Job Title: GCP Network Infrastructure Engineer
Location: Jersey City, NJ (Onsite)
Contract: 6+ Months
Primary Skillset: GCP, Python, Terraform, Network

Secondary Skillset: VPC, Load Balancers, InterConnect, VPN, NAT, Firewall Configuration, Security Groups



We are seeking an experienced GCP Network & Infrastructure Engineer to design, deploy, and manage enterprise-grade networking infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in GCP networking constructs — including VPC design, hybrid connectivity, load balancing, and firewall policy management — combined with strong proficiency in Python and Terraform to automate and codify network operations at scale. This role is pivotal in ensuring high availability, low-latency connectivity, and robust security posture across multi-region and hybrid cloud environments, working closely with platform, security, and application teams to deliver reliable and compliant network foundations for critical enterprise workloads.
 
Comment Section:
Architect and manage GCP Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environments including Shared VPC topologies, VPC peering, subnet design, and IP address management (IPAM) strategies aligned with enterprise segmentation and multi-tenant requirements. Deploy and manage Dedicated and Partner Interconnect circuits, Cloud VPN tunnels (HA VPN), and BGP routing configurations to establish reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between on-premises data centres and GCP regions. Design and operate GCP load balancing solutions including External and Internal HTTP(S), TCP/SSL Proxy, and Network Load Balancers; configure backend services, health checks, URL maps, and SSL policies to ensure application availability and optimal traffic distribution. Configure and manage Cloud NAT gateways to provide controlled outbound internet access for private GCP instances, optimising NAT gateway sizing, port allocation, and logging to ensure scalability and full egress visibility. Design and enforce hierarchical firewall policies and VPC firewall rules to control ingress/egress traffic, implement tag-based and service-account-based rules, and regularly audit rule sets to eliminate over-permissive configurations. Implement VPC Service Controls to create security perimeters around sensitive GCP services, configure Cloud Armor WAF policies, manage SSL certificates, and enforce private Google access to restrict data exfiltration paths. Author, maintain, and version-control Terraform modules for all network components — VPCs, subnets, firewall rules, load balancers, NAT, and interconnects — ensuring repeatable, auditable, and drift-free network deployments. Develop Python scripts and Cloud Functions to automate network provisioning, firewall rule lifecycle management, IP allocation, and compliance checks; integrate automation workflows with CI/CD pipelines for continuous network governance. Configure and manage Cloud DNS (public and private zones), implement DNS peering for hybrid environment.
