Senior Cloud Engineer

Duration: 6 Months
Location: Initially remote; then full time onsite in Dusseldorf

I am working with a company that is experiencing tremendous growth over the past few months and as such they are looking to grow their team.

The Cloud Engineer will have the chance to be part of a cloud operations team supporting the cloud infrastructure of a brand new organization. They are a small but capable team. Cloud Engineers will help develop and automate cloud native solutions, leveraging Google Cloud Platform. In addition, you will build out and maintain DevOps infrastructure that allows our software engineers and product team to be productive and deploy solutions quickly.

They believe that a high-quality team and high-quality code are critical pieces of their mission. The infrastructure behind it all is no different. Working closely with their software engineering, data engineering and product teams, you will build and support cloud infrastructure operations, support CI/CD pipelines, writing Terraform scripts to provision infrastructure as code, and provide operational support for all GCP infrastructure. You will also help maintain critical pieces of application infrastructure including compute resources and GKE clusters through monitoring and day to day operational support.
