Job Description

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly experienced GCP Cloud Migration Architect to lead comprehensive cloud migration initiatives. This critical role requires guiding application placement strategies across diverse enterprise infrastructures, prioritizing Google Cloud while objectively evaluating AWS Cloud and on-premises Private Cloud targets. You will drive the end-to-end lifecycle, from initial asset discovery to the establishment of a scalable migration factory.

Strategic & Architectural Responsibilities:

• Infrastructure & Application Discovery: Conduct deep-dive assessments to right-size infrastructure, optimize storage tiers, analyze licensing, and map complex application dependencies.

• Foundation & Blueprinting: Develop a GCP Cloud Foundation Reference & Best Practices document and perform GAP analyses against current client foundations to establish a target-state Blueprint.

• High-Level & Detailed Architecture: Design robust Target State application architectures, establishing core foundation constructs for compute, storage, networking, identity management, logging, high availability (HA), and disaster recovery (DR).

Execution & Operations (xOps):

• Migration Factory & Operating Model: Design and implement a scalable, wave-based Migration Factory, defining Pod/Squad operating structures and execution governance for automated VM and container migrations.

• xOps & Financial Governance: Develop a comprehensive xOps (CloudOps, FinOps, SecOps) Blueprint, incorporating pricing models, macro-level runtime cost estimates, and targeted adoption of Google's RAMP program.

• Advanced CI/CD & AI Tooling: Roll out complete DevSecFinOps pipelines utilizing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to automate environment provisioning. Integrate modern, AI-driven testing frameworks to validate application functionality continuously throughout the migration lifecycle.

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years of proven enterprise experience in software engineering, delivery leadership, and global cloud infrastructure.

• Deep expertise in GCP cloud-native services (Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Storage, VPC, IAM, Cloud SQL/Spanner), alongside practical multi-cloud architecture mapping across AWS and GCP.

• Hands-on experience developing sophisticated IaC (Terraform) configurations, DevSecFinOps CI/CD pipelines, and integrating AI testing solutions.

• GCP Professional Cloud Architect or Cloud DevOps Engineer certification preferred; secondary multi-cloud certifications (such as the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional) are highly advantageous for application placement evaluations.

• Ability to create migration roadmaps, target architectures, and technical documentation.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
