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.
