Google Cloud Engineer

United States

At Dragos, the mission is personal. The systems we protect deliver the water you drink, power your home, and keep the hospitals your community depends on running. Those critical infrastructure systems that power our civilization around the world are under attack every day by adversaries. When those systems fail, people are immediately at risk. We are the global leader in xOT cybersecurity, combining technology, threat intelligence, and expert services. The people here chose this work because they understand what is at stake. Here, you will find a remote-first mission-driven team across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC built on authenticity, transparency, and trust. If safeguarding the systems that protect your family, friends, and community is the kind of work that matters to you, you are in the right place. 

About the Role: 

Dragos is looking for a Google Cloud Engineer to design, build, and maintain the cloud infrastructure that runs our internal IT environment. This role owns our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) architecture end to end. Our environment also includes Microsoft Azure, AWS, and on-premises infrastructure, so familiarity with other clouds and cloud/traditional networking is a plus, but deep GCP expertise is what matters most. Dragos also grows through acquisition, so experience integrating IT and cloud environments during M&A is a plus.

Responsibilities: 

  • Cloud Architecture: Design, deploy, and maintain GCP infrastructure, including Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Storage, IAM, and Cloud Interconnect, following well-architected framework principles.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Automate provisioning and configuration using Terraform or similar IaC tooling; maintain version-controlled, repeatable deployments.
  • Security and Compliance: Implement IAM best practices, VPC Service Controls, and Security Command Center policies; partner with the security team on audits and hardening.
  • Monitoring and Cost Management: Monitor performance, availability, and spend across GCP environments; recommend and implement optimizations.
  • Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve connectivity, performance, and configuration issues affecting GCP workloads.
  • Documentation: Maintain clear architecture diagrams, runbooks, and standard operating procedures for cloud infrastructure.
  • Collaboration: Work with IT systems administrators, security, and engineering teams to support day-to-day operations and larger infrastructure projects.
  • Cross-Cloud and Networking Support: Pitch in on Microsoft Azure and AWS workloads and cloud/on-premises networking as needed; this is a secondary part of the role, not the main focus.

Qualifications: 

  • 5 years of experience in cloud engineering or infrastructure roles, with strong, hands-on Google Cloud Platform experience.
  • Strong understanding of GCP architecture: Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Storage, VPC, IAM, and Cloud Interconnect.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
  • Scripting ability in Python, Bash, or a similar language.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to document systems for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure, including networking, virtual machines, storage, and identity (Entra ID) — helpful, not required.
  • Working knowledge of AWS, including core compute, storage, networking (VPC), and IAM services.
  • Familiarity with cloud networking concepts: VPC design, VPNs, peering, load balancing, DNS, and firewall policy. 
  • Exposure to traditional infrastructure networking: routing and switching, VLANs, firewalls, and TCP/IP fundamentals.
  • Experience with Kubernetes (GKE or otherwise) for container orchestration and workload management.
  • Familiarity with Claude Code or similar AI coding assistants for scripting and automation work.
  • Experience supporting IT or cloud infrastructure integration during mergers and acquisitions (M&A), including onboarding acquired environments and consolidating tooling.
  • Google Professional Cloud Architect, Professional Cloud Network Engineer, or equivalent certification, preferred.
  • Microsoft Azure or AWS certification (e.g., AZ-104, AZ-700, AWS Certified Solutions Architect) preferred.
  • Experience operating in a hybrid, multi-cloud environment with on-premises data center connectivity, preferred.
  • Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or NIST, preferred
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Cloud Monitoring, Datadog) preferred

Compensation: 

  • Salary:  $145,000
  • Competitive Equity Package  
  • Comprehensive Benefits Plan
