Job description

DevOps, Cloud, SRE, Software Engineering, Security

Are you someone who thrives on taking projects to a massive scale?

And no, I don’t mean the kind of scale that weighs elephants.

This is about building and evolving a cutting-edge platform that processes millions of transactions daily in real time. With customers spanning the globe and revenues well into the 10-figure range, this household name in the entertainment industry is renowned for leading tech innovation, especially in the Northeast, and is now embarking on an exciting move to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

To power this transition, they’re expanding their dedicated Platform team. This team will function almost like a start-up within the company, focusing exclusively on GCP and DevOps, and driving cloud innovation across the entire organisation. They’re searching for people with experience in modern cloud environments, who are proficient in infrastructure-as-code, automation, and containerisation, and who are eager to lead transformative initiatives at an enterprise level. Strong Kubernetes expertise is essential, as you’ll be responsible for orchestrating and managing containers in high-demand environments. Familiarity with Kubernetes will enable you to build and scale efficiently while optimising resources across the platform.

Even if GCP isn’t in your current skill set, don’t worry, prior experience isn’t a requirement. If your expertise lies in AWS and you’ve ever wondered what GCP has to offer, this is the chance to explore, experiment, and dive headfirst into all things Google.

If working on greenfield projects, joining a brand-new team, and driving transformation within a global organisation spark your interest, let’s have a chat.

A company with innovation at its core is transforming the way its clients make sense of observability metrics, traces, and security events.

Let’s be honest, nobody has time for “gut feeling” decisions anymore.

If you're passionate about machine learning and data science and ready to lead a team building groundbreaking technology with real-world impact, this role offers a rare opportunity.
