GCP Architect

This is a remote position. GCP Cloud Architect Project Description Healthcare data platform modernization on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Cloud Healthcare API / FHIR . The platform will support clinical data ingestion from on-premises systems, healthcare data processing and analytics through BigQuery , and secure API access for EMRs, partners, government agencies, and patient-facing applications. The architect will own end-to-end cloud architecture, including networking, security, data pipelines, API integration, Infrastructure as Code, observability, resilience, and DR. Responsibilities • Lead architecture workshops with client and partner stakeholders. • Design and document end-to-end GCP architecture and target-state solutions. • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams. • Architect data ingestion and processing using Dataflow, Healthcare API/FHIR, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Firestore, and Redis . • Design analytics architecture using BigQuery and GCS . • Design and secure FHIR Store and Consent API implementations. • Define orchestration using Cloud Composer/Airflow and Artifact Registry. • Establish IAM, Secret Manager, and Cloud KMS security patterns. • Design hybrid connectivity using Cloud Interconnect and secure private connectivity. • Architect API integrations using IBM APIC or Apigee . • Define resilience, backup, multi-region, and disaster recovery strategies. • Collaborate with observability and security teams. • Develop current-state to target-state implementation and migration roadmaps. Requirements Mandatory Requirements • Strong GCP Cloud Architecture experience. • Hands-on expertise with BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Run, Cloud Composer, GCS, Cloud SQL, Firestore, and Memorystore/Redis . • Strong Terraform experience for multi-project GCP provisioning, including VPC, IAM, Interconnect, service accounts, and organization policies. • Experience with Cloud Build or Jenkins/GitLab CI , container pipelines, Artifact Registry, and GitOps. • Strong knowledge of Cloud Interconnect, IAM, Secret Manager, Cloud KMS, Private Service Connect , and perimeter security. • Experience with IBM API Connect (APIC) or Apigee and partner/B2B API integrations. • Experience with hybrid identity and GCP IAM integration. • Experience supporting multiple external integrations and API consumers. • Experience developing current-state to target-state architecture roadmaps. • Strong communication and stakeholder workshop facilitation skills. • Google Professional Cloud Architect certification – mandatory. Preferred Skills • Cloud Healthcare API, FHIR R4, HL7v2 , EMPI/MPI. • Healthcare interoperability and healthcare data governance. • Multi-region DR/resilience and backup architecture. • Dynatrace, Splunk, Wiz, CrowdStrike, ServiceNow . • Monolith-to-microservices transformation. • Pub/Sub for event-driven ingestion. • GKE/Kubernetes . • Dataplex and DLP for PHI/PII classification, lineage, and masking.
