Principal Duties & Responsibilities
Overview
Lead GCP cloud architecture workstreams within large advisory and transformation programs, owning the design and delivery of architecture outcomes end-to-end. Act as the primary day-to-day architecture advisor to client VP and Director-level technology stakeholders — running architecture design sessions, facilitating trade-off decisions, and maintaining the architecture decision log. Own the detailed design of GCP Cloud Foundation Blueprints, Resource Hierarchy configurations, Organisation Policies, and IAM frameworks.
Lead the design of cloud security architecture for client engagements — developing Zero Trust network designs, IAM and access governance models, VPC Service Controls, Security Command Center configurations, and CMEK encryption frameworks across client GCP environments.
Lead FinOps workstreams — building financial governance frameworks, developing multi-year GCP cost models, designing chargeback and showback mechanisms, and identifying Committed Use Discount and rightsizing opportunities using GCP Billing and the Recommender API.
Own the IaC and platform engineering architecture for client engagements — defining standards and patterns using Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager, and Config Connector, and designing the governance model that ensures consistent infrastructure delivery. Lead the design of observability architectures using Google Cloud Operations Suite and third-party platforms such as Datadog and Dynatrace.
Contribute across adjacent areas — designing the cloud infrastructure that enables AI and agentic workloads using Vertex AI, Gemini on GCP, and Google Agentspace; providing cloud architecture inputs to Tech Modernization engagements including GKE and Cloud-native patterns; applying resilience architecture patterns to Technology Resiliency workstreams; and advising on ecosystem decisions covering Google Cloud partner network, ISV/MSP selection, and CUD commercial models.
Support business development through proposal contributions, cloud architecture solutioning, and client presentations. Identify and shape follow-on engagement opportunities. Contribute to reusable assets, reference architectures, and points of view that strengthen the practice's cloud architecture advisory capability.
