We're committed to innovation and delivering exceptional value to clients.

The Opportunity:

We're hiring a skilled GCP Cloud Engineer for a 12-month fixed-term contract, joining a growing team within a key client's Marketing Analytics function. This team excels at integrating data across digital channels for a vast European market, delivering a seamless customer experience.

This role is the first in a series of crucial roles growing the function as they take on more capacity from the European market. You'll design, implement, and secure robust GCP cloud infrastructure. Your work will directly enable efficient data flow into Looker for marketing analysis and reporting. A significant part of this role involves leading and contributing to rigorous security audits and driving compliance within their GCP environments. This is a hands-on technical role requiring a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach to cloud security and governance.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure GCP infrastructure (Compute, networking, storage, IAM).
• Implement and manage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform.
• Ensure operational health, performance, and cost-efficiency of GCP resources for marketing data.
• Collaborate with marketing data engineers and analysts on infrastructure for data integration.
• Lead and actively participate in security audits, identifying vulnerabilities, and ensuring adherence to security policies.
• Develop and enforce GCP security hardening measures (network segmentation, access controls, encryption, GDPR/ISO 27001 compliance).
• Design and implement ETL pipelines for marketing data into BigQuery for Looker.
• Optimise BigQuery data models and schemas for Looker exploration and reporting.
• Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting for infrastructure and security.
• Contribute to cloud engineering standards and documentation.
• Provide expert guidance on GCP best practices (security, reliability, cost).
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and security issues.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Extensive experience as a Cloud Engineer, specialising in GCP.
• Proven background in marketing data environments, understanding infrastructure needs for marketing analytics and CDPs.
• Demonstrable experience leading/contributing to security audits, vulnerability assessments, and compliance initiatives (GDPR, ISO 27001) within GCP.
• Expertise in IaC with a strong preference for Terraform.
• Profound understanding of GCP networking, security services, and IAM.
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, Go).
• Experience with containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes/GKE) is desirable.
• Strong understanding of monitoring and logging tools.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
• Relevant GCP certifications are highly advantageous.
