GCP Security Ops Engineer

Location: Remote
Start date: ASAP
Languages: English (required)

About the Role

Pragmatike is hiring on behalf of a fast-growing, product-driven AI technology company operating large-scale, cloud-native infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform. The platform is security-critical, highly automated, and designed to support real-time, data-intensive workloads in production environments with strict reliability and compliance requirements.

The engineering organization is lean, senior, and execution-focused. Security is treated as a first-class engineering problem, not a compliance checkbox.

We are looking for a GCP Security Operations Engineer to strengthen day-to-day cloud security operations, hardening, and vulnerability management across production systems. This role is hands-on and close to infrastructure, ideal for engineers who enjoy practical security work, clear ownership, and working directly with cloud-native systems.

What Youll Do

• Operate and improve security controls across GCP environments
• Perform routine security configuration reviews and implement standard hardening
• Work with core GCP security services (IAM, Security Command Center, SecOps, etc.)
• Run vulnerability scans, analyze findings, and prioritize remediation
• Triage security alerts and provide clear, actionable remediation guidance
• Review Python code and system designs for common security issues (auth flaws, injections, misconfigurations)
• Document security best practices and contribute to internal security standards
• Automate basic security checks and repetitive tasks using scripting
• Collaborate with platform and engineering teams to embed security early in the lifecycle

What Were Looking For

• Hands-on experience with GCP security services (IAM, SCC, SecOps, logging, policies)
• Solid understanding of GCP security best practices and cloud hardening
• Practical experience running and interpreting vulnerability scans
• Ability to triage security findings and communicate risks clearly
• Experience reviewing Python code and system architectures for security issues
• Basic scripting skills in Python and/or Bash for automation
• Strong operational mindset with attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, engineering-led environment

Bonus Points

• Experience in AI, data, or high-scale cloud platforms
• Prior exposure to regulated or security-sensitive environments
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and automated security checks
• French language proficiency

Why This Role Will Pivot Your Career

• Work on real-world cloud security problems at scale
• Hands-on ownership of GCP security operations in production
• Close collaboration with senior infrastructure and platform engineers
• Strong exposure to cloud-native security automation
• Opportunity to relocate to Dubai with visa and logistics support
• Long-term growth in a security-first, product-led organization
