Job Description

Resultant is building a large health information exchange (HIE) platform for a state government agency that integrates across multiple agencies, external partners, and identity providers. We are seeking an experienced GCP Cloud Engineer to stabilize, support, and operate the GCP infrastructure long term as the initial buildout comes to close. The tenant is owned by the state, and the job requires close coordination with State IT and operating within their strict standards, guidelines, and controls.

The position requires an experienced, hands-on GCP cloud engineer capable of operating with a high degree of autonomy in a risk-averse, regulated environment where platform reliability, security, and data confidentiality are critical.

You will work with Google Cloud Platform infrastructure, Terraform-based deployments, and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, helping deliver a scalable, compliant, and operationally stable platform aligned with State standards and healthcare data requirements.

This is a remote role; however, preference will be given to candidates based in the Indianapolis, IN, Dallas, TX, or Chicago, IL areas.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Stabilization & Operations

Environment Manager: responsible and accountable for overall health, availability, performance, security, cost, and day-to-day operations of the GCP platform and toolset
Lead efforts to stabilize and optimize the HIE platform, addressing production issues, technical debt, and deployment inconsistencies
Lead or participate in incident response, monitoring, operational support, governance, root cause analysis, remediation planning, and resolution of platform defects and integration issues
Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, deployment standards, and security artifacts

CI/CD & DevOps (Azure DevOps)

Partner with architecture, security, and data teams to align platform architecture with project deliverables and contractual, regulatory, and operational expectations
Build and maintain Azure DevOps pipelines for infrastructure and application deployment
Support migration and alignment of existing GitHub-based pipelines into Azure DevOps
Implement and maintain repeatable deployment frameworks for containerized platform and application services
Support application teams with environment configuration and release processes
Improve deployment reliability and rollback strategies for production releases

Cloud Infrastructure Engineering (GCP)

Design and implement GCP infrastructure across DEV, QA, STAGE, PROD, etc.
Manage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform, aligned with IT-provided baseline services (VPCs, DNS, service accounts), controls, and standards
Implement and maintain secure, scalable cloud patterns including networking, IAM, and service integrations
Deploy and manage containerized workloads (e.g., Kubernetes/GKE or equivalent)

Healthcare & Data Integration Context

Support integrations across healthcare, public health, and social services systems
Work with data ingestion pipelines, secure file transfer (e.g., SFTP/MOVEit), APIs, and new partner onboarding
Align platform with client's interoperability patterns and data governance expectations

Identity, Access, & Security

Implement and manage federated identity patterns (BYOC) across multiple Identity Providers (e.g., State systems, State SSO, external IdPs)
Support role-based access controls and auditability aligned with data access policies
Collaborate with security stakeholders to support ATO readiness and compliance activities
Establish, improve, and operate industry-standard tools, metrics, procedures, and governance around security and vulnerability management

Collaboration, Leadership, & Engagement

This role operates within a multi-stakeholder environment and requires direct partnering with State agencies, external healthcare and social services partners, and internal engineering, data, security, and audit teams. The position requires a collaborative, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and provide structured, actionable solutions.
