Responsibilities
Own the enterprise GCP platform end-to-end: organization structure, resource hierarchy, networking architecture while collaborating with several teams to ensure the platform is stable and compliant
Define and maintain the GCP landing zone — Shared VPC, Org Policies, and project factory patterns — as the foundation all product teams build on
Serve as the one of the final technical authorities on GCP engineering decisions, reviewing designs for scalability, security, and operational excellence before they reach production
Build self-service platform capabilities that enable product engineering teams to move fast without compromising standards
Lead the GCP cloud engineering team as the technical anchor — set direction, conduct design reviews, unblock engineers, and drive delivery on platform initiatives
Establish and enforce engineering standards: IaC patterns, naming conventions, tagging strategy, branching models, and deployment practices
Mentor engineers at all levels, building depth on the team and raising the bar on what 'excellence' looks like in cloud engineering
Partner with architecture, security, operations, and business stakeholders to translate enterprise requirements into platform capabilities
Drive Infrastructure as code as a core principle — reusable modules, pipeline integration, state management, and policy guardrails
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, and Artifact Registry for both platform infrastructure and application teams
Write production-quality automation to extend platform functionality, integrate GCP APIs, and eliminate operational toil
Implement policy-as-code using OPA, Config Connector, and GCP Org Policies to enforce governance at scale without manual gatekeeping
Architect/Engineer GCP networking: Shared VPC, VPC Service Controls, Private Service Connect, NCC, Cloud NAT, and hybrid connectivity via Cloud Interconnect and HA VPN
Own the enterprise security posture on GCP — Workload Identity Federation, Binary Authorization, Secret Manager, IAM least-privilege design, and SIEM/CSPM integration (Security Command Center, Prisma Cloud, or Wiz)
Drive continuous automated compliance across applicable regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2) so controls are enforced in real time, not discovered at audit
Integrate observability — Cloud Operations Suite, Datadog, and SLO/SLI frameworks — as a first-class platform capability across all workloads
Own the GCP platform roadmap, evaluating new GCP services and capabilities and making deliberate decisions about what the enterprise adopts and when
Incorporate FinOps practices across the platform: committed use discounts, rightsizing, budget alerting, and cost allocation as engineering disciplines, not afterthoughts
Research and pilot emerging GCP capabilities like — Vertex AI, GKE Enterprise, Duet AI for DevOps — evaluating their fit for enterprise adoption
Foster a culture that drive collaboration across teams and towers to shape the future of cutting-edge cloud technology adoption
Qualification
Required
10+ years in cloud and infrastructure engineering with 5+ years of deep, hands-on GCP experience at enterprise scale

Demonstrated technical leadership: you have led a platform team or major enterprise cloud initiative, set technical direction, and grown engineers around you
Deep GCP expertise required across: Compute & Containers: GKE (Autopilot + Standard), Cloud Run, Compute Engine, MIGs
Networking: Shared VPC, VPC Service Controls, Private Service Connect, Cloud Armor, Interconnect
Data & Messaging: BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Cloud Composer
Security: IAM, Workload Identity, SCC, Binary Authorization, Secret Manager, VPC-SC
IaC & Automation: Terraform (modules, remote state, OPA), Cloud Build, Config Connector
Observability: Cloud Operations Suite, Datadog, SLO/SLI design, PagerDuty integration
Languages: Python and Go (required); Bash proficiency expected
