Key Responsibilities

n

n
- Design, build and implement GCP solutions end-to-end across a large enterprise environment.
n
- Support the ongoing development and uplift of the GCP Cloud Landing Zone, covering both low-level design and hands-on engineering.
n
- Build and enhance cloud platform capabilities across networking, security, IAM, controls and environment segmentation.
n
- Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform.
n
- Build, enhance and support CI/CD pipelines and broader DevOps automation.
n
- Use GCP CLI and scripting extensively to automate and manage cloud platform services.
n
- Apply cloud architecture and Well-Architected principles across platform design and implementation.
n
- Contribute to the development of an enterprise platform supporting AI and agent-based workloads.
n
- Implement appropriate security controls, governance, observability, audit/evidencing and FinOps capabilities across AI workloads.
n
- Work alongside architects, senior engineers and platform teams to turn high-level designs into production-ready solutions.
n
- Help improve engineering standards, automation and cloud capability across the wider technology environment.
n
- Strong senior-level cloud/platform engineering experience, including ownership of cloud solutions from design through to implementation.
n




- Experience working within large, complex enterprise environments.
n
- Strong Terraform and infrastructure-as-code capability.
n
- Strong understanding of GCP networking.
n
- Experience implementing cloud security and governance controls, including IAM and technologies such as VPC Service Controls.
n
- Strong scripting and coding skills.
n
- Practical experience working with and automating through GCP CLI.

- Solid cloud architecture knowledge and understanding of Well-Architected principles.
n
- Strong DevOps fundamentals across CI/CD, automation and infrastructure engineering.
n
- Ability to independently own and solve complex technical problems.
n

n

Highly Desirable

n

n
- Experience with Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise or similar enterprise AI platforms.
n
- Understanding of security, governance and usage controls surrounding enterprise AI platforms.
n
- Exposure to AI/agent development platforms or tooling across GCP, AWS or Azure.
n
- Experience implementing enterprise security and governance controls around AI agents.
n
- Understanding of agentic AI platform patterns, including observability, auditability/evidencing and policy controls.
n
- Previous software engineering or backend development experience.
n
- Experience developing APIs or web-based applications using contemporary programming languages.
n
- Exposure to AI-assisted software engineering and development tooling.
n
- Cloud FinOps and cost-optimisation experience, ideally within GCP.
n
- Experience delivering cloud or AI platforms within complex, security-conscious or regulated organisations.
n

n

Ideal Background

n

The successful candidate will be a senior engineer who remains highly hands-on rather than operating solely at an architecture level.

n

You should be comfortable moving between cloud architecture, platform design and detailed implementation, with enough technical depth to operate in an environment significantly expanding its GCP capability.

n

Additional experience across enterprise AI platforms, agent-based systems, backend/API engineering or AI governance and controls would be highly valuable.
