I korthet
Nordea is seeking an experienced Tech Lead to build and operate secure, automated GCP infrastructure foundations for Data Mesh and AI Platforms. This hybrid role requires hands-on engineering expertise in GCP, Terraform, CI/CD, and AI services, with a focus on secure, compliant, and cost-effective solutions for internal teams in a regulated banking environment. The position is open in Gdańsk or Gdynia (Poland), Copenhagen (Denmark), or Helsinki (Finland).
Ansvarsområden
- Set engineering direction for GCP infrastructure and AI platform capabilities.
- Be hands-on in designing, building, and validating core platform patterns.
- Spend significant time on hands-on engineering with Terraform, CI/CD, GCP configuration, troubleshooting, and production-readiness improvements.
- Lead by example with hands-on engineering work across GCP infrastructure, platform automation, CI/CD, provisioning, and reusable infrastructure-as-code patterns.
- Design, mature, and operate secure GCP platform foundations, including organization and project structure, landing-zone patterns, identity provider integration, IAM, networking, observability, logging, and policy guardrails.
- Build reusable Terraform modules and platform patterns for provisioning reliable GCP environments with clear standards.
- Drive pragmatic adoption of GCP data and AI platform services, focusing on Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, and related services.
- Coach engineers through hands-on collaboration, code reviews, design reviews, and practical delivery of reusable platform patterns.
- Collaborate with product owners, data scientists, architects, cybersecurity, and governance teams.
- Own and communicate the technical roadmap for GCP infrastructure and platform capabilities.
- Translate technical complexity into clear recommendations, decision points, and status updates.

- GCP infrastructure foundations: Strong hands-on experience with GCP organization, folders and projects, landing-zone patterns, Shared VPC, Cloud NAT, firewall policies, private connectivity, and environment isolation.
- Identity, access and security: Expert understanding of IAM design, least-privilege access, federation, workload identity, service accounts, secrets management, key management, and policy guardrails in enterprise environments.
- Infrastructure as Code: Excellent Terraform skills, including modular design, reusable patterns, testing, versioning, state management, and promotion across environments.
- Platform automation and CI/CD: Ability to build reliable platform pipelines for provisioning, validation, deployment, policy checks, release management, and operational lifecycle management.
- Data and AI platform services: Practical knowledge of GCP services relevant to data and AI platforms, especially Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Cloud Composer, and related integration patterns.
- Observability and operations: Experience with Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, alerting, SLOs, incident response, resilience patterns, cost controls, and production-readiness practices.
- Hands-on technical leadership: Ability to set technical direction while contributing hands-on, coaching engineers, defining standards, documenting reusable patterns, and communicating complex platform decisions clearly to stakeholders.
- A BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Security, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of experience in cloud, infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or similar technical leadership roles.
- Documented experience providing hands-on technical leadership and setting engineering direction in complex technology environments.
- Expert-level knowledge of GCP infrastructure, provisioning, automation, and Infrastructure as Code, with Terraform as an essential skill.
- Strong experience with GCP services and ecosystems relevant to data and AI platforms, such as Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Composer, Cloud Run, GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Monitoring.
- Strong understanding of IdP integration, IAM, federation, workload identity, secrets management, and secure access patterns in enterprise environments.
- Experience building production-grade CI/CD pipelines, observability, and operational controls for platforms.
- Ability to evaluate trade-offs between speed, cost, scalability, resilience, and compliance.
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain platform decisions, document technical patterns, and act as a hands-on subject matter expert for GCP infrastructure and Cloud AI Platforms.
Önskade kvalifikationer
- Proven experience designing, building, and operating production-grade platform capabilities on Google Cloud Platform.
- Treat infrastructure as software and be highly comfortable with Terraform, automation, CI/CD, and modern DevOps practices.
