Google Workspace & Cloud Engineer

SoFi•Helena, MT

About The Position

SoFi’s Corporate Applications team is responsible for the platforms that power employee productivity, identity, and secure access across the company. As our environment continues to evolve, we are investing in stronger platform ownership, automation, and governance across Google Workspace, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and our broader SaaS ecosystem. We are seeking a Google Workspace & GCP Engineer with primary ownership of Google Workspace and GCP Administration with a strong security, automation, and governance mindset. This role supports and stabilizes a multi-domain environment while driving improvements in security posture, automation maturity, documentation, cloud identity management, and third-party application governance. We use ServiceNow and Jira to manage requests, change workflows, and operational automations. In this role, you’ll partner with tool owners and automation engineers to ensure platform changes and lifecycle processes are reliable, traceable, and continuously improved. This role reports directly to the hiring manager and will be trusted with meaningful platform responsibilities early, with opportunities to take on broader ownership as experience and judgment are demonstrated. Access to Google Workspace, GCP, Slack, and integrated SaaS platforms is centrally managed through an identity provider, with a strong emphasis on consistent identity, access, and lifecycle controls. Primary platforms are Google Workspace and GCP. Secondary responsibilities include governance and backup administration for Slack and other SaaS tools that integrate with Google Workspace and GCP.
