GCP Development, Accelerated with AI
AI-Driven Cost Management
AI monitors your GCP billing data, identifies cost spikes, recommends committed use discounts, and flags underutilized resources before your monthly bill arrives.
Security Configuration Scanning
AI audits IAM policies, firewall rules, and service account permissions, catching misconfigurations that create security vulnerabilities or compliance risks.
Data Pipeline Optimization
AI profiles your BigQuery queries and Dataflow jobs, identifying optimization opportunities that reduce processing time and cost on data-intensive workloads.
Infrastructure Automation
AI-assisted Terraform development for GCP infrastructure means changes are version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and tested before they touch production.
What Our GCP Developers Build
Cloud Architecture & Migration
Multi-region GCP architectures with VPC networking, load balancing, and disaster recovery. Migration from on-premise, AWS, or Azure to Google Cloud.
Serverless & Cloud Run
Container-based serverless applications on Cloud Run with automatic scaling, custom domains, and pay-per-request pricing.
Data Engineering (BigQuery)
Data warehousing and analytics on BigQuery. ETL pipelines, scheduled queries, and BI tool integration for large-scale data analysis.
Kubernetes on GKE
Container orchestration with Google Kubernetes Engine. Service mesh, autoscaling, and multi-cluster management for microservices architectures.
Firebase & Real-Time
Firebase-backed applications with real-time databases, authentication, cloud messaging, and serverless functions. Mobile and web integration.
AI/ML Infrastructure
Vertex AI model training, deployment, and serving. GPU instances, training pipelines, and model monitoring for machine learning workloads.
VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Every engineer goes through the same four-stage funnel. Most do not make it past stage two.
30,000+
Applications received each year
Around 15 open roles at any time, each receiving roughly 200 applications per month through LinkedIn, AngelList, employee referrals, and outbound headhunting across India. India produces 1.5 million CS graduates a year, so sourcing is not the moat. Filtering is. Most applications are auto-filtered for stack relevance, years of experience, English, and time-zone overlap before any human reviews them.
5%
Pass live coding + system design
Two-stage technical interview: a 90-minute live coding exercise tailored to the candidate's primary stack, then a system-design discussion grounded in real production scenarios.
2%
Pass project deep-dive + background verification
We ask candidates to walk through a recent production project: architecture decisions, what they would change in hindsight. We also run a background verification check through a third-party BGV agency to confirm prior employment, education, and identity.
1.2%
Complete 2-week shadow onboarding
A senior Unico Connect engineer shadows new hires for two weeks on an internal project. We watch how they respond to feedback, ask for help, and ship code. Fast learners stay.
