GCP - L3 Architect
Remote - must work CST time zone
Cog/Client Kit
BGV Fully Cleared
Top Skills:
1. GCP Admin
2. GCP
3. Terraform
Job summary:
The Sr Architect designs and implements secure and scalable cloud solutions using GCP and Terraform for a large multinational organization, ensuring resilient infrastructure, optimized performance, and efficient cost management while working in a hybrid model and collaborating closely with cross functional teams to deliver high impact digital platforms.
Responsibilities :
-Design robust GCP architectures that align with enterprise standards while ensuring scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency for complex business critical applications.
-Develop reusable Terraform modules that standardize infrastructure provisioning and minimize configuration drift across multiple GCP environments and projects.
-Implement infrastructure as code practices that improve deployment consistency, reduce manual errors, and accelerate delivery of secure cloud platforms.
-Configure and manage GCP identity and access management policies that enforce least privilege principles and safeguard sensitive enterprise data assets.
-Optimize GCP resource utilization through detailed capacity planning, rightsizing analysis, and proactive monitoring to maintain performance and control operational costs.
-Collaborate with application teams to design target architectures that integrate networking, compute, storage, and security controls in a cohesive GCP solution.
-Create clear technical documentation and architecture diagrams that guide engineering teams in implementing and supporting the designed GCP solutions.
-Coordinate with security and compliance partners to embed required controls, logging, and encryption standards into every Terraform based GCP deployment.
-Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues in GCP environments by analyzing logs, metrics, and configurations to restore services quickly and prevent recurrence.
-Guide teams in adopting DevOps practices that integrate Terraform workflows with version control, code review, and continuous integration pipelines.
-Conduct design and code reviews for Terraform configurations to ensure adherence to best practices, internal standards, and regulatory requirements.
-Engage with stakeholders to translate business requirements into practical GCP architectures that deliver measurable outcomes for customers and internal users.
-Mentor junior engineers on GCP concepts, Terraform patterns, and operational excellence so that the broader team can deliver consistent quality solutions.
Qualifications:
-Possess extensive hands on experience designing and operating production workloads on GCP including networking, compute, storage, and managed services.
-Demonstrate strong proficiency with Terraform including module design, state management, workspaces, and integration with continuous integration pipelines.
-Exhibit practical knowledge of GCP administration tasks such as organization setup, project structure, billing configuration, and policy governance.
-Apply working understanding of security and compliance frameworks in cloud environments including identity management, encryption controls, and audit logging.
-Bring proven exposure to hybrid work models with effective remote collaboration using enterprise tooling and structured communication practices.
-Show familiarity with monitoring and logging solutions on GCP and related tools to maintain observability and proactively address performance issues.
-Display experience in migration or modernization initiatives where on premises or legacy workloads were transitioned into GCP using structured methodologies.
-Maintain awareness of emerging GCP services and Terraform ecosystem enhancements and apply relevant innovations to improve platform reliability and efficiency.
Additional Responsibilities:
• Provide Standards/Best practices on Platform Usage
• Cloud Architecture Reviews
• Advanced Troubleshooting - Handle Escalations
• Help Application Teams Deliver Value
• Eliminate Developer Friction
• Design for Consistency and Recoverability
• Level Up Cloud Security
• Standardizing Cloud Deployments
• FinOps
• Cloud Disaster Recovery & Cyber Resiliency
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Developer Empowerment & Productivity
