    Description

    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.

    The Role:

    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.

    What You'll Do:

    • Own delivery end-to-end: Serve as the single point of accountability for scope, schedule, engineering quality, platform security, and business outcomes across infrastructure and application modernization workstreams.

    • Design execution approaches: Define migration waves, application refactoring patterns (e.g., strangler-fig), infrastructure deployment cadences, and team structures to minimize risk and maximize velocity.

    • Provide technical advisory: Guide client leadership and technical teams on GCP landing zones, container orchestration, microservice architectures, API gateways, security controls, and cloud operational models.

    • Lead cross-border delivery teams: Coordinate onshore client engagement leadership with offshore engineering teams to set priorities, clear blockers, review code/modules, and maintain delivery pace.

    • Drive rapid time-to-value: Stand up delivery immediately post-sale to deploy platform foundations, migrate workloads, and refactor applications in weeks rather than quarters.

    • Enforce technical governance: Establish automated deployment guardrails, CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, SRE alerting, and operational readiness checkpoints.

    Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
