Role & Responsibilities:

- Design and implement scalable, secure, highly available, and cost-effective cloud architectures on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Lead cloud architecture initiatives, including cloud migration, modernization, application transformation, and hybrid/multi-cloud solutions.
- Define GCP architecture standards, reference architectures, design patterns, and best practices across projects.
- Architect solutions using key GCP services such as Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Spanner, Pub/Sub, VPC, IAM, and Cloud Load Balancing.
- Design and implement enterprise networking, including VPCs, subnets, firewall policies, VPN, Interconnect, Private Service Connect, and hybrid connectivity.
- Establish robust security and identity architectures using IAM, service accounts, organization policies, Secret Manager, KMS, Security Command Center, and related controls.
- Design high-availability, disaster-recovery, backup, and business-continuity strategies aligned with business requirements and SLAs.
- Drive DevOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and automation using tools such as Terraform, Cloud Build, GitHub/GitLab, and deployment automation.
- Develop cloud cost optimization and FinOps strategies, including resource sizing, committed-use discounts, autoscaling, budgets, and monitoring.
- Work closely with application, data, security, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to translate business requirements into technical architectures.
- Conduct architecture reviews, identify technical risks, and provide recommendations for performance, scalability, reliability, and security improvements.
- Create High-Level Design (HLD), Low-Level Design (LLD), architecture diagrams, technical documentation, and implementation roadmaps.




- Mentor cloud engineers and developers and establish engineering best practices.
- Stay current with GCP services, cloud-native technologies, security practices, and industry trends.
