We are seeking a Lead Cloud Architect with deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to drive our multi-cloud strategy and modernize our IT landscape. This role will lead the design, development, and deployment of scalable cloud solutions, with a strong emphasis on GCP-native architectures , while supporting hybrid and Azure environments as needed.

  • Architect and implement secure, scalable infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform , including VPC design, interconnects, VPNs, service segmentation, and secure communication protocols.
  • Lead cloud migration initiatives from on-premises to GCP, minimizing disruption and aligning with business and technical requirements.
  • Establish governance frameworks to ensure compliance, security, and performance in regulated environments such as pharma and healthcare.
  • Drive FinOps practices by optimizing cloud costs and performance through tagging strategies, guardrails, and right-sizing of interconnects and egress patterns.
  • Automate infrastructure deployment using Terraform and GCP Deployment Manager , with secondary support for Azure ARM Templates.
  • Mentor junior staff, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and provide strategic guidance on GCP technologies and industry trends.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; typically requires 10+ years of relevant experience (less with Master's or Doctorate).

Critical Skills

  • Proven experience leading cloud architecture in GCP-centric environments , ideally within pharma, logistics, or supply chain sectors.
  • Deep expertise in GCP-native design principles , including containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), serverless computing, and microservices.
  • Strong proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform and GCP Deployment Manager.
  • Experience with CI / CD pipelines and cloud-native monitoring solutions.
  • Author and maintain GCP reference architectures and decision records for cloud networking and hybrid connectivity.
  • Implement guardrails, tagging / cost attribution, and right-sizing strategies with strong FinOps awareness
  • Knowledge of GxP compliance , data sovereignty, and operational resilience in pharma / healthcare contexts.
  • Strong understanding of cloud security controls, identity management, and networking fundamentals including SD-WAN, MPLS, VPN, and WAN design.
  • Experience standardizing telemetry (NetFlow, packet capture, metrics, traces, logs).

    • Preferred Certifications

  • Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect certification (required or equivalent).
  • Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification (AZ-305 or equivalent) is a plus.
