Job description

Be part of a 1,000-strong expert community across the UK, Germany, and France under the GPS umbrella-Computacenter's leading consultancy and project delivery arm. Here, you'll grow alongside skilled peers, collaborate closely with account teams and partners, and continuously stay sharp by aligning with emerging market technologies and our strategic roadmap. As a predominately engineering role you will have proven skills implementing modern, scalable platform solutions using a range of new and emerging technologies from developed and deployed with Cloud/DevOps tooling.

What you’ll do

• Engineer multi-cloud architectures across public and private environments, delivering robust, scalable, and automated solutions to support development teams.

• Team-based experience in Cloud or DevOps environments, working within Agile frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, or Lean.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, and provisioning frameworks like ARM templates or Terraform.
• Hands‑on exposure to DevOps tooling (automation, orchestration, testing), with awareness of Jenkins or GitLab, and security tools like HashiCorp Vault.
• Strong communicator, able to translate technical complexity into clear insights for both technical and business audiences, while continuously learning and applying new knowledge effectively.
• Broader exposure to cloud platforms and native deployment tools, plus certifications in GitLab, Terraform, or Vault would be a bonus (desirable).
• Current certifications such as AZ‑104, AZ‑400, or Terraform Associate reflect highly sought‑after competencies (desirable).
