Responsibilities:
- Help deliver and maintain cloud services on Google Cloud Platform, following secure-by-design principles.
- Create, update, and reuse Terraform modules to standardise how infrastructure is deployed.

- Assist with operational support, including alerts, incidents, fixes, and post-incident learning.
- Work within an agile team: contribute to planning, reviews, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.
- Build capability in key platform disciplines such as logging/monitoring, access controls, policy, and DevOps ways of working.
Key skills & experience:
- Around 1-3 years in a technical role related to cloud, DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
- Working knowledge of cloud fundamentals (networking, identity, compute, storage) and some exposure to GCP services.
- Ability to script in at least one language such as Python, Bash, Java, or Go.
- Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and at least one toolset (e.g., Jenkins, Harness, GitHub Actions).
- Exposure to Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform (training/projects count).
- A proactive approach to learning, ownership, and collaboration.
Desirable:
- Basic understanding of containers and/or Kubernetes.
- Awareness of monitoring/observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Dynatrace, or equivalents).
- Experience working in an agile delivery environment.
Salary:
- Up to £53k depending on experience + Bonus + Pension
Hybrid:
- You will be required to attend the office 2 days per week (Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Halifax or Bristol offices available)
