Co-Founded by Google Cloud Engineering leaders and backed by Peak 6 Investments, Qarik (pronounced “KAR-ik,” meaning “rock” in Gaelic) is an IT Solutions company with a focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) strategy and implementation.  We’ve grown to over 100 employees in less than three years and continue to attract brand name (F1000) clients.

We strive to work “with” our clients. We embrace agile instead of deliverables and milestones - establish a vision, create a theme-based roadmap and execute. We work in the trenches with our clients to learn from each other's experiences and capabilities.  

We’re an enabler (in a good way). Unlike the traditional IT Solutions model, where consultants can remain long beyond project completion, we enter our engagements with the end in mind. Core to our ethos is the ability to solve complex problems and teach clients to do the same.

A Principal Cloud Infrastructure Architect provides thought-leadership on how to architect and implement cloud foundations for large scale enterprises for multiple mission critical applications. 

Our client's are betting their business on their move to Google Cloud. There is no backup plan or hedging bets. They will look to you, as a thought leader in the industry to lead them on that journey. You will work with a lot of people to understand their needs and help formulate an approach, then help drive implementation of this approach. This will span networking, security, databases, data storage, HA, DR, etc.

If you are passionate about leveraging cloud native services to provide a competitive advantage instead of "just setting up the plumbing" then you will love it here at Qarik.

We are not in the business of conducting science experiments. Our projects involve migrating our clients core, high-throughput revenue producing systems to the cloud. Oftentimes doing so requires robust and thoughtful experimentation to ensure scalability and performance.

We find that engineers or developers that turn architects are the most successful in this role.

Qarik offers a competitive and comprehensive employee compensation and benefits package.
