GCP Cloud Architect / GCP Cloud Engineer

Description

Job Summary: Join a high-impact project at a leading technological engineering firm, actively participating in defining modern cloud architectures on Google Cloud Platform. Key Highlights: 1. High-impact project at a leading technological engineering firm 2. Definition of modern cloud architectures on Google Cloud Platform 3. End-to-end visibility of solutions in highly critical environments DESCRIPTION You will join a high-impact project within one of Spain’s top technological engineering firms—recognized for developing solutions across sectors including defense, space, IT, transportation, and ATM—and involved in strategic projects worldwide. You will become part of an environment where cloud transformation is not theoretical but an operational reality applied to critical systems, participating in initiatives that set international benchmarks within their respective sectors. The role extends beyond implementation: you will actively contribute to defining modern cloud architectures on Google Cloud Platform, making technical decisions with direct business impact. You will work with advanced services such as GKE, BigQuery, and Cloud Functions, designing distributed, secure, and cost-optimized solutions in a context marked by high technical complexity and constant challenge. You will have end\-to\-end visibility of solutions—from requirements gathering through production deployment and evolution—collaborating with multidisciplinary teams in demanding, highly critical environments. Additionally, you will contribute to deployment automation, continuous platform improvement, and architectural standard definition. This is an opportunity to position yourself at the design layer within the cloud ecosystem, consolidating an architecturally oriented profile through real-world projects with scale, impact, and international reach. **Hybrid model (50% remote / 50% on-site)** * Combined remote and on-site work * Workplace: Miguel Yuste area (Madrid) * Structured corporate environment REQUIREMENTS Solid experience with **Google Cloud Platform (minimum 2\-3 years)** * Design and implementation of solutions using **Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Functions** * Experience with **containers and Kubernetes orchestration (GKE)** * Practical knowledge of **distributed architectures and microservices** * Hands-on experience with **Infrastructure as Code (Terraform required)** * Deployment automation (CI/CD using Cloud Build, GitLab CI, or similar) * Knowledge of **GCP data services**: BigQuery, Cloud Storage * Experience in **data-oriented solution modeling (analytics / basic ingestion)** * Cloud security: * Identity management (**IAM**) * Networking (**VPC, subnets, firewall rules**) * Security best practices and compliance * Experience in **monitoring and observability**: * Cloud Operations (Stackdriver) * Logging, metrics, and alerts * Experience in **real production environments** (not just labs or training projects) ### **Desirable Requirements (differentiators)** * Experience in **cloud migrations (lift \& shift / modernization)** * Multi\-cloud knowledge (AWS or Azure) * Experience in **cost optimization (basic FinOps)** * GCP certifications (Associate or Professional) * Experience in enterprise / consulting environments
