8+ years in cloud architecture roles, with at least 3 years specifically on Google Cloud Platform in an architect or lead capacity.
- Demonstrated experience designing and executing a live production migration from another hyperscaler (Azure or AWS) to GCP,

- Working knowledge of the equivalent Azure services being replaced: Azure OpenAI, Cosmos DB,Azure SQL Database, Blob Storage, Azure Cache for Redis, Application Insights.
- Experience with LLM-based application architectures, ideally including agent-orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain and familiarity with the practical differences between LLM providers (prompt behaviour, JSON-output reliability, context-window/cost trade-offs) when migrating between them.
