Cloud DevOps Engineer GCP
While professional experience and qualifications are key for this role, make sure to check you have the preferable soft skills before applying if required.
London or Bristol hybrid
If you are already working with GCP but feel underused, this role gives you the chance to go deeper, take more ownership, and work on programmes where cloud engineering is central to the outcome.
What tends to appeal to people in this position
You will work on complex, high value programmes where the cloud platform is critical, not just supporting existing systems
You will have real influence over how platforms are designed and delivered, rather than inheriting decisions already made
You will be trusted to own areas of delivery, whether that is leading engineers or acting as the senior technical point across a programme
You will be working with capable teams who understand engineering, which reduces firefighting and allows you to focus on building properly
You will have direct exposure to clients and stakeholders, contributing to technical direction rather than being kept at arms length
You will be supported to build depth in GCP, including further certifications and ongoing development
You will be part of an environment that is structured and well run, with clear processes and expectations
The work itself
This is a hands on DevOps and platform engineering role. You will be designing and building cloud environments on GCP, setting up and improving DevOps practices, and ensuring platforms are reliable, secure and scalable.
Depending on your level, you may be leading engineers, setting standards across teams, or working as a senior individual contributor. You will also be expected to engage with stakeholders and contribute to architectural discussions.
What they are looking for
Experience working with GCP in a production environment
Strong DevOps background including CI CD and infrastructure as code such as Terraform
Experience designing or working on cloud platforms rather than just supporting them
Comfortable working in delivery teams and engaging with stakeholders
Experience in consultancy or complex engineering environments is useful
Background in microservices or event driven architectures is helpful
This role will not suit someone who has only worked with AWS or Azure and is looking to move into GCP for the first time. They are looking for people who already have some GCP exposure and want to build on it in a more meaningful way.
The environment
You will be joining a business that works on complex transformation programmes across multiple sectors. The work is varied but typically involves building and delivering cloud platforms that have real impact across organisations.
There is a strong focus on delivery quality and reputation, which means engineering standards are taken seriously. At the same time, there is flexibility in how teams work and a focus on giving people the space to take ownership. xcswzye
