The work

We are looking for an experienced Cloud Engineer with deep hands on expertise in multi cloud environments and a strong emphasis on Google Cloud Platform. This role is highly technical and requires an engineer who can both implement cloud infrastructure and think at an architect level — designing scalable patterns, building automated deployment frameworks, and supporting enterprise AI workloads across multiple security domains and compliance boundaries. You will work heavily with custom software deployments, Docker-based workloads, Cloud Run, and eventually GKE, while ensuring infrastructure is automated, secure, compliant, and built via Terraform and CI/CD pipelines rather than console-driven operations. You're already a strong cloud practitioner who is naturally curious, self-driven, and comfortable exploring new services independently — including using AI tools to accelerate learning and design. This role supports deployments across Unclassified and Classified fabrics, requiring strict adherence to FedRAMP, Zero Trust, and cross-domain (CDS) requirements.

Responsibilities

Multi Cloud Infrastructure (GCP Focused) Provision and configure cloud resources with a strong emphasis on GCP (Cloud Run, Vertex AI, Artifact Registry, Secret Manager, IAM). Design scalable patterns for containerized workloads, beginning with Cloud Run and expanding to GKE as needed. Deploy and manage Docker-based applications across GCP and AWS GovCloud. Support AI workload hosting using Vertex AI (GCP) and Bedrock (AWS) in secure, multi-domain environments. Infrastructure as Code & DevOps Automation Build all infrastructure using Terraform (preferably modular patterns) and maintain automation-first standards. Write scripts to support deployment, automation, and operational workflows. Maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, etc.) for reproducible deployments across all security fabrics. Implement GitOps and DevOps best practices; avoid console based configuration. Secure, Classified, and Cross-Domain Cloud Operations Build and maintain cloud architectures spanning Unclassified and Classified environments with strict security boundaries.
