You build,run and improve the infrastructure your product team owns on Google Cloud, using thecentrally managed Terraform modules and pipelines provided by the platform teams, andyou help improve them.\nGood work here means secure defaults, reusable code and clear guardrails, not ticketresolution. The client is also building a Cloud Platform cluster in Bucharest, so you will bepart of a growing local team.\nKey responsibilities\nInfrastructure on GCP: build, operate and further develop the product team'sinfrastructure on Google Cloud (GKE, Cloud Run, IAM, VPC, Load Balancing, DNS,Secret Manager).\nInfrastructure as Code: implement and maintain infrastructure with Terraform, usingcentrally managed modules and pipelines; contribute improvements back to theshared modules.\nCI/CD: build and operate application pipelines in GitLab CI/CD, including GitLabcomponents and runners across environments.\nCore platform components: integrate and use logging, secrets, IAM, VPC and DNS.\nSecure defaults: apply secure defaults for IAM, secrets, networking, TLS and policies.\nOperations: support day-to-day operations, including incident response,infrastructure maintenance and performance analysis.\nCollaboration: work with the other platform teams to use and improve sharedTerraform modules and policies; document standards and present designs inengineering reviews.\nKubernetes: manage Kubernetes resources (deployments, RBAC, networking, policies,upgrades) and Helm releases, with GitOps delivery via Flux and Flagger.\nMust-have requirements\nGCP is the main cloud. Equivalent hands-on AWS experience is accepted wherever noted below.\n4+ years in DevOps, Platform or Cloud Engineering, with hands-on productionownership, not only consuming infrastructure built by others.\nLanding zones: has set up, reworked or extended a GCP or AWS landing zone.\nKubernetes: has configured, managed and improved GKE or EKS setups in production,including Kubernetes resources (deployments, RBAC, networking, policies, upgrades)and Helm releases. Experience with GitOps (Flux) and progressive delivery (Flagger).\nServerless: knows Cloud Run and Cloud Functions (or AWS equivalents), includingtheir trade-offs.\nSecrets management: has integrated Google Cloud Secret Manager or AWS SecretsManager in a mid-to-large company setup.\nCloud networking: has set up or reworked a cloud network on GCP and/or AWS (VPCdesign, routing, firewalls, private connectivity).\nArtifact management: has implemented Google Artifact Registry or AWS CodeArtifactin a mid-to-large company setup.\nGitLab: knows a cross-environment GitLab runner setup and has migrated use casesto GitLab CI/CD components or GitHub Actions.\nTerraform: productive use of Terraform with modular repositories, multipleenvironments, and plan/apply in CI/CD.\nObservability: monitoring and alerting with Datadog or GCP Monitoring.\nFluent English, spoken and written.\nNice to have\nGCP landing zone tooling: Cloud Foundation Fabric (FAST), Enterprise FoundationBlueprint, or the terraform-google-modules project factory.\nShared VPC, Private Service Connect, hybrid connectivity (HA VPN / Interconnect).\nOrganization Policies, VPC Service Controls, Cloud KMS / CMEK, Security CommandCenter.\nKeyless CI/CD authentication via Workload Identity Federation.\nCloud Armor in production.\nDatadog configured as code, Managed Prometheus / PromQL, SLO-based alerting.\nDependency automation at scale (Renovate).\nGo or Python for internal platform tooling.\nGCP Professional certification (Cloud Architect, DevOps Engineer or NetworkEngineer).\nExperience in an enterprise platform team serving many product teams, or in retail / e-commerce.\nGerman language.\nDon't tick every box? If you are strong on the must-haves, apply anyway. The nice-to-haves are things you can grow into, not gates.\nWays of working\nStrong team player, familiar with Scrum and agile ways of working.\nStrong communication skills to bridge a hybrid team split between Bucharest andGermany.\nComfortable explaining designs and trade-offs to platform and product engineers.\nWhat we offer\nWork on a large-scale, GCP-first enterprise platform with a mature platformengineering practice.\nAn international team and a growing Cloud Platform cluster in Bucharest.\nHybrid setup with a Bucharest office.\nCompetitive package, depending on experience and contract type (B2B oremployment).\nSupport from CloudHero, an AWS and cloud-native consultancy, and its community ofDevOps and platform engineers.\nWho is likely to be a strong match\nEngineers who can clearly explain platform components they personally designed, builtand operated: a landing zone, a network or IAM design, a reusable Terraform module, aCI/CD standard. They can discuss concrete cloud services, production incidents and thetrade-offs behind their decisions.\nWho is probably not a fit\nProfiles that have only consumed infrastructure built by a dedicated DevOps orplatform team, without building or improving any of it.\nMainly support, monitoring or ticket-based operations roles without design ownership.\nCandidates without hands-on production cloud experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5201,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":true},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["DevOps & Platform Engineering","Cloud Consulting & Migration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T13:14:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":85,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.847,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cloudhero-cloud-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cloudhero-cloud-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T07:57:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11333,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2321646},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2321646"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcloudhero-cloud-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcloudhero-cloud-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcloudhero-cloud-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cloudhero-cloud-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcloudhero-cloud-platform-engineer"}]}
