What You Will Do

The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services (ODJFS) is expanding its cloud capabilities and is seeking a motivated Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Administrator to support our growing presence in Google Cloud Platform. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the agency’s GCP environment from the ground up, working alongside experienced Azure professionals and Dev Ops engineers.

This role is ideal for someone with foundational GCP knowledge and a strong interest in infrastructure‑as‑code practices, especially Terraform. You’ll play a key role in validating and deploying Terraform‑based infrastructure, managing GCP resources, and supporting application teams as we build out our cloud‑native capabilities.

Duties include but are not limited to:

• Assist in provisioning and managing GCP resources such as Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, GKE (Kubernetes), Cloud Storage, IAM, and VPC networking
• Validate and troubleshoot Terraform modules and deployment plans provided by external teams
• Support CI/CD pipelines for GCP‑based applications using tools like Cloud Build, Git Hub Actions, or Azure Dev Ops
• Monitor GCP environments for performance, cost, and security using tools like Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and Security Command Center
• Help define and enforce naming conventions, tagging strategies, and IAM policies as standards evolve
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to support secure, scalable, and compliant cloud deployments
• Document procedures and contribute to the development of internal GCP best practices
• Manage Code repositories and build policies in GCP Secure Source Manager
• Support, administer and configure Dialogflow and Vertex AI related GCP services
• Confirm that Terraform scripts correctly define required GCP services (e.g., IAM roles, VPCs, service accounts, storage buckets) and follow agency‑approved configurations
• Collaborate with Dev Ops and cloud engineering teams to troubleshoot failed Terraform deployments and assist in root cause analysis
