Who you'll be:

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Engineer with a deep understanding of multi-cloud environments, with a strong emphasis on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This technical role requires the ability to implement cloud infrastructure while also thinking at an architect level, designing scalable patterns, building automated deployment frameworks, and supporting enterprise AI workloads across multiple security domains and compliance boundaries.

What you'll do:

  • Provision and configure cloud resources with a strong emphasis on GCP (Cloud Run, Vertex AI, Artifact Registry, Secret Manager, IAM).
  • Design scalable patterns for containerized workloads, beginning with Cloud Run and expanding to GKE as needed.
  • Deploy and manage Docker-based applications across GCP and AWS GovCloud.
  • Support AI workload hosting using Vertex AI (GCP) and Bedrock (AWS) in secure, multi-domain environments.
  • Build all infrastructure using Terraform (preferably modular patterns) and maintain automation-first standards.
  • Write scripts to support deployment, automation, and operational workflows.
  • Maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, etc.) for reproducible deployments across all security fabrics.
  • Implement GitOps and DevOps best practices; avoid console-based configuration.
  • Build and maintain cloud architectures spanning Unclassified and Classified environments with strict security boundaries.
  • Implement and troubleshoot cross-domain solutions (CDS), secure data transfer patterns, and enclave-specific configurations.
  • Ensure Zero Trust-aligned configurations for each security domain.
  • Support FedRAMP compliance and ATO-related activities for multi-domain deployments.
  • Design enterprise-grade cloud patterns that scale beyond prototypes, including multi-tenant environments, reusable modules, structured network segmentation, and standardized deployment frameworks.
  • Configure VPC networking, IAM policies, access controls, and segmentation strategies across multiple clouds and domains.
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure platform reliability, security, and performance.
  • Support cloud migration activities transitioning on-prem systems into multi-cloud architectures hosting AI workloads.
  • Collaborate closely with Cloud Solution Architects, DevOps Engineers, Data Engineers, and AI Developers.
  • Explore and learn new cloud services proactively; identify which services best support architectural and business goals.
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate learning, analysis, troubleshooting, and ideation.
  • Document architecture, configurations, runbooks, operational procedures, and cross-domain designs.

What you'll need:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of hands-on cloud engineering experience.
  • Strong delivery experience on GCP, plus working knowledge of AWS GovCloud.
  • Expertise in deploying Docker-based custom software at scale.
  • Strong Terraform engineering capability.
  • CI/CD-first mindset; comfortable designing DevOps patterns end-to-end.
  • Comfort working in secure, regulated, and cross-domain environments.
