Cloud infrastructure and application architecture are the twin engines of enterprise transformation. Google Cloud enables mid-market clients to build secure, scalable cloud foundations while modernizing monolithic legacy systems into cloud-native microservices and containerized environments. Our clients need agile, execution-focused leaders who can design production-ready platform foundations, migrate complex workloads, modernize applications, and automate delivery pipelines to rapidly unlock scale and business value.
You are the single point of accountability for client engagement delivery, spanning cloud infrastructure, landing zones, application modernizations, and migration programs. You shape the execution strategy, guide technical teams, review PRs and IaC, and direct dedicated offshore engineering teams who build alongside you. You balance hands-on technical depth across Terraform, GKE, Apigee, VPC design, and microservices with delivery governance to ship production-grade solutions in weeks, not quarters.
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
