• Communicate with client stakeholders to understand and articulate the business criticality of legacy systems being modernized.
• Collaborate with distributed engineering teams within a fully GCP-based environment.

• 8+ years of experience in cloud architecture with GCP.
• Proven experience in application modernization, re-architecting legacy or mainframe-class systems into Java, Go, or .NET on modern cloud platforms.
• Strong background in data architecture on GCP including BigQuery and data pipeline design.
• Consulting or professional services background with project-based, client-facing delivery experience.
• Experience with AI engineering practices such as harness engineering or spec-driven design.
• Strong requirements gathering skills.
