Summary: The Google Cloud Platform Architect will lead the migration of a large, stateful, monolithic Java application to Google Cloud Platform, requiring expertise in RMI-based architectures and high-availability cloud design. The role emphasizes ensuring seamless connectivity and session continuity during the migration process. The architect will collaborate with various teams to address connectivity and session management challenges while defining best practices for stateful workloads. This position is fully remote, allowing for flexible work arrangements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architect and drive the migration of a large monolithic application to Google Cloud Platform while preserving existing functional and nonfunctional behaviors
- Design and validate RMI implementation on Google Cloud Platform, ensuring reliable client-server connectivity
- Implement QDRMI sessions and validate continuity of connected client sessions
- Design and manage stateful session and connection management across cloud instances
- Enable and validate QDRMI connectivity between client applications and GKE
- Implement DNS-based service discovery to replace fixed IP dependencies
- Design DNS routing strategies to eliminate tight coupling with server IP addresses
- Ensure binary protocol compatibility between on-premise clients and cloud-hosted services
- Validate client session persistence during Google Cloud Platform instance restarts and pod restarts and rescheduling in GKE
- Collaborate closely with application, network, and platform teams to resolve connectivity, latency, and session management challenges
- Define architectural guardrails, patterns, and best practices for stateful workloads on Google Cloud Platform
- Review and validate architecture designs, PoCs, and implementation artifacts
Key Skills:
- Enterprise-scale cloud architecture with strong focus on Google Cloud Platform
- Experience migrating large, tightly coupled monolithic applications
- Basic Understanding of Java RMI / QDRMI architectures
- Stateful socket-based communication and session lifecycle management
- DNS-based service discovery and routing mechanisms
- GKE architecture for stateful workloads
- Networking concepts including fixed IP replacement strategies, load balancing and DNS routing, high-availability and failover design
- Strong understanding of binary protocol handling and compatibility
- Experience designing high-availability, low-latency trading or transaction systems
