This is not a development-heavy role but requires deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, networking, security, and operational excellence.

Job Description:

Key Responsibilities

• Cloud Architecture Design: Lead the design and implementation of GCP-based cloud infrastructure, including compute, storage, networking, and database solutions, to meet business and technical requirements.  Responsible for creating and maintaining design documentation.
• Infrastructure Optimization: Optimize cloud environments for cost, performance, scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency using tools like GCP Cost Management, Compute Engine, and Kubernetes Engine.
• Security and Compliance: Implement robust security frameworks, including IAM policies, encryption, VPC Service Controls, and compliance with standards such as SOC 2 and HIPAA and providing evidentiary processes.
• Automation and IaC: Drive infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices with Terraform to automate provisioning and management of cloud resources.
• Networking and Connectivity: Architect and manage VPCs, Cloud Interconnect, Cloud VPN, and hybrid/multi-cloud connectivity solutions to ensure secure and efficient network performance, monitoring and operational effectiveness.
• High Availability and Disaster Recovery: Design and implement HA/DR strategies, leveraging GCP services like Cloud Load Balancing, Managed Instance Groups, and Cloud Storage for data redundancy.
• Performance Monitoring and Incident Response: Establish monitoring and alerting systems using Google Cloud Operations Suite and lead incident response for infrastructure-related issues. 
• Strategic Leadership: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams, aligning cloud strategies with business objectives and fostering a culture of continuous learning, embracing change and innovation.
• Collaboration: Work closely with DevOps, security, and application teams to ensure seamless integration of infrastructure solutions with application workloads.
• Governance and Best Practices: Define and enforce cloud governance policies, including resource tagging, budgeting, and lifecycle management, to ensure operational efficiency.  Establish documented best practice processes for supporting and maintaining the cloud environment.
• Emerging Technologies: Stay ahead of GCP product updates and emerging cloud trends, evaluating and integrating new services like Anthos, BigQuery, or AI Platform for infrastructure use cases.

Qualifications

• Experience:
  • 10+ years of experience in IT infrastructure, with at least 5 years focused on designing and managing cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform.
  • Proven track record as a Principal Engineer, Cloud Architect, or similar senior-level role in a cloud-centric environment.
  • Extensive experience with large-scale, enterprise-grade cloud deployments in compliance-governed industries such as healthcare and finance.
• Education:
  • Google Cloud Professional Certifications (e.g., Professional Cloud Architect, Professional Cloud Network Engineer, or Professional Cloud Security Engineer) are highly desirable.
• Technical Skills:
  • Deep expertise in GCP core services, including VertexAI, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, VPC, Cloud Functions, and Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
  • Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation with Azure DevOps.
  • Strong knowledge of networking concepts (e.g., DNS, TCP/IP, BGP, VPNs) and GCP networking services (Cloud Router, Cloud NAT, Cloud Armor).
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, GKE) for infrastructure management.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools like Google Cloud Operations Suite, Prometheus, or Grafana.
  • Understanding of security best practices, including IAM, encryption at rest/in-transit, and zero-trust architecture.
  • Working knowledge of hybrid/multi-cloud architectures and integration with on-premises systems.
• Soft Skills:
  • Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, with a focus on root-cause analysis for infrastructure issues.
  • Highly organized to prioritize work and lead team through implementation and migration projects, with the ability to identify, assess and communicate risks and issues.
  • Strong communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. 
  • Proven leadership and mentorship abilities, with experience guiding cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities.
  • Strong desire to produce documentation capturing architectural, technical, operational aspects of a designed solution, along with operational support processes.
