About the Role
As a Google Cloud Architect & Lead Platform Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of enterprise architecture, zero-trust security governance, and deep, hands-on platform engineering. You will take end-to-end ownership of designing, securing, and building ~15 core platform component solutions ahead of a major January go-live.
Responsibilities
- Take end-to-end ownership for designing, documenting, and building ~15 enterprise-grade platform component solutions.
- Partner directly with enterprise security architects to incorporate threat-modeling feedback, enforce secure-by-default standards, and guide architecture through formal governance controls.
- Design and provision resilient, scalable GCP foundations leveraging GKE, Cloud Run, Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE), Compute Engine, and enterprise VPC topologies.
- Architect and deploy production-ready Terraform modules using GitOps methodologies, Cloud Foundation Fabric patterns, and automated delivery frameworks.
- Design robust, automated build/release workflows using GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy, and custom Python/Bash automation.
- Implement comprehensive telemetry, auditability, and operational visibility across GKE and GCP workloads.
Requirements
- Demonstrated track record acting as a Senior/Staff Cloud Architect or Principal Platform Engineer leading enterprise-scale GCP implementations.
- Proven ability to balance high-level architectural design with deep execution—writing production-grade Terraform, configuring network topologies, and debugging complex platform pipelines.
- Expertise in zero-trust architecture, GCP IAM policies, KMS/Secret Manager, Workload Identity, and enterprise network security controls.
- Mastery of Terraform (modular architecture/state management), GitOps, GitHub Actions, and scripting (Python/Bash).
- Ability to produce clear, structured solution design documents (SDDs) and architectural diagrams.
- Professional Google Cloud Certification required (e.g., Professional Cloud Architect, Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, or Professional Cloud Security Engineer).
- Applicants will need valid Australian work rights.
- May be required to undergo relevant background, probity and police checks.
