About the Role

We are building a new cloud landing zone on Tencent Cloud (Domestic China) within a GxP-regulated environment. As a Cloud Infrastructure DevOps Engineer, you are the hands-on expert who builds, automates, and operates our cloud infrastructure day-to-day. You own the CI/CD pipelines, ensure platform reliability, and drive operational excellence through automation and observability.

You will be part of a global team responsible for multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure, while your primary focus will be the Tencent Cloud platform in China.

What You'll Do

● Build and maintain the Tencent Cloud landing zone infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code – no manual changes, ever

● Deploy, operate, and troubleshoot TKE clusters (Tencent Kubernetes Engine) including networking, ingress controllers, service mesh, RBAC, pod security, scaling, and monitoring

● Own CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure deployment using GitHub Actions and GitOps workflows

● Automate everything – provisioning, configuration, testing, compliance checks, and drift detection

● Monitor and respond to infrastructure incidents, ensuring high availability and rapid resolution

● Collaborate with the Infrastructure Architect to implement designs and provide operational feedback

● Implement and maintain network security controls: firewall rules, security groups, WAF configurations, VPN/SD-WAN connectivity

● Leverage AI-powered tooling at the infrastructure level to improve automation, monitoring, alerting, and incident response

● Act as Qualification Owner for infrastructure components in the GxP-regulated environment

● Participate in on-call rotations covering the global multi-cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure)

What You Bring

Must Have

● 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure engineering / DevOps (Level 3 / Senior)

● Deep hands-on expertise in Tencent Cloud services (VPC, CCN, CVM, CLB, COS, Security Groups, Cloud Firewall)

● In-depth knowledge of TKE (Tencent Kubernetes Engine) – cluster operations, CNI networking, troubleshooting, scaling, monitoring, and upgrades

● Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) – writing, testing, and maintaining modules

● Expert-level proficiency with GitHub (Actions, workflows, branch strategies) and GitOps practices

● Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipeline design for infrastructure (testing, validation, promotion across environments)

● Experience with network security operations: firewall management, segmentation, traffic inspection

● Understanding of GxP/regulated environments and willingness to take on the role of Qualification Owner

● Automation-first mindset – you actively eliminate manual toil and build self-healing systems

● Basic knowledge in scripting, e.g. bash, Python or PowerShell

● Experience with at least one additional cloud platform: AWS, GCP, or Azure

● Strong troubleshooting and incident response skills

● Willingness to participate in global on-call rotations

● Fluent in English (written and spoken) – our team language is English

● Professional-Level Certificate (e.g. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate/Professional; Tencent Cloud Certified Professional – Solutions Architect)

Nice to Have

● Experience with PaloAlto firewalls

● Knowledge of Tencent EdgeOne or Tencent WAF

● Familiarity with SD-WAN solutions

● Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or Tencent Cloud Monitor)

● Experience with AI/ML tools for operations (AIOps, intelligent alerting, Copilot for IaC, automated remediation)

● Container security tools

● Experience with compliance frameworks (GxP, GAMP5)

● Mandarin language skills (beneficial for local vendor interactions)

What We Offer

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
