Location:

Charlotte, NC / ONSITE
Duration:
Long Term Project

Experience:

14+

We are looking for a Cloud Network Architect to design and oversee the nervous system of our Google Cloud environment. You will be responsible for connecting our physical offices to the cloud and ensuring our applications can talk to each other securely and at high speeds.

• Virtual Private Cloud VPC Design:
  Create the private network bubbles where our data lives. Decide how to segment different parts of the business so a problem in one area doesn’t spread to another.
• Hybrid Connectivity:
  Manage the bridge between our current servers and Google Cloud. Set up high‑speed connections like Cloud Interconnect or Cloud VPN so data moves seamlessly during the migration.
• Traffic Control Load Balancing:
  Design how we handle millions of users at once, ensuring they are automatically routed to the healthiest and closest server.
• Network Security:
  Work with the IAM and Security teams to set up Cloud Armor to stop hackers and firewalls to control who can enter the network.
• Cost Optimization:
  Monitor how data moves to ensure we aren’t being charged unnecessary hidden fees for data traveling between different regions or out to the internet.

• Networking Specialist:
  Understand the old world of networking cables, routers, and switches, and the new world of software‑defined networking in the cloud.
• GCP Network Expert:
  Deep knowledge of Google specific tools like Shared VPCs, Cloud DNS, and Service Directory.
• Troubleshooter:
  When a system is slow or an app can’t see a database, you are the person who can trace the path and find the bottleneck.
• Security‑First Mindset:
  You treat every connection as a potential risk and build Zero Trust networks that verify everything.
