GCP Infrastructure Engineer

GCP Infrastructure Engineer — Federal Cloud Modernization

Remote (US) · Contract · $115–$140/hr DOE

A Google Cloud Partner is hiring a GCP Infrastructure Engineer to build the cloud foundation for a major IRS modernization program. You'll design and implement shared VPC networks, Cloud Interconnect, HA/DR architecture, and automate everything with Terraform and Cloud Foundation Toolkit.

This isn't greenfield experimentation — it's a FedRAMP High production environment where uptime and compliance matter. You'll be the person who makes the architect's designs real.

What you'll actually do:
— Implement shared VPC topology, subnets, firewall rules, and routing
— Configure Cloud Interconnect (AT&T) and VPN tunnels to on-prem
— Build HA architecture with regional failover and DR runbooks
— Write production Terraform modules for repeatable deployments
— Integrate with Cloud Foundation Toolkit for org-wide policy
— Support ATO documentation with infrastructure evidence

What you need (non-negotiable):
— GCP Professional Cloud Architect or Cloud Engineer certification
— 5+ years hands-on GCP infrastructure (VPC, IAM, GKE, Cloud Build)
— Production Terraform / IaC — not just tutorials
— HA design and DR planning experience
— US Citizen
— IRS MBI clearance (active) or ability to obtain

What puts you ahead:
— SAIC TCloud / BPE environment experience
— Direct IRS or Treasury infrastructure work
— Cloud Foundation Toolkit module development
— Cloud Interconnect hands-on (not just VPN)

12-month contract · Fully remote (US only) · Senior team, real infrastructure ownership

Pay: $115.00 - $145.00 per hour

Application Question(s):

• Do you hold a GCP Professional Cloud Architect or Cloud Engineer certification? (Yes or No?)
• Describe the most complex GCP infrastructure you've built (VPC design, scale, compliance).
