• Build and manage cloud-native infrastructure on GCP (or similar platforms)
• Handle cloud storage, load balancing, block storage, and autoscaling
• Resolve performance issues and optimise reliability
• Collaborate across dev and ops teams to streamline workflows
• Monitor infrastructure health and implement alerting systems
• Support containerisation and orchestration initiatives
• Maintain documentation and ensure consistency across environments

What You’ll Bring

• Hands-on experience with cloud migration (GCP, Azure, or AWS)
• Strong knowledge of virtual machines, databases, storage, and networking in the cloud
• Comfort working with both Linux and/or Windows environments
• Scripting skills in Bash, PowerShell, or Python
• Familiarity with Active Directory in Azure (nice to have)
• Proactive mindset and a collaborative, solutions-focused approach

Benefits include: Fully remote within the UK, Enhanced pension (5% employee / 4% employer), Private medical cover, 25 days annual leave + 8 public holidays, Life assurance and more
