Cloud Engineer III

Description

Position Summary

We are seeking a Platform Engineer III to lead the design, engineering, and security of enterprise-scale Google Cloud platforms, with a focus on enabling and protecting AI-enabled workloads. This role is responsible for building the underlying GCP foundation that AI systems depend on—including landing zones, networking, identity, data protection, and controlled access to services such as Vertex AI and Gemini. You will define how these services are securely consumed across the organization, ensuring strong governance, isolation, and compliance. You will help architect and enforce secure connectivity patterns, private access to AI services, API and endpoint protection, data security controls, and policy-driven access models. These standards will be embedded into Terraform-based infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines to ensure consistency and scalability.

The focus of this role is to make AI workloads production-ready, auditable, and secure at scale.
