Senior GCP Cloud Engineer – Engineering-Led Cloud Consultancy Location:  Remote (ET timezone preferred)

Salary:  $135,000 – $?195,000 + Equity Option

Type : Full-time | Permanent

Industry : Cloud, Data & AI Consulting

 

We’re working with an engineering-first consultancy that’s redefining how cloud, data, and AI solutions are delivered across enterprise environments. Their model is simple: empower exceptional engineers with the autonomy, tools, and trust to do impactful work—without the red tape.

 

They’re now looking for a  Senior GCP Cloud Enginee r to design and build secure, scalable infrastructure in Google Cloud, with a focus on automation, developer experience, and enabling AI/ML capabilities.

 

About the Role

You’ll lead the technical delivery of complex cloud platforms, combining infrastructure design with hands-on implementation. You’ll work closely with both internal teams and enterprise clients to architect GCP-native environments that enable scalability, automation, and modern development practices.

This isn’t a slide-deck role—you’ll be hands-on with tools like  Terraform, GKE, Vertex A I, and CI/CD pipelines, helping clients implement secure, production-grade systems.

 

What You'll Do
  • Lead Infrastructure Design & Deliver y – Architect and implement secure, scalable GCP environments using native services.
  • Build Developer-First Pipeline s – Design CI/CD systems that streamline code deployment and ensure security and observability by default.
  • Enable AI & ML Platform s – Support the implementation of services like  Vertex AI, Gemini, model servin g, and  vector store s, laying the cloud foundation for advanced AI workloads.
  • Own Kubernetes (GKE) Deployment s – Design and manage container orchestration with security, federation, and automation in mind.
  • Automate Infrastructur e – Use tools like  Terraform, CDKTF, and KC C to build immutable, version-controlled infrastructure.
  • Promote Best Practice s – Guide internal and client teams on cloud security, IaC, networking, and scalable system design.
  • Stay Curious & Share Knowledg e – Continuously explore new tools, patterns, and ideas—and contribute back through mentoring or internal sharing.

 

What We're Looking For
  • Deep expertise in  GCP service s including GKE, BigQuery, BigLake, DataFlow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, IAM, Workflows, Spanner.
  • Strong  Kubernete s background with experience managing GKE clusters, CRDs, IAM integrations, and job scheduling.
  • Mastery of  Infrastructure-as-Cod e tooling (Terraform, CDK, KCC, etc.).
  • Solid understanding of  network architectur e across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments.
  • Experience in  secure, regulated environment s (e.g., fintech, healthcare, enterprise).
  • Track record of building  secure SDL C pipelines (artifact scanning, signing, CI/CD frameworks).
  • Proficiency in  Python and/or Jav a.
  • Familiarity with  Policy-as-Cod e, observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana), and  cloud-native securit y best practices.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work across teams and with clients.
  • A continuous learning mindset and willingness to mentor others.

 

Why Join?
  • Engineer-Led Cultur e – Founded and run by engineers who understand the work and care deeply about quality.
  • High-Impact Project s – Partner with top-tier enterprise clients on complex, meaningful infrastructure challenges.
  • Remote-First Tea m – Work from anywhere in the US (ET timezone alignment preferred).
  • Flat Hierarch y – No middle management, no unnecessary meetings—just smart people solving real problems.
  • Equity Upsid e – Long-term incentive structure through phantom stock (4-year vesting, annual top-ups).

 

Compensation
  • Base Salary : $190,000 – $220,00
  • Equity Options : Phantom stock, 4-year vesting, annual top-up
  • Benefits : Full health coverage (medical, dental, vision), 401K with 4% match
