Principal Cloud Architect

Our client is a fast-growing, fully remote Google Cloud consultancy and a multiple Google Cloud Partner Award winner. They work at enterprise level on some of the most complex infrastructure, data, and AI projects around.

We're hiring a Principal Architect to lead their most complex client engagements: part hands-on architect, part trusted advisor, someone who can also support their sales team.

Location

This is a UK-based, remote, permanent role with occasional travel to Google and client offices, as well as attending team social events and conferences.

NB: You must be eligible to work in the UK without visa support.

What you'll do

Lead the technical vision for enterprise engagements — turning messy business requirements into clear proposals, SoWs, and realistic timelines. Act as the primary technical lead on delivery teams, balancing architectural oversight with hands-on-keyboard work, and unblocking the team when things get stuck. Navigate enterprise environments while keeping projects on track, stakeholders aligned, and team morale high. Mentor and upskill client engineering teams so the impact outlasts the engagement. Stay calm and be a real partner to clients when engagements get high-pressure.

What you bring

Deep, hands-on Google Cloud expertise in complex enterprise environments — you know how to map GCP capabilities to real governance, security, and compliance constraints.

A track record of migrating or integrating legacy/on-prem infrastructure into modern, cloud-native platforms without breaking production.

Strong command of modern DevOps/SRE tooling — Terraform/IaC, CI/CD, Kubernetes/GKE, service mesh — in high-complexity operational settings.

Solid enterprise networking and security fundamentals (IAM, Confidential Computing, Security Command Center, etc.).

Genuine depth in at least one of: cloud architecture, data platform modernization, platform engineering, or large-scale networking.

Package

Fully remote. Competitive compensation and benefits. Work alongside a team of GCP stars in a respectful, autonomous environment.
