Senior Google Cloud Migration Architect — Hybrid

RONIN Dynamics; Sydney; Hybrid; AUD 170,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

RONIN Dynamics seeks a Principal Google Cloud Architect to drive complex migration strategies, hands-on delivery from Rehost to Refactor, and end-to-end architecture across Compute, Serverless, GKE, and Cloud Run. You will implement IaC/GitOps and guide AI/ML integration with Vertex AI/BigQuery, while mentoring engineers and aligning with client goals.

This role is based in Sydney with hybrid work, focusing on large, migration-heavy engagements rather than purely diagramming.

Qualifications

• Real commercial experience architecting and shipping on Google Cloud.
• Depth across Compute, Serverless, GKE, Cloud Run, networking, and data services.
• Terraform and GitOps fluency at the “clients can maintain this” level.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash; Vertex AI/BigQuery exposure is a plus.
• Professional Cloud Architect certs (or equivalent hands-on runway).
• Consulting instincts: run requirements sessions and defend proposals.
• Track record of delivering end-to-end builds.

Responsibilities

• Lead migration strategies: Rehost, Replatform, and Refactor onto GCP.
• Stay hands-on through go-live, not just the pitch deck.
• Select compute models per workload; avoid default choices.
• Develop IaC and GitOps pipelines clients can own after you leave.
• Incorporate AI/ML with Vertex AI and BigQuery pipelines.
• Translate technical trade-offs into a narrative executives will approve.
• Mentor engineers and raise the team’s capabilities.
