Job Description

Senior GCP Engineer (Google Cloud Platform)
Location: Manchester (2 days onsite)
Salary: Up to £95,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Ready to build cloud infrastructure properly — automated, scalable, secure, and engineered (not manually stitched together)?
This is a high-impact role for a Senior GCP Engineer / Platform Engineer who wants ownership, modern tooling, and a team that actually practices DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
The Opportunity
Join a cross-functional platform engineering team delivering enterprise-scale Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure.
You’ll design reusable cloud products, build automation, and define standards used by multiple engineering teams across a large-scale GCP estate.
This is hands-on engineering, not support, with real influence over architecture, tooling, and DevOps practices.
What You’ll Be Doing
  * Build and manage GCP infrastructure using Terraform & Terraform Cloud
  * Design and maintain reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules
  * Improve Terraform state management, structure, and scalability
  * Develop automation and tooling using Python
  * Engineer secure GCP landing zones (org policies, guardrails, policy as code – OPA/Sentinel, zero trust)
  * Work with Kubernetes (GKE), containers, and service mesh technologies (e.g. Istio)
  * Manage cluster operations, networking, and service-to-service communication
  * Build and optimise CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, Jenkins, Harness)
  * Drive DevOps best practices and cloud adoption across teams
What You’ll Bring
  * Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  * Solid background in DevOps / Platform Engineering
  * Advanced Terraform skills (modules, workspaces, state management)
  * Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  * Strong Python scripting for automation
  * Hands-on experience with Kubernetes / GKE, containerisation, and service mesh architectures
  * Experience with cloud security, governance, and policy as code
  * Relevant GCP or Terraform certifications (desirable)
Nice to Have
  * SME-level GCP expertise or consulting background
  * Experience influencing architecture and DevOps strategy
  * Exposure to internal developer platforms (e.g. Backstage)
Why Join?
  * Modern GCP-native environment (not legacy-heavy)
  * High level of engineering autonomy and ownership
  * Opportunity to shape cloud platforms at scale
  * Backed by a major UK organisation with strong career progression
  * Culture focused on DevOps, automation, and engineering excellence
