Description

  • We are seeking an experienced GCP Cloud Architect to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of cloud solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • The ideal candidate will possess deep technical expertise in GCP services, have experience with cloud migrations, and be adept at building scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures tailored to business needs.

Key Responsibilities

Architectural Design and Planning

  • Develop cloud architecture solutions leveraging GCP services such as Compute Engine, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, and Kubernetes Engine.
  • Translate business and technical requirements into scalable and secure cloud designs.
  • Define architecture blueprints, best practices, and cloud standards for deployment.

Cloud Migration Strategy

  • Assess existing systems, workloads, and data to determine cloud migration strategies.
  • Design migration plans for applications, data, and infrastructure to GCP.
  • Optimize resource utilization during migration to ensure minimal downtime and cost efficiency.

Implementation and Deployment

  • Lead the setup and configuration of GCP environments, including VPCs, IAM policies, firewalls, and hybrid connectivity.
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, Deployment Manager, or Ansible.
  • Collaborate with DevOps teams to streamline CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration.

Performance and Cost Optimization

  • Monitor and optimize cloud resource usage for performance and cost-efficiency.
  • Implement solutions for high availability, disaster recovery, and auto-scaling.
  • Leverage tools like Stackdriver for observability, logging, and monitoring.

Security and Compliance

  • Design cloud architectures with a strong focus on security and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
  • Implement identity and access management (IAM) best practices.
  • Ensure data protection, encryption, and secure network configurations.

Stakeholder Collaboration and Leadership

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, operations, and product teams, to align cloud architecture with business goals.
  • Conduct architectural reviews, present proposals, and lead discussions with stakeholders.
  • Mentor and guide team members on GCP best practices and emerging technologies.

Qualifications

Technical Expertise

  • Extensive hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, including but not limited to:
  • Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and App Engine
  • BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Dataflow
  • Pub/Sub and Cloud Functions
  • Strong understanding of cloud networking (VPC, VPN, Interconnect, DNS).
  • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Deployment Manager.
  • Experience in designing and implementing microservices architectures and containerized workloads.
  • Cloud Architecture and Migration Experience
  • Proven experience designing cloud-native and hybrid solutions.
  • Expertise in cloud migration strategies for workloads and data.

Soft Skills

  • Strong leadership and communication skills.
  • Ability to articulate and document architecture decisions and trade-offs.
  • Collaborative mindset to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

  • GCP certifications (e.g., Professional Cloud Architect, Professional Data Engineer).
  • Experience with multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures.
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and tools like Jenkins or GitOps.
  • Knowledge of AI/ML services on GCP (Vertex AI, AutoML).
  • Security certifications (e.g., CCSP, CISSP) are a plus
