Cloud Engineer / Remote / PST Only / Short term Contract

A global enterprise is retiring a legacy data-integration tool (SnapLogic) and rebuilding that capability natively on Google Cloud Platform. We're looking for a hands-on DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to help stand up new regional landing zones and build the reusable, standards-based infrastructure templates that internal teams will self-serve to onboard new workloads.

The architecture pattern is already established - your focus is building and implementing it to standard, not inventing it. The first implementation supports a manufacturing business domain, and the pattern you help build becomes the standard for future onboarding.

This is a build role for someone who is currently in the weeds, not an advisory or architecture-only seat.
What You'll Do

• Build and configure Google Cloud Platform landing zones across multiple regions (Germany, Japan, and the EU), with data-residency requirements as a first-class constraint.
• Develop reusable Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) modules and templates that internal teams can spin up and self-serve in their own environments.
• Implement the Google Cloud Platform-native infrastructure that replaces the retiring data-integration tooling.
• Apply established architecture standards and patterns consistently across regions.
• Configure Google Cloud Platform networking, IAM, and security guardrails to enable least-privilege, self-service provisioning.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure delivery.
• Document templates and standards for downstream implementation teams.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Strong, current, hands-on Google Cloud Platform experience - this is a build role.
• Production-grade Terraform (or equivalent IaC), including reusable module/template design for self-service consumption.
• Solid Google Cloud Platform networking and IAM (custom roles, service accounts, least-privilege design).
• Multi-region deployment experience with an understanding of data-residency / data-sovereignty controls.
• CI/CD for infrastructure.
• Ability to work independently against an established pattern and deliver within a short, focused engagement.

Nice-to-Have

• Google Cloud Platform data-integration / pipeline services (Dataflow, Cloud Composer/Airflow, Pub/Sub, Data Fusion).
• Familiarity with SnapLogic or similar iPaaS/ETL tooling (helpful for understanding what's being replaced).
• Experience supporting manufacturing or other compliance-sensitive domains.
• Exposure to EU and/or Japan data-protection requirements.

Engagement Details

• Type: Contract
• Duration: 3-4 months
• Location: Remote
• Level: Mid-to-senior hands-on individual contributor
