Overview

Deloitte is staffing four senior engineers to own the Google Cloud footprint behind its enterprise and AI workloads. Day to day you will design Terraform modules, stand up GCP services from scratch, and push infrastructure through dev, test, staging, and production pipelines. Expect deep work across Cloud Run, BigQuery, IAM, and VPC networking, plus the monitoring that keeps it all observable. Data engineering and AI/ML groups rely on this platform for Vertex AI Agent Engine, Vertex AI Search, and Model Armor, so the infrastructure you build carries real production weight.

What You'll Do10

  • Write reusable Terraform modules that other teams across the enterprise can adopt and extend.
  • Stand up complete GCP environments from an empty project, covering services, networking, and access.
  • Own configuration for Cloud Run, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Firestore, IAM, Secret Manager, and load balancing.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure releases and application deployments.
  • Handle VPCs, subnets, firewall rules, private connectivity, DNS records, and SSL certificates.
  • Manage service accounts, IAM policies, and security controls across every environment.
  • Set up logging, alerting, and observability with Cloud Monitoring and related tooling.
  • Write Python APIs and data connectors on Cloud Functions or Cloud Run that feed downstream apps and ML systems.
  • Trace production incidents to root cause, then document the runbooks, architecture, and support procedures that follow.
  • Partner with data engineering and AI/ML teams on the secure, scalable infrastructure behind Vertex AI workloads.

Requirements8

  • Hands-on GCP experience supporting enterprise-scale cloud infrastructure.
  • Strong Terraform skills and a record of running infrastructure as code across development, testing, staging, and production.
  • Practical knowledge of Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, or a comparable CI/CD system for pipeline delivery.
  • Comfort with GCP IAM, VPC networking, and container platforms such as GKE and Cloud Run.
  • Python experience building APIs and connectors on Cloud Functions or Cloud Run.
  • Familiarity with GCP-native data platforms: BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Composer.
  • Working knowledge of security, compliance, and governance controls in cloud environments.
  • Senior-level background designing, automating, and operating cloud platforms.

Who Should Apply

The role suits a senior cloud engineer who has built GCP environments end to end with Terraform and wants ownership of a platform that feeds data and AI/ML teams. You should move easily between IAM design, pipeline work, and debugging a live incident.

Salary Insight

The posting lists $85.00 per hour for this freelance engagement. That sits in the upper band for contract GCP and Terraform engineering in US metro markets, and lines up with senior-level platform work that covers multiple services and production support.
