About The Position

NTT DATA is seeking a DevOps Architect with GCP experience to join its team remotely in the United States. The role calls for architect-level experience designing secure, scalable CI/CD patterns across application portfolios. The architect will define pipeline standards, security gates, promotion and rollback strategies, reusable templates, artifact controls, exception handling, and operational support models—not just build or troubleshoot individual pipelines.

Requirements

• At least 10 years of professional experience in DevOps, cloud engineering, platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, software engineering, systems engineering, networking, or a related technical field.
• At least 5 years of experience designing, implementing, and supporting CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps (ADO), Jenkins, Git, and YAML.
• At least 3 years of experience deploying and supporting solutions within Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• At least 3 years of experience implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform.
• At least 3 years of experience developing automation solutions using Python.
• At least 1 year of experience using AI-enabled development tools to develop, test, troubleshoot, or optimize code and automation solutions.

Nice To Haves

• Experience designing enterprise-scale CI/CD architectures, including pipeline standards, security gates, artifact management, promotion strategies, rollback processes, and reusable deployment templates.
• Experience establishing DevOps governance, operational support models, and release management best practices across multiple application teams.
• Experience designing secure and scalable GCP architectures involving IAM, networking, service accounts, workload deployment, logging, monitoring, and environment isolation.
• Experience integrating DevSecOps controls into software delivery pipelines, including SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, image scanning, and infrastructure security scanning.
• Experience defining vulnerability management and risk remediation processes, including risk acceptance, exception handling, reporting, and escalation procedures.
• Experience creating reusable Terraform modules and managing IaC deployments across multiple environments.
• Experience developing and supporting automation solutions using Python, Bash, PowerShell, and Ansible.
• Experience integrating automation and scripting solutions into Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar CI/CD platforms.
• Experience leading root cause analysis and resolving complex issues spanning application, cloud, infrastructure, networking, identity, and security domains.
• Experience creating technical standards, reference architectures, design documentation, and implementation guidance for engineering teams.
• Experience leading technical reviews and collaborating with application, infrastructure, cloud, and security teams to deliver enterprise solutions.
• Experience supporting production environments, incident management, change management, and operational readiness processes.
• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve software development, automation, troubleshooting, and engineering productivity.
