Proven design of large-scale GCP network topologies Shared VPC, VPC Peering, and hub-and-spoke fabrics and migration toward Network Connectivity Center (NCC). Strong command of hybrid connectivity: Cloud Interconnect / Cross-Cloud Interconnect (to Azure), Cloud Router, and BGP routing. Expertise in IPAM, routing design, DNS, and DMZ / egress-inspection architectures (e.g., Palo Alto). Ability to author HLD/LLD design documentation and lead design reviews through to architecture sign-off. Experience planning wave-based production cutovers and rollback strategies for high-risk network changes. Excellent stakeholder-management, workshop-facilitation, and communication skills. Preferred Qualifications Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer and/or Professional Cloud Architect certification. Direct experience implementing NCC (hub, spokes, route tables, hybrid attachments). Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code fluency for network automation. Multi-cloud networking (GCP Azure) and enterprise egress / security-inspection design. Experience in large, regulated, enterprise-scale (e.g., retail) environments. Core Technology Environment Google Cloud networking Network Connectivity Center (NCC), Shared VPC, VPC Peering, Cloud Router, Cloud Interconnect / Cross-Cloud Interconnect to Azure, BGP, IPAM, and Cloud DNS; DMZ / Palo Alto egress inspection; hub-and-spoke and hybrid-connectivity fabrics; and Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code for network automation. ## Description Serves as the lead network architect for transition from a VPC Peering hub-and-spoke topology to a Google Cloud Network Connectivity Center (NCC) fabric. Oversees the planning, execution, and delivery of the network-focused NCC program, ensuring alignment with business goals, timelines, and budget. Owns the NCC target-state design across hub/spoke fabric, hybrid connectivity (including Cross-Cloud Interconnect to Azure), IPAM, routing, and DMZ insertion delivering a scalable, self-service connectivity model that removes VPC Peering scaling limits while preserving existing security inspection and egress controls., Lead discovery workshops and requirements gathering with network and application stakeholders. Own current-state analysis VPC Peering limits, Cross-Cloud Interconnect VLANs, DMZ / Palo Alto egress, IPAM, and routing exceptions. Assess cross-cloud interconnects to Azure, Azure coordination requirements, and BGP routing validation; evaluate the DNS roadmap and integration. Assess compatibility of the current-state environment with NCC prerequisites, dependencies, and readiness criteria. Design the target NCC architecture: hub/spoke fabric, hybrid connectivity, IPAM, routing, DMZ insertion, and extensibility. Prepare and deliver NCC education workshop(s) for teams. Author the Technical Design Document (HLD/LLD) and drive design reviews, iteration, and architecture sign-off with. Engage Google product/engineering on platform limits and roadmap. Provide architectural direction into Terraform IaC module structure, the migration Method of Procedure (MOP), pilot, and production cutover wave sequencing. Guide high-risk central events Hub VPC + CCI/Azure cutover and DMZ / Palo Alto egress cutover and the legacy VPC Peering decommission. Ensure the delivered model is self-service, preserves existing security inspection and egress controls, and stays aligned to scope, timeline, and budget. Primary Deliverables Current-state analysis findings. Target NCC architecture design (hub/spoke fabric, hybrid connectivity, IPAM, routing, DMZ insertion). Technical Design Document (HLD/LLD). NCC education workshop materials. Cutover program / wave plan and per-BU readiness (jointly with the engineering team). ## Related Videos - [Demystifying application networking in the cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/675-demystifying-application-networking-in-the-cloud) - [Bitcoin SV: The Massively Scaled Blockchain to Meet Developer Needs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/20-bitcoin-sv-the-massively-scaled-blockchain-to-meet-developer-needs) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Transforming Education: A Journey from interactive Markdown to Remote-Labs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/941-transforming-education-a-journey-from-interactive-markdown-to-remote-labs) - [P2P networks in Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/209-p2p-networks-in-blockchain) - [Terraform for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/3-terraform-for-developers) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
