Job Description

As a Google Cloud Platform Engineer at NCS (Google Cloud Solutions Group), you will work hands-on, designing, documenting, securing, and building critical enterprise platform component solutions leading into our January go-live.

While our existing team is exceptionally capable, this role specifically addresses an urgent need for deep Google Cloud expertise to bridge a solution design capability gap. You will take ownership of designing and building approximately 15 core platform components—ranging from secrets management to advanced CI/CD pipelines—ensuring every design aligns with enterprise security architecture, incorporates security feedback, and supports a secure-by-default, zero-trust approach.

Key Responsibilities & Project Focus

- Component Solution Design & Documentation: Design, document, secure, and build approximately 15 distinct platform component solutions ahead of the January go-live milestone. Produce high-quality design documentation that defines best practices and guides the broader engineering team.

- Security Architecture & Governance:



Work closely with security architects to incorporate feedback, evolve designs, and successfully navigate solutions through the enterprise security review process.

- Core Platform Build: Design, deploy, and maintain secure, scalable GCP solutions and services (e.g., Cloud Run, GKE, Google Cloud VMware Engine, Compute Engine).

- Infrastructure as Code & GitOps: Build and manage enterprise-level IaC using Terraform delivered via a GitOps methodology.

- Modern CI/CD & Automation: Implement and optimize end-to-end automation pipelines using GitHub and GitHub Actions, alongside Python or Bash scripting.

- Observability & Service Mesh: Implement robust observability tooling (such as Current Relic, forthcoming OpenTelemetry adoption, and service-mesh solutions) to ensure deep telemetry and operational visibility.

- Cloud Networking & Security: Architect secure cloud network topologies (VPCs, subnets, firewalls, load balancing, DNS) while applying rigorous threat-mitigation techniques.
