Cloud Engineer

About the Role

This role is for our client in the cloud engineering sector. The GCP Cloud Engineer accelerates project delivery by implementing enterprise-grade cloud designs and automation standards established by the Cloud Architecture and Operations teams. Operating within a DevOps methodology, you will serve as the primary infrastructure lead on cloud migration and modernization projects—provisioning application hosting environments, building robust monitoring, and ensuring high availability.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement enterprise-grade cloud designs and automation standards established by the Cloud Architecture and Operations teams.
• Provision application hosting environments, build robust monitoring, and ensure high availability.
• Author, socialize, and govern the standards for how the organization consumes cloud services.
• Drive lifecycle management, evaluate evolving GCP capabilities, manage vendor interactions, and participate in after-hours on-call rotation.
• Deploy and manage GCP infrastructure natively as code (IaC) utilizing Terraform integrated into automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Define, document, and govern Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the secure consumption of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS across GCP.
• Configure and deploy highly available VPC environments, Shared VPCs, and cloud compute instances across all hosted enterprise workloads.
• Partner with Network Security Operations (NetSecOps) and the CISO team to embed identity, governance, and network security policies directly into automated, reusable infrastructure templates.
• Manage cloud-platform users, organizations, groups, and access controls in strict alignment with IAM team requirements.
• Design and implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and reporting capabilities to ensure platform health and management visibility.
• Analyze emerging GCP features for platform adoption and evangelize cloud capabilities to internal teams to drive migration.
• Act as the escalation point for on-call/break-fix efforts to rapidly diagnose and resolve complex incidents within cloud-based systems.
• Participate in a rotating 24/7/365 after-hours on-call schedule to provide Tier-2 engineering support, system monitoring, and rapid incident response for production environments.
