GCP Cloud Engineer

Senior GCP Observability Engineer | Cloud Logging | Cloud Monitoring | Grafana | Dynatrace | Terraform | GKE | £450 Per Day Outside IR35 | Glasgow/Remote

We're working with a US-based technology consultancy that is building a specialist Google Cloud delivery team for a large financial services programme.

They're looking for a hands-on Senior GCP Engineer to take ownership of the Logging and Monitoring workstream, building a secure and scalable observability capability across a regulated Google Cloud environment.

This isn't solely a monitoring or dashboarding role. You'll be expected to work across the wider GCP platform and deliver the observability stack through Terraform and production-grade automation.

You'll be responsible for areas including:

• Centralised Cloud Logging and aggregated log sinks
• Log buckets, retention and Cloud Audit Logs
• Routing logs into BigQuery, Cloud Storage and Pub/Sub
• Cloud Monitoring, metrics scopes and alerting policies
• Uptime checks and SLO-based alerting
• Grafana and Dynatrace dashboards
• GKE and workload telemetry
• Managed Service for Prometheus and OpenTelemetry
• Troubleshooting production deployments using telemetry
• Codifying the observability environment through Terraform

Alongside your specialist observability experience, you'll need strong hands-on capability across:

• Google Cloud Platform
• Terraform
• Kubernetes and GKE
• Jenkins, Jenkinsfiles and Groovy shared libraries
• Go or Golang development
• Python automation
• Enterprise CI/CD pipelines

The wider programme covers identity, networking, observability and platform engineering, so you'll work closely with other senior GCP engineers to maintain common standards and support deployment readiness.

Experience within financial services or another regulated environment would be useful, alongside exposure to security, governance and compliance within Google Cloud.

?? Glasgow preferred, with remote working considered for strong UK-based candidates
