Job Description

We are seeking a highly experienced and results-driven GCP Customer Engineering Lead for North America. This is a billable role, and the successful candidate must be able to contribute to client projects, particularly in the early phases of new engagements. The Customer Engineering Lead will play a critical role in securing new business, supporting deal closures, and ensuring a smooth handover to delivery teams.

A key aspect of this role is building strong technical relationships with Google engineers to align Endava’s solutions with Google's ecosystem. This is not a remote role, and candidates must be comfortable working onsite as required.

• Be billable on projects during the early ramp-up phase to ensure a smooth transition from pre-sales to delivery.

Google Engineering & Strategic Relationships

• Align Endava’s services with Google’s cloud ecosystem to enhance our ability to win and deliver projects.
• Act as the bridge between Google engineering, Endava’s delivery teams, and the client to ensure a seamless pre-sales to delivery experience.

Collaboration with Internal Teams

• Work closely with internal technical delivery teams to ensure solutions proposed in pre-sales are practical and align with project execution.
• Provide input into Endava’s technical best practices for large-scale migrations, ensuring our pre-sales process is well-aligned with implementation strategies.

• Strong expertise in large-scale cloud migrations, preferably within Google Cloud.
• Experience engaging with Google engineering teams or equivalent at another hyperscaler.
• Hands-on experience designing, presenting, and implementing cloud solutions.
• Ability to support project delivery, particularly in the ramp-up phase, ensuring a smooth handoff.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate technical solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
