Work you'll do:
As a Google Cloud (GCP) Infrastructure & Security Lead Architect, you will serve as a strategic technical leader and trusted advisor for our enterprise clients, guiding them through complex cloud transformation journeys. In this role, you will bridge the gap between high-level business objectives and deep technical execution, focusing on building scalable, highly available, and deeply secure cloud environments.
You will be responsible for the end-to-end design and implementation of foundational cloud architectures, from establishing secure multi-tenant landing zones and robust networking topologies to guiding application migration strategies. A critical component of this role is embedding security by design-leveraging Google Cloud's advanced security portfolio to protect workloads, secure data, and maintain continuous compliance against evolving cyber threats. You will collaborate closely with development, operations, and security teams to foster a culture of automation and DevSecOps excellence.
Responsibilities include:
Architect and deploy highly scalable, multi-tenant GCP landing zones utilizing structured resource hierarchies (Organizations, Folders, Projects) tailored to client governance and billing requirements.
Design centralized identity and access strategies leveraging Google Cloud Identity, Single Sign-On (SSO), and role-based access control (RBAC). Implement Context-Aware Access and the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) to secure human and machine identities.
Standardize and automate the deployment of cloud infrastructure using Terraform. Develop modular, reusable infrastructure code to ensure consistent, repeatable, and auditable environment provisioning.
Design and implement robust network topologies, including Shared VPCs, Hub-and-Spoke models, and isolated subnets to control traffic flow and minimize the blast radius of potential incidents.
Architect highly available and secure connections between on-premises data centers and Google Cloud using Dedicated/Partner Interconnect or High Availability (HA) Cloud VPN.
Secure inbound and outbound traffic flows by implementing Cloud Armor for WAF and DDoS protection, hierarchical firewall policies, and VPC Service Controls to prevent data exfiltration.
Evaluate existing on-premises or multi-cloud legacy workloads to define optimal migration blueprints, utilizing industry-standard patterns.
Architect and deploy highly scalable, multi-tenant GCP platform utilizing structured resource hierarchies (Organizations, Folders, Projects) tailored to client governance and billing requirements.
Guide development teams in modernizing applications by adopting GCP managed services, serverless computing (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions), and container orchestration platforms (Google Kubernetes Engine - GKE).
Collaborate with data architects to ensure real-time streaming and batch ingestion pipelines (e.g., Pub/Sub, Dataflow, BigQuery) are architected with strict security boundaries and encryption standards.
Integrate and tune Google Cloud Security Command Center (SCC Premium) to provide unified visibility into misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and active threats.
Architect strategies for data security at rest and in transit using Cloud KMS (including Customer-Managed Encryption Keys), GCP Secret Manager, and Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
Develop and implement organization policies and Google Cloud Policy Library rules to establish automated security guardrails that prevent non-compliant resource deployments.

Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a closely related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
7-10+ years of hands-on experience in cloud architecture, infrastructure engineering, or cloud security, with a significant portion of that time dedicated to Google Cloud Platform environments.
Strong practical experience writing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, alongside familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Cloud Build).
Proven track record of participating in/or leading enterprise-scale cloud migrations and modernizing legacy infrastructure.
Ability to travel up to 50% based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve.
Limited immigration sponsorship may be available.
Preferred Qualifications:
12+ years of comprehensive experience in cloud migration and security architecture, particularly in consulting, professional services, or client-facing advisory roles.
Active status as a Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect or Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer.
Recognized cybersecurity certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or CISM.
Deep expertise in securing containerized workloads, Kubernetes (GKE) clusters, and microservice meshes (e.g., Anthos/Google Cloud Service Mesh).
Strong ability to align technical designs with compliance frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53, CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR.
Wages + Salary
The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled. At Deloitte, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is $141,200 to $278,300.
You may also be eligible to participate in a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing the program, whereby an award, if any, depends on various factors, including, without limitation, individual and organizational performance.
