Google Cloud Platform, Cloud Architect, Professional Cloud Architect, Migration, Remote

Project overview

For upcoming modernization projects with mid-sized companies in the DACH region, we are looking for experienced Google Cloud Architects (m/f/d) to join our expert pool. The work is 100% remote, and we welcome applications from anywhere in the world.

A typical project looks like this:

Starting point

An established business application (backend services, web portal in Angular, mobile app in Flutter) runs partly on-premise and partly with a hosting provider. The goal is a secure, scalable and cost-transparent target architecture on Google Cloud and a step-by-step migration without service interruption.

Responsibilities

• Assess the current architecture and non-functional requirements (availability, security, data protection, cost)
• Design the target architecture on GCP, including landing zone, resource hierarchy, networking and IAM
• Select the runtime platform (e.g. Cloud Run or GKE) and data storage (e.g. Cloud SQL, Firestore)
• Plan migration and releases together with the development teams
• Design and help set up CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring and logging
• Communicate architecture options transparently and present them to decision-making bodies
• Document architecture decisions and ensure they are implemented

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience as a cloud or solution architect, including at least 3 years with Google Cloud in production projects
• Hands-on experience with IAM, VPC design, Cloud Run or GKE, and Cloud SQL
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform
• Fluent English
• At least 4 hours of daily overlap with Central European Time (CET)
