Overview of Role
We are looking for a Cloud Workspace Engineer to lead the initial architecture, design, and implementation of our next-generation digital workspace platform. This role bridges the gap between corporate productivity and developer velocity. You will be responsible for building out a net-new environment from the ground up: streaming business-critical applications to users via Cameyo by Google, while simultaneously provisioning secure, high-performance cloud development environments via Google Cloud Workstations.
This isn't a role for maintaining a legacy VDI environment. We need an engineer who understands the practical shift toward browser-based, clientless app delivery. You will take full ownership of the initial architecture and map out a clean migration path that is secure from day one.
Duration: 6 Months, Contract (potential to extend or convert)
Start Date: ASAP , Working hours: Up to 40 Hours per week
Responsibilities:
- Initial Platform Engineering: Architect and deploy the initial Cameyo by Google infrastructure to deliver Windows applications as secure web apps, optimizing for browser-based productivity, Progressive Web App (PWA) integration, and seamless SSO.
- Workstation Environment Design: Provision, configure, and stand up Google Cloud Workstations. Work closely with software engineering teams to define baseline images, package containerized IDEs, and establish secure dev environments.
- Infrastructure Strategy & ROI: Design the underlying Google Cloud Platform (GCP) compute architecture to balance performance with cost-efficiency—establishing auto-scaling policies, custom container lifecycles, and "power-on-demand" features from day one.
- Security & Zero Trust Foundation: Implement Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles for remote access. Establish endpoint security baselines, session isolation, and data loss prevention (DLP) policies utilizing tools like Chrome Enterprise Premium.
- Application Migration & Packaging: Carry out complex application delivery, migrating legacy software into modern browser environments using Cameyo’s "Fully Hosted" or "Self-Hosted" models.
- Migration Leadership: Act as the technical lead for the organization's migration away from legacy VDI (Citrix/VMware) to modern, lightweight cloud alternatives.
