GCP Cloud Architect

Project Description

Healthcare data platform modernization on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Cloud Healthcare API / FHIR. The platform will support clinical data ingestion from on-premises systems, healthcare data processing and analytics through BigQuery, and secure API access for EMRs, partners, government agencies, and patient-facing applications. The architect will own end-to-end cloud architecture, including networking, security, data pipelines, API integration, Infrastructure as Code, observability, resilience, and DR.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture workshops with client and partner stakeholders.

• Design and document end-to-end GCP architecture and target-state solutions.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams.

• Architect data ingestion and processing using Dataflow, Healthcare API/FHIR, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Firestore, and Redis.

• Design analytics architecture using BigQuery and GCS.

• Design and secure FHIR Store and Consent API implementations.

• Define orchestration using Cloud Composer/Airflow and Artifact Registry.

• Establish IAM, Secret Manager, and Cloud KMS security patterns.

• Design hybrid connectivity using Cloud Interconnect and secure private connectivity.

• Architect API integrations using IBM APIC or Apigee.

• Define resilience, backup, multi-region, and disaster recovery strategies.

• Collaborate with observability and security teams.

• Develop current-state to target-state implementation and migration roadmaps.

Requirements

• Mandatory Requirements

• Strong GCP Cloud Architecture experience.

• Hands-on expertise with BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Run, Cloud Composer, GCS, Cloud SQL, Firestore, and Memorystore/Redis.
