GCP Engineer

Location: Bochum, NRW
Salary: Up to €95,000
Working Model: Hybrid, 50% onsite
Contract: Permanent, 40 hours per week

The Opportunity

We are supporting an established international industrial organisation looking for an experienced GCP Cloud Platform Engineer to join a lean infrastructure team during a major cloud transformation.

The business is currently migrating infrastructure from IONOS to Google Cloud Platform, while operating a wider hybrid environment across GCP, Azure and on-premise infrastructure.

This is not simply a cloud operations role. You will have the opportunity to take real ownership of the GCP platform and contribute to how the wider cloud architecture develops.

Your Responsibilities

• Build, operate and continuously develop the GCP environment
• Support the ongoing IONOS to GCP migration
• Build cloud infrastructure using Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
• Work with Kubernetes, Docker, Cloud Run and cloud-native services
• Develop and optimise CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments
• Manage GCP services across IAM, Networking, Compute, Storage and Monitoring
• Integrate GCP with Azure, Entra ID, Active Directory and on-premise environments
• Support cloud security, compliance, logging and FinOps
• Contribute to future architecture and cloud transformation projects
• Work on an upcoming high-performance computing environment within GCP

Your Profile

• 3+ years\' professional cloud engineering/platform experience
• Strong hands-on Google Cloud Platform expertise
• Excellent Terraform / Infrastructure as Code knowledge
• Experience with Kubernetes and Docker
• Knowledge of CI/CD, Git and DevOps practices
• Experience with cloud networking, IAM and security
• Scripting experience with Python, Bash, PowerShell or Go
• Able to work independently and take ownership of the environment
• Strong English skills

Why Join?

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership rather than maintaining an already finished cloud environment.

You will be joining during an active GCP transformation, with future projects expected around HPC, BigQuery, cloud-native workloads and potentially AI, giving you the chance to influence the platform and wider architecture as it evolves.
