Job description
From Urban Connect’s job post, as they wrote it.
Job Location: hybrid in Bucharest
Recruitment process:
* HR discussion
* Technical interview X 2
Role description:
* Be one of the founding engineers of our new GCP DevOps Platform, working closely with the Lead Platform Engineer to shape the technical foundation from day one.
* Design, build, and operate GKE-based Kubernetes environments that host SAP integrations, e-commerce workloads, and internal applications.
Read the full description
* Develop reusable Terraform modules and Crossplane compositions that become the golden paths for application teams.
* Implement the baseline platform services: networking, IAM, Secret Manager, container registry, observability, and CI/CD building blocks for application pipelines.
* Integrate platform capabilities into our Backstage developer portal so that application teams can self-serve cluster namespaces, secrets, and deployment pipelines.
* Establish operational excellence practices: SLOs, alerting, runbooks, and a sensible on-call model for platform components.
* Contribute to technical standards, code review culture, and architecture decision records across the hybrid platform team in Bucharest and Ulm.
Profile:
* Several years of hands-on experience as a Platform Engineer, Cloud Engineer, or SRE building and running production platforms on Google Cloud Platform — or strong equivalent AWS/Azure experience with a credible path to GCP.
* Deep, practical expertise with Kubernetes (GKE preferred), including networking, workload identity, autoscaling, multi-tenancy, and day-2 operations.
* Strong Terraform skills — module design, state management, CI/CD-driven workflows — and ideally experience with Crossplane, Config Connector, Cluster-API, or comparable approaches.
* Solid command of core GCP building blocks: VPC, IAM, Cloud Storage, Secret
Manager, Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Artifact Registry.
* Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI preferred; GitHub Actions, Argo CD, or Tekton equivalent) and with packaging applications via containers and Helm.
* Working knowledge of observability stacks (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) and a clear instinct for what to measure on a platform layer vs. application layer. A security-aware engineering style: least-privilege IAM, secret hygiene, image scanning, and an understanding of GDPR-relevant data flows in a European multi- country setup.
* A pragmatic Platform-as-a-Product mindset — you treat developers as customers and prefer golden paths over one-off heroics.
* Familiarity with hybrid cloud topologies is a plus; bonus for exposure to event-driven integration patterns and SAP integration landscapes.
* Fluent English required; German or Romanian is a plus.
