We are seeking a skilled Senior Cloud Engineer (GCP) to lead the end‑to‑end delivery of an Oracle database migration to the cloud (GCP). This role focuses on building and optimizing cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure‑as‑Code principles, while ensuring seamless integration across application, database, network, and security domains.
