• Aggressively engineering our data at scale to unlock the value of our combined data assets and predictions in real‑time

A Senior Cloud Engineer is a leading technical contributor who can consistently take loosely defined business or technical requirement, architect and build it to a well‑defined specification, and execute on it at a high level. They have a strong focus on metrics, both for the impact of their work and for its inner workings / operations.

A Senior Cloud Engineer should be deeply familiar with the tools of their specialization and of their customers, and engaged with the open source community surrounding them – potentially, even to the level of contributing pull requests.

• Design and deploy scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure solutions using Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services.
• Configure and optimise network architecture, including VPCs, subnets, firewalls, and load balancers, to ensure high availability, security, and performance.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into scalable and efficient cloud infrastructure designs.
• Provide input into the roadmaps of teams representing upstream dependencies to help improve the overall program of work.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and deployment processes using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.
• Stay updated with the latest trends and best practices in cloud infrastructure and contribute to the continuous improvement of our cloud infrastructure architecture.
• Optimise resource utilisation and cost management while maintaining compliance standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members, fostering a collaborative and knowledge‑sharing culture within the organisation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure‑related issues and provide technical support to internal teams.
