GCP L3 Architect- Only W2

Responsibilities

• Design robust GCP architectures that align with enterprise standards while ensuring scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency for complex business critical applications.
• Develop reusable Terraform modules that standardize infrastructure provisioning and minimize configuration drift across multiple GCP environments and projects.
• Implement infrastructure as code practices that improve deployment consistency, reduce manual errors, and accelerate delivery of secure cloud platforms.
• Configure and manage GCP identity and access management policies that enforce least privilege principles and safeguard sensitive enterprise data assets.
• Optimize GCP resource utilization through detailed capacity planning, rightsizing analysis, and proactive monitoring to maintain performance and control operational costs.
• Collaborate with application teams to design target architectures that integrate networking, compute, storage, and security controls in a cohesive GCP solution.
• Create clear technical documentation and architecture diagrams that guide engineering teams in implementing and supporting the designed GCP solutions.
• Coordinate with security and compliance partners to embed required controls, logging, and encryption standards into every Terraform based GCP deployment.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues in GCP environments by analyzing logs, metrics, and configurations to restore services quickly and prevent recurrence.
• Guide teams in adopting DevOps practices that integrate Terraform workflows with version control, code review, and continuous integration pipelines.
• Conduct design and code reviews for Terraform configurations to ensure adherence to best practices, internal standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Engage with stakeholders to translate business requirements into practical GCP architectures that deliver measurable outcomes for customers and internal users.
• Mentor junior engineers on GCP concepts, Terraform patterns, and operational excellence so that the broader team can deliver consistent quality solutions.

Qualifications
