Technical Delivery Lead - Infrastructure, Google Cloud

About the role

You're the person the client trusts to make it happen. As a Technical Delivery Lead, you own delivery from initial solution shaping through go-live. You design the delivery approach for cloud infrastructure engagements, lead the platform build, and ensure the client has a production-grade foundation they can scale on. You're supported by a dedicated engineering team - you set the direction, they build alongside you. But you're the single point of accountability for what ships.

Responsibilities

• Own the delivery. End-to-end. Scope, timeline, team structure, quality, outcome. You're the single point of accountability the client relies on.
• Design how it gets delivered. Shape the delivery approach for infrastructure and platform engagements - define the migration waves, structure the team across workstreams (networking, compute, security, operations), set the delivery cadence, and sequence the work to ensure production readiness.
• Partner with solution engineers who own the technical architecture; you own how it gets built, validated, and handed over.
• Provide technical advisory across the engagement - Guide our mid-market clients and teams on our offerings, technical implementation, and the underlying Google Cloud services, with a deep understanding of each client's existing environment and architecture.
• Be the client's trusted delivery partner. You're the face of the engagement. Lead status reviews, manage expectations, navigate trade-offs in real time, and ensure the client always knows where things stand - especially during high-stakes migration and platform build programs.
• Get solutions into clients' hands fast. Pick up where the deal ends and make it real. Stand up the delivery, mobilize the team, and drive execution from day one - delivering proven capabilities in weeks, not quarters.
• Lead across borders. Coordinate onshore delivery leadership with offshore engineering teams. Set priorities, define workstreams, remove blockers, and keep the entire delivery machine moving at pace.
• Drive quality and outcomes. Establish delivery governance, define checkpoints, validate operational readiness, and ensure every engagement delivers measurable client value - from landing zone deployment to workload migration completion.

Requirements

• Minimum 7 years in hands-on, client-facing technology roles — you've built and delivered, not just managed.
• Minimum 5 years architecting and delivering on Google Cloud Platform, with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, networking, migration, and platform engineering.
• You've independently owned client engagements from technical design through go-live.
• Deep hands-on proficiency with Terraform, VPC networking, GKE, compute services, and cloud operations — you can design a landing zone, write a Terraform module, and troubleshoot a networking issue.
• Strong understanding of security-by-design — IAM, org policies, encryption, network segmentation, compliance controls.
• Strong in both technical leadership and delivery management — architecture, scope, risk, stakeholders.
• Experience with distributed global teams and modern engineering practices.
• Clear communicator — whiteboarding with engineers or presenting to a C-suite.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)
• Google Cloud Professional certifications (Cloud Architect, Cloud Network Engineer, Cloud Security Engineer)
• Documented expertise managing complex data center exits, comprehensive workload wave planning, and technical risk assessments.
• Strong understanding of security-by-design — IAM, org policies, encryption, network segmentation, compliance controls.
• Experience with large-scale cloud migrations — data center exits, workload assessment, wave planning.
• Hands-on experience with platform engineering and developer self-service on GCP.
• Experience with hybrid and multi-cloud architectures (Anthos, Interconnect, partner networking).

Skills & Technologies

• Cloud Foundations: Architectural proficiency setting up Google Cloud landing zones, organization hierarchies, resource management policies, enterprise billing structures, and multi-tenant project structures.
• Advanced Networking: Technical depth in VPC design, hybrid/multi-cloud connectivity (including Interconnect and VPN setups), Cloud DNS, load balancing configurations, and Private Service Connect architectures.
• Compute & Platform Engineering: Practical experience deploying GCE, GKE, Cloud Run, and Sole Tenant Nodes with an emphasis on workload right-sizing, automatic scaling, and infrastructure cost optimization.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Hands-on engineering fluency with Terraform script automation, the Cloud Foundation Toolkit, Config Connector integrations, and policy-as-code enforcement via OPA or Gatekeeper.
• Platform Engineering Blueprinting: Capability to construct automated "golden paths," developer self-service infrastructure portals, and technical platform operational guardrails.
• Workload Migration Mechanics: Experience conducting infrastructure discovery assessments, executing Migrate to VMs, migrating legacy databases with DMS, and coordinating large-scale physical data center exits.
• Operations & Observability Foundations: Operational implementation knowledge of Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) automated alerts, incident management frameworks, and proactive cost optimization controls.
