GCP Cloud Migration Architect

Austin Texas (Local needed or ready to relocate )

Telecom domain Experience is Preferred

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to lead the architecture and execution of a production migration from Microsoft Azure or AWS to Google Cloud Platform (GCP ). The ideal candidate will combine deep GCP architecture expertise with hands‑on experience in hyperscaler migrations, LLM-based application architectures, data migration strategies, and production cutovers with zero‑downtime requirements.

The architect will work closely with application, data, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to define the target‑state architecture, manage migration risks, and guide implementation teams through phased delivery and production readiness reviews.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and execution of production migrations from Azure or AWS to GCP.
• Design scalable, secure, resilient, and cost-effective GCP architectures aligned with business and application requirements.
• Define migration strategies for applications, databases, storage, caching, AI services, monitoring, and networking.
• Architect zero‑downtime data migration approaches, including dual‑write patterns, data reconciliation, validation, rollback, and cutover strategies.
• Design and evaluate LLM‑based application architectures, including provider transitions and agent‑orchestration frameworks.
• Guide infrastructure engineering teams on Infrastructure‑as‑Code, CI/CD orchestration, deployment sequencing, and operational readiness.
• Assess technical trade‑offs, dependencies, risks, and migration options, presenting recommendations to technical and business stakeholders.
• Lead architecture reviews and phase‑gate discussions, ensuring that migration decisions meet reliability, security, performance, and business continuity requirements.
• Evaluate emerging Google Cloud agent technologies, including the Agent Development Kit (ADK), to inform future‑state architecture decisions.
