Google Cloud Architect (Infrastructure)
We are looking for a Cloud Architect who can design and implement scalable, production-grade systems on Google Cloud — and be technically credible in front of demanding clients.
You will work at the intersection of architecture, implementation, and customer trust. This is not a pure DevOps role and not a slide-deck architect role. It’s hands-on architecture with ownership.
Your mission
- Design and implement cloud-native architectures on GCP
- Turn business and system requirements into secure, scalable infrastructure and platform designs
- Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the customer’s GCP journey
- Support presales with feasibility, scoping, and architecture validation
- Work closely with Engineers, Tech Leads, and Solution Architects to ensure designs survive real-world delivery
- Stay current with GCP evolution and translate new capabilities into practical solutions
- Designing infrastructure and platform blueprints (networking, IAM, compute, data, containers)
- Reviewing Terraform and CI/CD setups
- Debugging architecture-level bottlenecks
- Explaining trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Joining presales calls to validate solution direction
- Helping delivery teams make pragmatic decisions under constraints
What we expect from your background
- 7+ years of hands-on cloud / DevOps / platform engineering experience
- Strong practical experience with Google Cloud (certification preferred)
- Solid understanding of containerization, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, and infrastructure as code
- Comfort with networking, security, IAM, Linux systems
- Experience with distributed systems and microservice architectures
- Ability to reason about system trade-offs (cost, performance, operability)
- Clear communication skills with both engineers and clients in English
What makes you strong in this role
- You take ownership — you don’t wait to be told what’s broken
- You prefer solving root causes over patching symptoms
- You enjoy enabling others and raising technical standards
- You are pragmatic — you know when “perfect” is the enemy of “delivered”
- You stay curious and keep learning
Nice to have
- Exposure to AWS, Azure, or multi-cloud setups
Experience in data platforms, ML infrastructure, or large-scale systems - Contributions to reusable patterns, accelerators, or internal knowledge sharing
What makes this role at Aliz different
- You work with some of the most experienced GCP engineers in the region
- You collaborate directly with Google Professional Services on selected engagements
- You operate in a flat, low-bureaucracy environment
- You work on non-trivial, international projects
- Learning is part of the job, not something you squeeze in after hours
Why people stay
- Strong engineering culture
- Real autonomy
- International exposure
- High technical bar
- Flexible working model
