Cloud Engineer / Remote / PST Only / Short term Contract

What You'll Do

• Build and configure GCP landing zones across multiple regions (Germany, Japan, and the EU), with data-residency requirements as a first-class constraint.
• Develop reusable Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) modules and templates that internal teams can spin up and self-serve in their own environments.
• Implement the GCP-native infrastructure that replaces the retiring data-integration tooling.
• Apply established architecture standards and patterns consistently across regions.
• Configure GCP networking, IAM, and security guardrails to enable least-privilege, self-service provisioning.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure delivery.
• Document templates and standards for downstream implementation teams.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Strong, current, hands-on GCP experience — this is a build role.
• Production-grade Terraform (or equivalent IaC), including reusable module/template design for self-service consumption.
• Solid GCP networking and IAM (custom roles, service accounts, least-privilege design).
• Multi-region deployment experience with an understanding of data-residency / data-sovereignty controls.
• CID/CD for infrastructure.
• Ability to work independently against an established pattern and deliver within a short, focused engagement.

Nice-to-Have

• GCP data-integration / pipeline services (Dataflow, Cloud Composer/Airflow, Pub/Sub, Data Fusion).
• Familiarity with SnapLogic or similar iPaaS/ETL tooling (helpful for understanding what's being replaced).
• Experience supporting manufacturing or other compliance-sensitive domains.
• Exposure to EU and/or Japan data-protection requirements.
