We are looking for a contract Senior Cloud Engineer who can take ownership of a growing Google Cloud platform, strengthen CI/CD pipelines, and push automation hard. £475 p/d, fully remote and outside IR35 is the juicy detail. If you enjoy improving systems, questioning “the way it’s always been done”, and working in a high-expectation environment then this role is for you. Automation using GCP and Kubernetes is the key for this role
What you’ll be doing
Working across core GCP services including Compute Engine, IAM, VPC, Cloud SQL (Postgres), and networking
Building, maintaining, and improving CI/CD pipelines that teams actually trust
Driving automation-first engineering (because manual changes belong in the past)
Supporting and evolving a Kubernetes (GKE) platform running production workloads
Using Ansible to manage and standardise environments
Giving confident, in-depth updates, demos, and explanations of your work — often at short notice
What is needed:
Solid understanding of Google Cloud fundamentals
Strong CI/CD and automation experience
Hands-on Kubernetes experience (GKE ideal)
Someone confident enough to challenge, suggest improvements, and own outcomes
Comfortable working under pressure in a demanding client environment
If you are keen then APPLY NOW.
