Job Summary

We are seeking a seasoned Senior / Principal Cloud Architect with strong expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Cloud Architecture, and Cloud Networking & Security to lead the architecture and modernization of secure, scalable, and cost-optimized cloud platforms.

Role Description

We are seeking a seasoned Senior / Principal Cloud Architect with strong expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Cloud Architecture, and Cloud Networking & Security to lead the architecture and modernization of secure, scalable, and cost-optimized cloud platforms.

The role requires experience designing enterprise cloud solutions in regulated environments, with responsibility across architecture, networking and security, infrastructure automation, landing zone design, and governance.

The successful candidate will bring working experience with Terraform, Landing Zone Architecture, and CI/CD, complemented by foundational exposure to Multi-Cloud, FinOps, and AI/GenAI Automation.

This is a senior technical leadership position requiring the ability to translate complex business and regulatory requirements into robust, production-grade cloud architectures while providing technical direction to engineering and architecture teams.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Architecture

• Lead end-to-end Cloud Architecture, from discovery and assessment through solution design, implementation, and production support.


• Architect enterprise solutions using Google Cloud Platform (GCP) while addressing scalability, resiliency, security, and operational requirements.


• Translate business and regulatory requirements across BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, and Government / Public Sector environments into secure and scalable cloud architectures.


• Produce architecture decision records, high-level and low-level designs, and executive-ready architecture blueprints.

Cloud Networking & Security

• Own Cloud Networking & Security architecture for enterprise cloud platforms, including secure connectivity, network segmentation, identity, access controls, encryption, security governance, and zero-trust principles.


• Design cloud platforms that meet the security and compliance requirements of regulated environments.


• Support alignment with applicable standards identified for engagements, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and government compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP.


• Provide technical leadership and guidance on secure cloud architecture decisions.

Landing Zone Architecture

• Design and build enterprise-grade Landing Zone Architecture covering organizational structures, identity, networking, security controls, governance, and guardrails.


• Establish scalable governance approaches appropriate for enterprise cloud adoption.


• Help standardize cloud foundations and reusable architectural patterns across engagements.

Infrastructure Automation & Delivery

• Develop modular and reusable infrastructure automation using Terraform.


• Integrate Terraform delivery with CI/CD practices to enable repeatable and governed cloud platform deployments.


• Establish reusable infrastructure patterns that improve delivery consistency and reduce manual provisioning effort.


• Contribute reusable cloud architecture and automation assets to engineering and architecture teams.

Multi-Cloud, FinOps & AI/GenAI Automation

• Apply foundational Multi-Cloud knowledge when supporting cloud architecture and integration requirements across environments.


• Incorporate FinOps principles into architectural decisions to improve cloud cost visibility, governance, and optimization.


• Apply foundational AI/GenAI Automation concepts to cloud assessment, solutioning, and automation opportunities.

Technical Leadership

• Act as a trusted technical advisor to client executives and internal stakeholders, communicating cloud solutions, architectural decisions, and transformation roadmaps.


• Mentor engineers and architects and promote reusable architecture and delivery practices.


• Support the development of standardized cloud approaches and accelerators.


• Balance business requirements, regulatory obligations, security controls, cost considerations, and technical architecture when recommending solutions.
