ABOUT US

We’re an innovative tech consultancy - a team of problem solvers. Since 1993 we’ve been finding better ways to solve complex technology problems for some of the world’s leading organisations and delivered solutions that millions of people use every day.

We bring together experts from diverse backgrounds and experiences in a collaborative and open culture to deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients, and a stimulating and rewarding environment for our people.

Our platform engineers design, build and maintain the delivery infrastructure, systems and processes underpinning technology transformation engagements and lead the adoption of modern platforms and ways of working.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for hands-on platform engineers with deep understanding of the Google Cloud Platform ecosystem to join delivery teams working on some of the most exciting digital programmes around, with clients in a range of industries.

As a GCP expert, you'll work in small product teams alongside developers, architects, designers, analysts and product owners to deliver automation, tooling and cloud infrastructure.

We encourage continuous learning, so as well as the opportunity to work with some of the brightest and best in the industry, and evaluate the latest technologies, we’ll reward you for obtaining GCP certifications.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll have the expertise and confidence to lead the definition and support of the GCP delivery platform in complex engagements, typically working in multi-disciplinary teams on client site. You’ll have:

  • Commercial experience across designing, deploying and managing cloud environments in Google Cloud.
  • Experience of containers and container orchestration using Docker, Kubernetes, and GKE.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, Deployment Manager, Helm, or Pulumi.
  • Experience of pipeline build/deploy tools such as Cloud Build or Jenkins.
  • In-depth automation and scripting using tools such as gcloud CLI, Python, Bash, Ruby, or Groovy.
  • Detailed knowledge of configuration management technologies like DSC, Puppet, Chef, SaltStack, or Ansible.
  • Thorough knowledge of logging and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Operations (formerly Stackdriver), New Relic, Datadog or Splunk.
  • Knowledge of cloud platform design patterns and best practices.
  • Knowledge of common database and caching technologies, such as Cloud Spanner, Cloud SQL, Big Query, Bigtable, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, Memcache, or Redis.
  • Some knowledge of common programming languages used in modern web application development, such as Python, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, or PHP.
  • Exposure to iterative/agile development methodologies and experience of enabling team delivery through technology.
  • As a bonus, experience of other cloud platforms and technologies.
  • GCP Professional or Associate certified

If you don’t feel you match with all the above, we’re still interested! We have opportunities across a wide range of skill sets and levels in tech. More than anything, we’re excited about people who love technology and learning how to make it work. We’d really like to hear from you, and hopefully find you your dream job at BJSS.
