Who this role is best for

Strong fit for infrastructure engineers who build automation and manage cloud-native systems, with a focus on GCP and Kubernetes.

Best fit for

  • Infrastructure engineers with hands-on GCP and Kubernetes experience and a track record in automation and observability
    — “strong hands-on experience with GCP services, particularly networking, IAM, compute, storage, and Kubernetes”
  • Candidates who have implemented observability and incident management practices in cloud environments
    — “implementing effective observability, alerting, and incident management practices”
  • Professionals experienced in cloud security and compliance, especially in distributed systems
    — “understand cloud security best practices, secrets management, and basic compliance requirements”
  • Individuals with a deep understanding of distributed systems and container orchestration
    — “understand distributed systems architecture and the challenges of operating services across processes and geographical locations”

Things to consider

  • Candidates must be based in the European Union and possess a valid work permit for the region
    — “work from the European Union region and a work permit are required”
  • The role demands a blend of engineering and consulting skills, not purely technical execution
    — “combine strong engineering culture with a consulting mindset”

How to stand out

  • Emphasize experience in deploying and scaling Kubernetes clusters in production environments
    — “deploying, scaling, and monitoring Kubernetes clusters”
  • Showcase your ability to use AI-powered assistants like GitHub Copilot in infrastructure workflows
    — “practical experience using AI-powered assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to improve productivity”
  • Highlight your background in incident management and root cause analysis in cloud systems
    — “investigating infrastructure incidents, performing root cause analysis, and driving corrective actions”
  • Include examples of how you've contributed to infrastructure architecture decisions and improvement initiatives
    — “contributing to infrastructure architecture decisions and continuous improvement initiatives”
