About The Position

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 Google Cloud Platform Engineer to stabilize, support and operate the GCP infrastructure in the 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.
