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.
