GCP Architect

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.

• 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.
