Ready to build cloud infrastructure the right way, automated, scalable, secure, and engineered, not clicked together? This is a role for a GCP-driven engineer who wants ownership, modern tooling, and a platform team that genuinely does DevOps rather than just talk about it.
The Opportunity: Join a cross-functional engineering group delivering enterprise-scale GCP infrastructure and DevOps capabilities. Youll shape cloud products, design reusable IaC patterns, and build automation that removes toil for dozens of teams across the business. This isnt a support role. Its hands-on engineering with room to influence standards, architecture, and tooling across a huge GCP estate.
What Youll Be Doing:
- Engineering GCP infrastructure products using Terraform & Terraform Cloud.
- Designing reusable IaC modules, refactoring legacy configs, improving state management.
- Building automation, tooling and workflows in Python.
- Developing secure, scalable GCP landing zones with org policies, policy-as-code (OPA/Sentinel), guardrails, and zero-trust principles.
- Working deeply with GKE, containers, Istio, cluster ops, and cloud-native networking.
- Integrating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, Jenkins, Harness) to automate everything from builds to deployments.
- Driving cloud adoption and best practice across feature teams.
What You Bring:
- Strong GCP cloud engineering background with a DevOps mindset.
- Terraform expertise (modules, state, workspaces, enterprise patterns).
- Solid Python scripting for tooling and automation.
- GKE, service mesh, containerisation & cluster management experience.
- Experience implementing org-level governance, security, and policy-as-code.
- Certifications in GCP and Terraform are a big plus.
Nice to Have:
- SME-level GCP knowledge or consulting experience.
- Experience influencing architecture, design, and DevOps strategy.
- Familiarity with IDE-style engineering platforms (e.g., Backstage).
Why This Role? A genuinely modern GCP environment not a half-migrated legacy swamp. Real engineering autonomy and the chance to shape cloud platforms at scale. Backed by a major UK organisation with huge learning, career and technical development opportunities. A culture that values DevOps, infrastructure as code, and engineering excellence.
