• Experience automating Apigee X and GCP configuration using Terraform and APIs
• CI/CD experience using GitHub, Harness, Jenkins, Cloud Build or similar
• Good understanding of GCP networking, DNS, IAM, service accounts, TLS and private connectivity

This is a hands-on senior consulting role where you'll be expected to take ownership of technical outcomes rather than simply provide architectural guidance.

You'll need to be comfortable getting into the detail, solving complex API and connectivity problems and leaving behind robust, repeatable solutions.
