Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Maverick Associates - Actively Looking for Developers
DevOps Engineer/ Architect - 3 months initial contract
Our client is looking for a DevOps Engineer/ Architect and has been operating in Google Cloud (GCP) since its birth over 2 years ago and has now started 2025 with a software re-architecture of the platform and want to mirror that in its infrastructure setup.
Your mission is twofold:
1. Advise on the right way to structure the digital estate of our client in GCP to balance security and scalability with the pragmatism and quick pace a scale-up requires.
2. Execute on that advice and produce (possibly AI-assisted) Terraform code that delivers the agreed best practices as deliverables using Terraform.
This is a green field opportunity, and you are not expected to be involved with the current infrastructure setup, even though you will have access to the existing Terraform code for reference and reuse. You will be working closely with the head of engineering who has a software and cloud architecture background, but you will act as both the domain expert and delivery agent in this field, bringing pivotal experience to shape this aspect of our platform. Our client operates a 3-day-in-the-office (Tues-Thursday) and that would be the preferred way; however, after an initial, agreed induction period, this can be relaxed. When on site, you will work with the team at our office in Sustainable Ventures, Europe's biggest climate tech hub. It's an 8 min walk from Waterloo and an energising space for anyone working on climate change!
