The role

We are looking for a GCP Cloud Engineer to architect and manage cloud infrastructure using GKE, Cloud Run, and Terraform. This person leads a dedicated AWS-to-GCP migration workstream, assessing source workloads, defining target architectures, and driving production cutover. Strong CI/CD experience with Azure DevOps and scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell rounds out the role.

What you'll do

  • Architect, deploy, and maintain GCP cloud resources via Terraform or other automation.
  • Implement Google Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, and Filestore for data storage and processing needs.
  • Manage and configure Cloud Load Balancers (HTTP(S), TCP/UDP, and SSL Proxy) for high availability and scalability.
  • Design and implement cloud networking, IAM, security, and landing-zone components.
  • Optimize resource allocation, monitoring, and cost efficiency across GCP environments.
  • Deploy, manage, and optimize workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
  • Work with Helm charts for microservices deployments.
  • Automate scaling, rolling updates, and zero-downtime deployments.
  • Move Kubernetes workloads across clouds where required, including AWS EKS to GKE.
  • Deploy and manage applications on Cloud Run and Cloud Functions for scalable, serverless workloads.
  • Optimize containerized applications running on Cloud Run for cost efficiency and performance.
  • Design, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps.
  • Automate infrastructure deployment using Terraform, Bash, and PowerShell scripting.
  • Integrate security and compliance checks into the DevOps workflow (DevSecOps).
  • Migrate or redesign existing pipelines as workloads move from AWS to GCP.
  • Assess existing AWS infrastructure and workloads and define appropriate GCP target architectures.
  • Plan and execute production AWS-to-GCP migration activities, including workload cutover and rollback planning.
  • Plan and execute cross-cloud data migration covering object storage, warehouses, and managed services.
  • Support reliability, performance, scalability, and cost optimization during and after migration.
  • Automate migration and operational activities using Python, Bash, PowerShell, Go, or platform tooling.
  • Use AI coding assistants as a core part of daily engineering work - migration analysis, implementation, troubleshooting, and documentation.

Requirements

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years in Cloud Engineering, with a focus on GCP.
  • Strong knowledge of GCP services (GKE, Compute Engine, IAM, VPC, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Cloud Load Balancing).
  • Experience with GKE, Docker, GKE networking, and Helm.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps for CI/CD pipeline automation.
  • Expertise in Terraform for provisioning cloud resources.
  • Proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation.
  • Knowledge of cloud security principles, IAM, and compliance standards.
  • Demonstrated hands-on involvement in at least one real AWS-to-GCP migration - not just multi-cloud familiarity - with the ability to explain what was migrated and what broke.
  • Comfortable delivering production-quality code with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or comparable AI coding assistants.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to have

  • Experience with GCP target data platforms such as Databricks or BigQuery.
  • Experience migrating network and infrastructure components, not only application workloads.
  • Strong Go and/or Python engineering depth.
  • Experience leading large-scale cloud migration programs.
  • Experience with MCP, reusable AI Skills, or agentic AI workflows.
  • Cross-cloud cost and performance optimization experience.
