Senior GCP Platform Engineer / Architect - Agentic ERP Platform
Fully Remote | UK/Europe | Freelance Contract | Flexible 0-25 Hours per Week | Outside IR35
We are working with a global enterprise software organisation building a next-generation AI platform for some of the world's largest SAP, Oracle and JD Edwards customers.
We're looking for an experienced Senior GCP Platform Engineer / Architect to design and build the Google Cloud platform that underpins enterprise AI capabilities. This is a hands-on architecture role focused on secure, scalable, production-grade cloud platforms rather than AI research or proof-of-concepts.
You'll work closely with the VP of Platform Engineering to define reusable GCP architecture, deployment patterns and cloud standards used across multiple enterprise customers.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Design and build enterprise AI platforms on Google Cloud using modern cloud-native services.
- Architect secure, scalable GCP environments for AI workloads and enterprise ERP integrations.
- Design container and serverless platforms using GKE, Cloud Run and Cloud Functions.
- Build reusable Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Config Connector.
- Implement secure networking, IAM, Workload Identity and customer-isolated deployments.
- Develop event-driven architectures using Pub/Sub, Eventarc and Cloud Tasks.
- Partner with Solution Architects to translate enterprise customer requirements into production-ready GCP solutions.
- Define platform standards, reference architectures and deployment best practices.
- Support pre-sales architecture discussions and technical design reviews.
