Job Title: Cloud Architect
Role Summary: Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and cost‑effective infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using infrastructure‑as‑code (IaC) practices, primarily Terraform. Drive integration of GCP services with SaaS solutions, enforce security policies, and optimize performance and cost.
Expectations: Deliver robust architecture designs, implement IaC solutions, lead SaaS integrations, enforce GCP security and compliance, monitor and optimize platform performance, and communicate architectural decisions to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architect and document secure, cost‑optimized GCP solutions (Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Cloud Storage).
- Develop, version, and maintain Terraform configurations for networking, security, compute, and data services.
- Lead technical implementation of SaaS integrations (Salesforce, ServiceNow, monitoring tools) using APIs, OAuth, and service accounts.
- Implement GCP security best practices: IAM, VPC, firewall rules, VPN, encryption, and compliance controls.
- Monitor, analyze, and optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency of cloud platforms.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to align architecture with business objectives.
Required Skills:
- 8+ years of cloud infrastructure experience (networking, compute, data services, IAM).
- Expert proficiency in Terraform (custom modules, state management, collaboration).
- Strong knowledge of GCP services and architecture patterns.
- Experience designing secure SaaS integrations (APIs, OAuth, service accounts).
- Scripting skills (Python, Bash) for automation.
- Familiarity with containerization (GKE, Docker, Cloud Run) and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Logging/Monitoring).
- Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to explain technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
Required Education & Certifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- GCP Professional Cloud Architect certification highly preferred.
- Knowledge of AI/ML services (Vertex AI) and related concepts is a plus.
