GCP/GKE owns the end-to-end architecture of cloud-native application solutions on Google Cloud Platform, with a primary focus on application architecture and modernization, supported by strong expertise in Kubernetes (GKE).
The role combines hands-on architectural leadership with client advisory, governance, and team enablement.
Architecture Ownership: Define and govern target architectures, non-functional requirements, and technology trade-offs across application, data, integration, and platform layers.
Application Modernization (Core Focus): Design microservices-based systems (Java, Node.js, Python), REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and guide cloud migration (re-platforming, refactoring, re-architecting).
GCP & GKE Architecture: Architect scalable, secure GKE platforms, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud integrations using Pub/Sub and messaging.
Client Advisory: Translate business needs into architectural roadmaps, lead design reviews, support pre-sales, and act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders.
Governance & Enablement: Establish standards and reusable patterns, mentor architects and tech leads, and drive architectural consistency across programs.

Senior candidate with 15 plus years related experience.
A senior architect with strong GCP hands-on experience, deep application architecture background.
Architect-level Kubernetes knowledge, experience with APIs, data (BigQuery, Cloud SQL), messaging, and exposure to DevOps/DevSecOps.
The role demands leadership across multiple teams, client-facing communication, and ownership of architectural outcomes-not just implementation.
