Overview

Serve as a Cloud or Infrastructure Architect and technical leader, consulting with clients, stakeholders, governance teams, project executives, delivery teams and vendors to define, design and implement enterprise cloud solutions. Lead GCP-focused architecture, migration, automation, DevSecOps and infrastructure governance from project initiation through delivery.

What you'll do

• Lead architecture workshops and design scalable GCP cloud solutions, including workload migration strategies from on-premises data centers to the cloud.
• Build and deliver automated infrastructure, platform deployments and configuration workflows using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Deployment Manager and GitOps.
• Design and set up secure, automated CI/CD pipelines using GCP Cloud Build, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo and SonarQube.
• Perform periodic architecture reviews to enhance application performance and drive cost optimization.
• Build internal utilities for safer, high-speed engineering operations.
• Document technical frameworks and architecture workflows.
• Implement robust monitoring, SRE practices and configuration management using technologies such as Anthos and GCVE.
• Own the full cloud migration lifecycle across multiple waves, from discovery, assessment and dependency mapping through runbooks, execution governance and final cutover.
• Lead the architecture of secure GCP landing zones covering networking, identity, security, logging, monitoring and shared services.
• Define, govern and execute rehost, replatform and modernize migration patterns while managing downtime planning and translating technical assessments into execution plans.
• Drive selection and architectural oversight of native and third-party migration tools for virtual machines, applications, databases and containers, including GCP Migration Center, M2VM and HCX.
• Unite and guide client, governance, project executive, delivery and vendor stakeholders throughout projects.
• Consult with clients, gather inputs, define solutions, design architectures and lead implementation as the technical subject matter expert.

What you'll need

• Hands-on experience designing multi-tier, fault-tolerant, cloud-native enterprise applications, primarily using GCP and secondarily AWS.
• Solid understanding of systems, storage, security and networking across traditional data center environments and public cloud IaaS/PaaS.
• Experience automating infrastructure and configurations using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet and GitHub.
• Expertise building reusable release pipelines in Jenkins or AWS CodePipeline.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Shell/Bash, PowerShell and YAML.
• Hands-on mastery of Linux and Windows environments, including database and application interoperability.
• Professional Cloud Architect certification.
• Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification.
• Cloud Developer or DevOps Engineer certification.
• Certifications in Terraform, Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Jenkins or similar technologies.

Nice to have

• Experience leading DevSecOps/SRE projects, setting up GitOps workflows and designing robust CI/CD pipelines integrating Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo and ELK.
• Deep expertise delivering immutable infrastructure-as-code and automating platform deployments using Terraform, CloudFormation, Anthos Config Management and GCVE.
• A track record of leading technical workshops with enterprise clients to architect advanced AWS solutions and design migration strategies from data centers to the cloud.
• Proven ability to perform periodic architecture reviews, enhance application performance, drive cost optimization and thoroughly document technical frameworks.
• Collaborative skills in building utility tools and scripts, such as Chef cookbooks, that enable engineering teams to operate safely at high speed and wide scale.
