Cloud Solutions Architect

We are seeking a hands-on Cloud Solutions Architect to design, build, and optimize enterprise cloud infrastructure in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This is not a traditional architecture role focused solely on strategy—you'll be actively building infrastructure, writing code, automating deployments, and partnering with engineering teams to deliver scalable, secure cloud solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and implement cloud infrastructure solutions in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Develop architecture blueprints and technical documentation to support cloud initiatives
• Build and manage infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices
• Develop automation and operational tooling using Python
• Implement GitOps workflows using GitHub or GitLab
• Design and support cloud networking, including VPCs, VPNs, load balancers, routing, DNS, and hybrid connectivity
• Configure and maintain Landing Zones and cloud foundation services
• Define monitoring strategies, operational procedures, KPIs, and health checks
• Support CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, security, and product teams to deliver cloud solutions
• Identify technical risks and implement scalable, reliable solutions
• Mentor team members and contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, and cloud best practices

Requirements

• 10+ years of overall IT experience
• 2+ years of hands-on experience building infrastructure in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Experience designing and implementing cloud infrastructure (not simply migrating applications to the cloud)
• Strong experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Experience with GitOps, including GitHub and/or GitLab
• Strong scripting skills with Python
• Solid Linux administration experience
• Experience with cloud networking concepts including VPCs, VPNs, routing, DNS, load balancers, and hybrid connectivity
• Strong documentation and technical communication skills

Skills

• Experience with Kubernetes, GKE, or EKS
• Experience with Ansible
• Knowledge of CI/CD tools such as Jenkins or TeamCity
• Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, Artifactory, DockerHub, and GitHub
• Experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Microsoft SQL Server
• Experience working in Agile environments
• Professional Cloud Architect certification is a plus

Work Environment

• Candidates should be within driving distance of St. Louis, MO; Charlotte, NC; or Denver, CO
• Collaborative engineering environment with a strong focus on automation, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps best practices
• Opportunity to work on enterprise-scale cloud initiatives using modern technologies including GCP, Terraform, Python, GitOps, Kubernetes, and cloud networking
• One virtual interview consisting of approximately one hour with the hiring manager and technical team

Pay

The approximate pay range for this position is between $75/hr and $81/hr. Final compensation may vary based on factors including but not limited to background, knowledge, skills, and location.

Benefits

• Employee-Owned Profit Sharing (ESOP)
• 401K offered
