Job Title:Site Reliability Engineer (Google Cloud Platform)

Pay Type: SALARIED EXEMPT

Location:Remote

Summary of Position Role/Responsibilities

The Site Reliability Engineer (Google Cloud Platform) is a hands-on engineering role focused on designing, operating, and securing GCP environments that protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for federal and regulated customers. This position applies to an SRE approach to build secure landing zones, network and identity controls, encryption, logging, and detection capabilities while using automation-first practices to ensure environments remain reliable, secure, and repeatable. The role owns provisioning, configuration, observability, and incident response for production GCP environments and reduces operational toil by codifying infrastructure rather than relying on manual console work. Success requires deep practical GCP expertise, working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, FedRAMP, and CMMC, and the ability to map security requirements to GCP configurations and audit-ready evidence. This position supports federal CUI environments and requires an active U.S. government Secret security clearance.

Essential Functions of the Job

• Design, build, and operate secure GCP cloud foundations and landing zones for federal and regulated environments, including organization hierarchy, policy guardrails, Assured Workloads, and Cloud Foundation Toolkit-based deployment patterns.
• Engineer and maintain secure GCP network architectures, including Shared VPC, hub-and-spoke topology, VPC Service Controls, Access Context Manager, Private Google Access, Private Service Connect, Cloud NGFW, Cloud Armor, load balancing, DNS, NAT, VPN, and Interconnect under least-exposure principles.
• Implement and administer identity, access, privileged access, and encryption controls, including least-privilege IAM, custom roles, IAM Conditions, deny policies, service-account hygiene, Workload Identity Federation, Privileged Access Manager, Access Approval, Access Transparency, BeyondCorp Enterprise, IAP, Cloud KMS, Cloud HSM, CMEK, and Cloud EKM.
• Develop and operate security monitoring, threat detection, and response capabilities using Chronicle/Google Security Operations, Security Command Center, curated detections, YARA-L, threat intelligence, SOAR playbooks, telemetry pipelines, and integration with MDR/SOC workflows.
• Build and maintain logging, audit, observability, and reliability capabilities using Cloud Audit Logs, aggregated log sinks, retention policies, BigQuery/Chronicle exports, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, dashboards, uptime checks, SLIs/SLOs, alerting, on-call operations, incident response, and blameless postmortems.
• Secure and operate cloud workloads and platforms, including Sensitive Data Protection/Cloud DLP for CUI discovery and de-identification, hardened GKE environments, Workload Identity, Shielded/Confidential nodes, network policy, GKE Policy Controller, Binary Authorization, and secure Artifact Registry image promotion.
• Automate infrastructure, security, compliance, and reliability operations using Terraform, Infrastructure Manager, Cloud Foundation Toolkit, policy-as-code, secure CI/CD pipelines, Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy, and scripting in Python, Go, or Bash to reduce manual work and operational toil.
• Translate federal security and compliance requirements into GCP configurations and audit-ready evidence, including NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, FedRAMP, CMMC, control inheritance, customer responsibility matrices, RMF/FedRAMP authorization support, and assessor/AO documentation.
• Partner directly with customers and internal stakeholders to communicate technical requirements, operational risks, compliance expectations, and implementation status to both technical and non-technical audiences.
