Job Summary
We are looking for a highly experienced GCP Solution Architect with a proven track record of designing and delivering enterprise-grade cloud solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in migrating complex on-premises workloads to GCP, crafting architecture blueprints (HLD/LLD), and delivering operational documentation including runbooks, design documents, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end cloud architecture design for large-scale GCP engagements.
- Create and own High-Level Design (HLD) documents covering network topology, compute, storage, security, and integration patterns.
- Develop detailed Low-Level Design (LLD) documents specifying configurations, IP schemes, firewall rules, IAM policies, and resource specifications.
- Design multi-region, highly available, and fault-tolerant architectures on GCP.
- Define reference architectures, technology standards, and best practices for GCP adoption.
On-Premises to GCP Cloud Migration
Skill Requirements
Lead and execute migration of on-prem workloads (VMs, databases, applications) to GCP using tools like Migrate for Compute Engine, Database Migration Service (DMS), and Transfer Appliance.
- Conduct discovery and assessment of existing infrastructure to build migration roadmaps and wave plans.
- Define migration strategies: Rehost (Lift & Shift), Replatform, Refactor, and Rearchitect.
- Manage cutover planning, rollback strategies, and post-migration validation.
- Ensure zero or minimal downtime during migration events.
Other Requirements
Author and maintain comprehensive Design Documents covering solution architecture, data flows, integration points, and technology decisions.
- Produce operational Runbooks for deployment, maintenance, incident response, failover, and DR procedures.
- Develop Solution Architecture Documents (SADs) and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
- Create and maintain As-Built Documents post-deployment to reflect actual environment configurations.
- Prepare capacity planning documents and cost optimization reports.
Infrastructure as Code – Terraform
- Design and develop modular, reusable Terraform code for GCP resources (VPC, GKE, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, IAM, Cloud Armor, etc.).
- Implement and enforce Terraform best practices: remote state management (GCS backend), workspace strategy, and module versioning.
- Code review and governance for IaC contributions across teams.
- Integrate Terraform with CI/CD pipelines for automated provisioning and drift detection.
CI/CD Pipelines
- Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Tekton.
- Establish GitOps workflows for infrastructure and application deployments.
- Integrate security scanning (SAST, container scanning) and policy checks into pipelines.
- Define pipeline standards for blue/green, canary, and rolling deployments on GKE.
Security & Compliance
- Implement GCP security best practices: VPC Service Controls, BeyondCorp, Cloud Armor, Secret Manager, CMEK.
- Design IAM policies following the principle of least privilege.
- Ensure architectures meet compliance standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA) where applicable.
- Conduct architecture and security reviews and threat modelling.
Stakeholder & Team Collaboration
- Engage with business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
- Present and defend architectural decisions to senior leadership and technical teams.
- Mentor and guide junior architects, cloud engineers, and DevOps teams.
- Collaborate with application teams, security teams, and network teams across the organisation.
