — specifically edge routing, DDoS protection, and WAF enforcement • Familiarity with Akamai connector/remote engine deployment models and how edge security layers interact with downstream API gateways • Understanding of traffic flow architecture where edge platforms are authoritative entry points and API gateways enforce policy only • Observability, Telemetry, and Security • Experience integrating infrastructure and application telemetry with enterprise observability platforms • Experience integrating with SIEM platforms for security event correlation • Understanding of asynchronous, non-blocking telemetry patterns • Understanding of security fundamentals, access provisioning, and Zero-Trust security principles • Soft Skills/Other Competencies • Enables others: Navigate complex access processes and clears paths for the team • Self-directed problem solving: Identify the right contacts and required approvals • Milestone-driven delivery mindset: Comfortable working within tight, dependency-driven timelines where infrastructure readiness gates downstream partner deliverables • Cross-environment operational awareness: Ability to manage and troubleshoot infrastructure spanning cloud (GCP, Azure) and on-premises environments simultaneously • Platform exploration: Stay current on GCP/Azure evolution; evaluate new services and capabilities • Automation mindset: Seek to reduce manual configuration and approval friction • Proactively identify bottlenecks in environment setup and propose solutions • Produce technical documentation (runbooks, procedures, points of contact) for completed infrastructure • Bring awareness of new platform capabilities that could accelerate delivery • Take initiative to streamline repetitive access/provisioning tasks • Edge-to-gateway security architecture awareness: Understand that security enforcement is layered — edge handles routing/DDoS/WAF while the API gateway handles API-level policy — and can configure infrastructure to support this separation • Partner engagement skills: Able to work effectively alongside an external implementation partner, including joint troubleshooting, shared environments, and coordinated change management • Knowledge transfer readiness: Willingness and ability to participate in a shadow → lead → own model as both learner and teacher • Ability to clearly document and explain proposed changes to navigate governance and approval processes Preferred Qualifications • Prior experience working in healthcare or similarly regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2) • Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect or Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification • Microsoft Azure AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) or AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect) certification • Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) • Experience with Apigee Hybrid installation, configuration, and operations • Experience deploying or managing Akamai Noname (API security) remote engines • Familiarity with GitOps patterns (ArgoCD, Flux) for Kubernetes-based deployments • Experience with Anthos, Rancher, or OpenShift for on-premises Kubernetes The salary range for this role is $100,000 to $145,000 or the hourly equivalent.
