Job Title: GCP Architect

Location: Remote in Canada

Position Type: Contract

8+ years in cloud architecture roles, with at least 3 years specifically on Google Cloud Platform in anarchitect or lead capacity.

• Demonstrated experience designing and executing a live production migration from anotherhyperscaler (Azure or AWS) to GCP,
• Deep working knowledge of core GCP services relevant to this program: Cloud Run, Cloud SQL(PostgreSQL), Cloud Storage, Memorystore, Vertex AI, Cloud Load Balancing, VPC/Shared VPC, IAM,Secret Manager, Cloud Trace/Monitoring.
• Working knowledge of the equivalent Azure services being replaced: Azure OpenAI, Cosmos DB,Azure SQL Database, Blob Storage, Azure Cache for Redis, Application Insights.
• Experience with LLM-based application architectures, ideally including agent-orchestrationframeworks such as LangGraph, LangChain and familiarity with the practical differences betweenLLM providers (prompt behavior, JSON-output reliability, context-window/cost tradeoffs) whenmigrating between them.
• Experience designing data migration and dual-write/reconciliation strategies for production systemswith zero-downtime requirements.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred) and CI/CD orchestration (Harnesspreferred, or equivalent), sufficient to guide — not necessarily implement — the infrastructureengineering team.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills; comfortable presenting architecture trade-offs and risk toboth technical and business audiences at phase-gate reviews.
• Good to have Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect certification.
• Nice to have experience in evaluating or architecting with Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK),for informing future-state agent architecture decision
