They've built a reputation on delivery, not PowerPoint, and their clients trust them precisely because the people they put in front of them can architect, implement, and own the room.
They need a GCP Technical Lead or Principal Cloud Consultant who doesn't need hand-holding. Someone who walks into a client site, reads the room, captures functional and non-functional requirements, and builds something that works. If you need someone to tell you what to do next, this isn't for you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading the design and implementation of complex GCP environments for Federal and FSI clients
- Owning the technical relationship — from initial discovery through to delivery
- Contributing to a growing GCP Unified Security practice (Chronicle, SIEM, SOAR, Wiz)
- Mentoring junior and mid-level engineers — not just technically, but professionally
- Working across a portfolio of clients simultaneously; you'll need to context-switch without dropping the ball
You're a Platform Engineer first. You've spent the majority of your career in consultancy or in lead roles within large corporates — FSI or Federal Government preferred. You understand what rigour looks like when the stakes are real.
- Ideal: Deep GCP architecture and implementation experience (hands-on, not just advisory)
- Strong fit: AWS or Azure technical lead with genuine GCP exposure and the drive to go deeper
- Still worth a conversation: AWS or Azure lead with no GCP but the intellectual curiosity and motivation to upskill fast
Non-Negotiables
- NV1 or NV2 clearance held (or a clean path to Baseline/NV1)
- Platform Engineering depth — not software engineering
- Exceptional communication: you need to be clear, credible, and approachable with senior client stakeholders
- Genuine mentorship capability — you lift the people around you
- Consultancy experience or equivalent rigour from FSI / Federal Government environments
A firm that respects its people, delivers real work, and pays accordingly. Flexible arrangements, a collaborative team of seniors, and a pipeline that keeps you challenged.
