Summary: A global enterprise is seeking a hands-on DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to transition from a legacy data-integration tool to a native solution on Google Cloud Platform. The role focuses on building and implementing established architecture patterns, specifically for a manufacturing business domain, while creating reusable infrastructure templates for internal teams. This position is not advisory but requires active involvement in the build process. The engineer will work across multiple regions, ensuring compliance with data-residency requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and configure GCP landing zones across multiple regions (Germany, Japan, and the EU), with data-residency requirements as a first-class constraint.
- Develop reusable Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) modules and templates that internal teams can spin up and self-serve in their own environments.
- Implement the GCP-native infrastructure that replaces the retiring data-integration tooling.
- Apply established architecture standards and patterns consistently across regions.
- Configure GCP networking, IAM, and security guardrails to enable least-privilege, self-service provisioning.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure delivery.
- Document templates and standards for downstream implementation teams.
Key Skills:
- Strong, current, hands-on GCP experience — this is a build role.
- Production-grade Terraform (or equivalent IaC), including reusable module/template design for self-service consumption.
- Solid GCP networking and IAM (custom roles, service accounts, least-privilege design).
- Multi-region deployment experience with an understanding of data-residency / data-sovereignty controls.
- CI/CD for infrastructure.
- Ability to work independently against an established pattern and deliver within a short, focused engagement.

A global enterprise is retiring a legacy data-integration tool (SnapLogic) and rebuilding that capability natively on Google Cloud Platform. We're looking for a hands-on DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to help stand up new regional landing zones and build the reusable, standards-based infrastructure templates that internal teams will self-serve to onboard new workloads.
The architecture pattern is already established — your focus is building and implementing it to standard, not inventing it. The first implementation supports a manufacturing business domain, and the pattern you help build becomes the standard for future onboarding.
This is a build role for someone who is currently in the weeds, not an advisory or architecture-only seat.
What You'll Do- Build and configure GCP landing zones across multiple regions (Germany, Japan, and the EU), with data-residency requirements as a first-class constraint.
- Develop reusable Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) modules and templates that internal teams can spin up and self-serve in their own environments.
- Implement the GCP-native infrastructure that replaces the retiring data-integration tooling.
- Apply established architecture standards and patterns consistently across regions.
- Configure GCP networking, IAM, and security guardrails to enable least-privilege, self-service provisioning.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure delivery.
- Document templates and standards for downstream implementation teams.
- Strong, current, hands-on GCP experience — this is a build role.
- Production-grade Terraform (or equivalent IaC), including reusable module/template design for self-service consumption.
- Solid GCP networking and IAM (custom roles, service accounts, least-privilege design).
- Multi-region deployment experience with an understanding of data-residency / data-sovereignty controls.
- CI/CD for infrastructure.
- Ability to work independently against an established pattern and deliver within a short, focused engagement.
- GCP data-integration / pipeline services (Dataflow, Cloud Composer/Airflow, Pub/Sub, Data Fusion).
- Familiarity with SnapLogic or similar iPaaS/ETL tooling (helpful for understanding what's being replaced).
- Experience supporting manufacturing or other compliance-sensitive domains.
- Exposure to EU and/or Japan data-protection requirements.
- Type: Contract
- Duration: 3–4 months
- Location: Remote
- Level: Mid-to-senior hands-on individual contributor
