Google Cloud Platform Network Admin

Role: Google Cloud Platform Network Admin

Location: 100% Remote

Duration: Long-Term
• Design and deploy Google Cloud Platform network architectures including VPCs, subnets, firewalls, Cloud NAT, VPNs, Interconnect, and Private Service Connect.
• Develop and maintain Terraform modules to automate network provisioning and configuration.
• Collaborate with cloud architects, security teams, and application owners to define networking requirements and implement best practices.
• Ensure network security, compliance, and performance optimization across Google Cloud Platform environments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve network-related issues in Google Cloud Platform environments.
• Integrate network automation into CI/CD pipelines and change management workflows.
• Document network designs, Terraform modules, and operational procedures.
• Stay current with Google Cloud Platform networking innovations and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
• Design reusable, versioned Terraform modules following best practices (DRY, least privilege, environment isolation) and enforce standards using Terraform Cloud / Terraform Enterprise or CI-based validations.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) governance using policy-as-code (Sentinel / OPA), automated validations, and drift detection.
• Architect and implement end-to-end cloud network solutions aligned with business, security, and scalability requirements across multi-project and multi-environment Google Cloud Platform setups.
• Design and support networking for GCE workloads, including custom images, service accounts, startup scripts, load balancing, and secure access patterns.
• Architect and manage GKE networking including VPC-native clusters, IP aliasing, private clusters, ingress/egress design, Workload Identity, and integration with Cloud Load Balancing.
• Automate provisioning and lifecycle management of GKE and GCE resources using Terraform and integrate with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, etc.).
• Design hybrid and multi-cloud network architectures, including on-prem connectivity, DNS integration, and identity-aware access patterns.
• Implement network observability and monitoring using Cloud Monitoring, VPC Flow Logs, Network Intelligence Center, and integrate alerts into operational workflows.
• Drive secure-by-design architectures, embedding zero-trust principles, least-privilege IAM, private access patterns, and segmentation across compute and container platforms.
• Optimize network and platform cost, performance, and reliability, including right-sizing, load balancing strategies, and traffic optimization fE and GKE.
• Provide technical leadership and review solution designs, Terraform PRs, and architecture proposals to ensure consistency and compliance with enterprise standards.
• Support platform scalability and resilience through high-availability and disaster recovery designs for compute and containerized workloads.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to internal architecture standards, reference designs, and runbooks related to Google Cloud Platform networking, Terraform, and Kubernetes.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams by guiding architecture decisions, reviewing Terraform and network designs, driving best practices, and enabling consistent, highquality cloud solutions across teams.
