We are seeking a highly skilled GCP Architect to lead large-scale cloud migration and modernization programs. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on technical leader experienced in migrating complex workloads from on-premise and legacy systems (including AS400, VMware, and mainframes) to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
This position requires deep architectural knowledge, technical leadership, and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and optimize secure, scalable, and cost-efficient GCP environments.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end cloud migration initiatives, including discovery, assessment, planning, design, migration, and cutover. Architect secure, scalable, and automated GCP environments for enterprise workloads (Compute, Storage, Networking, Data, and Security). Modernize applications and databases using GCP-native services such as GCE, GKE, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Spanner, Dataflow, Dataproc, and Pub/Sub. Design and implement Landing Zones, hub-and-spoke network architectures, IAM policies, and VPC service controls. Lead teams of cloud engineers, DevOps, and data specialists through all migration phases from legacy discovery to post-migration optimization. Integrate CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, Cloud Build, Jenkins) to enable automation and repeatable deployments. Develop migration playbooks, governance frameworks, and runbooks ensuring compliance and operational excellence. Optimize performance, cost, and security across hybrid or multi-cloud environments. Partner with business and technical stakeholders to align cloud solutions with organizational goals. Oversee disaster recovery, HA/DR configurations, and resilience architecture on GCP.
