Senior Deployment Engineer, Google Workspace

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Deployment Engineer to lead complex, large-scale data migration and deployment projects. In this role, you will be the technical cornerstone for migrating enterprises from various source environments (including Microsoft 365, on-premises Exchange, Box, Dropbox, and file servers) into Google Workspace.

The ideal candidate possesses deep architectural knowledge of cloud ecosystems, an expert-level command of industry-standard migration utilities-specifically Movebot and CloudM-and the leadership skills required to guide clients through seamless technical transitions.

Key Responsibilities

1. Migration Architecture & Execution

• Lead the end-to-end technical execution of complex data migration projects into Google Workspace.
• Design, configure, and optimize migration pipelines using Movebot and CloudM (both CloudM Migrate and CloudM Manage).
• Perform deep-dive discovery and source-environment assessments to identify potential data fidelity risks, permission mapping complexities, and scale challenges.
• Develop robust mapping strategies for identity, mail, calendars, contacts, and complex hierarchical file structures.

• Serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for cloud-to-cloud and on-premise-to-cloud migration methodologies.
• Define best practices, repeatable deployment frameworks, and automation scripts to continuously improve delivery efficiency.
• Troubleshoot advanced infrastructure, API throttling, network bottlenecks, and data delta sync failures.

• Collaborate closely with project managers, account executives, and client technical teams to align deployment timelines and technical prerequisites.
• Translate complex technical concepts, migration risks, and cutover strategies into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Provide tier-3 escalation support during critical cutover windows.

• Proven Track Record: Minimum 5+ years of experience engineering and executing enterprise-level IT deployments and cloud migrations.
• Google Workspace Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of Google Workspace administration, directory synchronization (GCDS), API limits, and service account architecture.
• Migration Tool Mastery: Advanced, hands-on experience configuring and managing Movebot and CloudM at scale. Candidates must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of these tools' specific optimization parameters, error handling, and reporting features.
• Source Environments: Strong proficiency migrating data from Microsoft 365 / Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and local network file shares.
• Scripting & Automation: Proficiency with command-line tools (e.g., Gam/GamADV-XTD3) and scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell) to automate bulk administrative tasks and custom migrations.

• Google Cloud Certified Professional Google Workspace Administrator.
• Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect.
• Strong foundational understanding of networking concepts (DNS, MX records, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, firewalls).

• Analytical Problem Solving: Ability to dissect complex error logs and API responses to isolate and remediate migration blockers efficiently.
• Data Fidelity Focus: An obsession with maintaining metadata integrity (permissions, timestamps, authorship) across disparate systems.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to build trust with enterprise IT executives and technical peers alike.
