Resultant is developing a large health information exchange (HIE) platform for a state government agency, integrating across multiple agencies, external partners, and identity providers. We are looking for an experienced GCP Cloud Engineer to provide long-term stabilization, support, and operation of the GCP infrastructure as the initial buildout concludes.

#### 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.
