GCP DevOps Engineer
£70,000 Remote
This is a new opportunity to join a well-established retail business with a large, mature Google Cloud estate across multiple environments. As a GCP DevOps Engineer, you'll be a dedicated resource working alongside the existing platform team. You'll be responsible for the day-to-day DevOps operation of the in-cluster platform and workload layer across their GKE estate.
This role suits a hands-on DevOps Engineer with deep GCP and Kubernetes experience and strong Datadog skills. It isn't a firefighting role. You'll build on a solid platform by developing the Datadog monitoring estate, keeping security and CVE standards high, and acting as a technical adviser to the platform team on platform-layer improvements.
Key Responsibilities
- Run, maintain and upgrade in-cluster platform tooling, including FluxCD
- Deploy workloads through GitOps and troubleshoot deployment and platform issues
- Scale and right-size workloads, and provision namespaces and environments
- Audit and improve Datadog by cutting alert noise, closing coverage gaps and building dashboards
- Link runbooks to alerts and set up notification routing for P1 escalation paths
- Fix High and Critical CVEs within a 14-day target and maintain base images
- Review Security Command Center findings and keep a clear audit trail for compliance
- Write runbooks and documentation, and escalate to third-party partners where needed
- Take part in monthly and quarterly service reviews
