GCP Full Stack-SA with Python, GCP, ReactJs, Apigee, Gemini, GKE

Role & responsibilities:

Key Responsibilities

• Lead full-stack application development using React.js/Angular (with Next.js, Redux Toolkit, Context API, and TypeScript), Python (FastAPI/Flask/Django), and GCP serverless services.
• Architect end-to-end solutions including frontend (Cloud CDN distribution), backend (Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, GKE), API (API Gateway, Apigee, gRPC, Cloud Endpoints for GraphQL), and database layers (Firestore, Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, Memorystore).
• Design scalable REST, gRPC, and GraphQL API architectures using API Gateway/Apigee and Cloud Endpoints with advanced patterns (caching, WebSocket, request/response transformations).
• Design asynchronous and background processing workflows using Celery for long-running or scheduled tasks.
• Lead database design and optimization for Firestore (data modeling, composite indexes), Cloud SQL/AlloyDB, and Cloud Spanner workloads.
• Integrate event streaming with Kafka and Pub/Sub for high-throughput, event-driven data pipelines.
• Integrate GenAI capabilities into application features using Gemini APIs where relevant to product requirements.
• Establish CI/CD pipeline standards using Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy, Artifact Registry, and Firebase Hosting with managed CI/CD.
• Implement GCP security best practices including Identity Platform, IAM, Cloud KMS, Secret Manager, and Cloud Armor.
• Develop IaC using Terraform or Config Connector.
• Lead and mentor development teams on modern frameworks, Python full-stack patterns, and GCP best practices.
• Collaborate with DevOps, Security, QA, and business teams for delivery excellence.
• Use Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Trace, Cloud Logging, and Error Reporting for observability and performance optimization.
