GCP and DevOps Architect

Position Description :

About the role

We're looking for a GCP Cloud Architect to Operate, design, build, and secure high-availability, cost-efficient platforms on Google Cloud. You'll own end-to-end architecture, from VPC design and container orchestration to data / AI workloads and DevSecOps, while guiding engineering teams toward operational excellence.

What you'll do

• Architecture & Delivery Design scalable, resilient reference architectures on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using VPC, Cloud Load Balancing, Persistent Disks, Cloud Storage, Compute Engine, App Engine, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Lead containerization and container orchestration strategies; standardize deployments with Helm and GitOps-friendly workflows. Define data architecture patterns using CloudSQL, Memorystore, BigQuery, and integrate Vertex AI for ML / AI use cases.
• Platform Engineering & Automation Implement Infrastructure as Code with Terraform; enforce modular, reusable stacks and environment promotion. Establish / optimize CI / CD pipelines with GitLab and Jenkins; integrate SonarQube for code quality and security gates.
• Security, Compliance & Resilience Drive DevSecOps practices; embed security scanning and policy as code. Implement org-level controls with Google Security Command Center; integrate IAM with OneLogin (SSO / SCIM / OIDC). Own WAF strategy : operate current Reblaze WAF and plan / migrate to Cloud Armor; manage DDoS protection with Cloud Armor and best-practice network patterns.
• SRE & Operations Set up observability and SLOs using Cloud Operations Suite (Logging, Monitoring, Tracing); enable autoscaling and self-healing. Champion cost governance (rightsizing, committed use, storage lifecycle) and disaster recovery (RTO / RPO, backups).
• Leadership & Governance Run architecture reviews, threat models, and design workshops; mentor engineers and standardize patterns via ADRs and blueprints. Collaborate with product, data, and security stakeholders; maintain a living cloud roadmap.
