GCP & Network Agentic Architect (f/m/d)

GCP Network Agentic Architect (f/m/d) Pune (IND) IT What your day will look like About the Role We are looking for a GCP Network Agentic Architect (f/m/d) to lead Thinkprojects migration to Google Cloud and own the networking and compliance foundation that makes it possible. You will validate and drive the full migration of all applications to GCP, define and implement the technical controls required for SecNumCloud and C5 certification, and act as the internal authority and primary liaison with S3NS on our SecNumCloud perimeter journey. This is a senior individual-contributor role reporting to the Infrastructure Lead (who reports to the CIO), with direct CIO-adjacent visibility. You will sit at the intersection of platform engineering and technology strategy, contributing to platform roadmap decisions not just executing them. The team is small, high ownership, and based in Pune. You will also own FinOps because moving to GCP without cost governance is not a migration, its a cost transfer. The team operates at pace, with real ambiguity and real impact. Time allocation (approximate): ~35% GCP migration SecNumCloud compliance | ~25% networking architecture rationalisation | ~20% controls automation DevOps integration | ~20% FinOps, documentation cross-team collaboration Key Responsibilities GCP Migration Compliance Validate and drive the migration of all Thinkproject applications to GCP, own the migration plan, track progress, surface blockers Deliver a realistic, milestone-based timeline for full SecNumCloud perimeter migration in 2026 Act as the primary internal specialist and liaison for SecNumCloud, working directly with S3NS to scope, plan, and execute the migration into their environment Implement and automate technical controls required for SecNumCloud, C5, and any arising compliance certifications Networking Architecture Own the networking layer: rationalise the current configuration, eliminate bottlenecks (including Cloudflare sprawl), and define the optimal networking architecture for Thinkproject on GCP Collaborate with Security to define firewall policies, VPC topology, Private Service Connect, and secure egress/ingress patterns Ensure the networking foundation is documented, reproducible via IaC, and consumed cleanly by the Service Catalog Controls Automation DevOps Collaboration Collaborate with DevOps and Engineering to automate GCP component deployment and compliance controls into CI/CD pipelines Work with the SE and Compliance teams to map controls in-production vs controls to-be implemented and close the gap Use LLM-assisted tooling to accelerate controls validation, drift detection, and audit preparation Service Catalog Alignment Work closely with the Cloud Infrastructure Agentic Architect to ensure the Service Catalog makes the best of Google-native capabilities Validate that every catalog entry meets GCP networking and security standards before approval FinOps Own GCP cost attribution, commitment strategy, and rightsizing across all migrated workloads Establish FinOps reporting baseline and make cost visible to engineering teams What you need to fulfill the role You have designed and operated GCP networking environments in production, hold hands-on SecNumCloud or C5 compliance experience, and can translate security requirements into working IaC. Specifically: GCP networking fluency firewalls, VPCs, Cloud NAT, Private Service Connect, VPN/Interconnect, Cloud Armor: you can design and troubleshoot these without reference documentation Expert-level knowledge of the Google Cloud Platform stack across networking and infrastructure layers (GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Artifact Registry, Identity-Aware Proxy, VPC Service Controls) Proven IaC experience with Terraform (required); Ansible a strong plus Proven hands-on security compliance experience: C5, SecNumCloud, or equivalent certification; applied in a live cloud environment, not theoretical Familiarity with S3NS (Thales/Google SecNumCloud sovereign environment) or equivalent sovereign cloud frameworks is a strong plus Hands-on experience with LLM-driven tooling (OpenCode, Claude Code, or equivalent) for infrastructure automation and compliance workflows Comfortable operating in ambiguity; migration programmes have unknowns; you create clarity, not wait for it Experience in Agile/fast-iteration environments with high individual ownership Nice-to-Have (Bonus Skills) Experience with Azure networking (for cross-cloud migration context) FinOps certification or formal cost governance experience Prior experience in a SaaS product company undergoing cloud migration Knowledge of additional compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HDS) Soft Skills Intense technical curiosity you track GCP releases, security advisories, and sovereign cloud developments before they become industry standard Strong problem-solving under constraint you find paths through compliance complexity and networking debt without waiting for perfect conditions Ownership mindset you own the migration outcome, not just the architecture Clear communicator: able to translate compliance requirements into engineering tasks, and engineering blockers into executive-level risk flags Highly collaborative: you build working relationships with S3NS, Security, DevOps, SE, and Compliance teams simultaneously Fact-driven and data-driven: you anchor migration timelines and FinOps recommendations in evidence What success looks like Month 2: Full GCP migration plan documented with per-application timeline; FinOps baseline established Month 4: Networking rationalisation roadmap complete; Service Catalog alignment with Cloud Infrastructure Architect confirmed Month 6: Networking layer refactored and documented via IaC; first application wave fully migrated to GCP; SecNumCloud gap analysis complete and controls implementation underway Month 12: All applications within GCP perimeter or on confirmed migration path; SecNumCloud controls automated and audit-ready; FinOps reporting active across all workloads; C5 and SecNumCloud certification timelines confirmed with S3NS Disclaimer : This job posting has been aggregated from external source.
