At NextNovate, we help companies innovate in the cloud. We are looking for an ambitious Engineer with a solid technical foundation and a hunger to learn to join our Infrastructure team and grow into a GCP Cloud Architect/Consultant.\n\nThe Role: Your Path to Cloud Mastery\n\nYou will start by supporting our existing clients and collaborating with our Senior Architects to maintain high-performing Google Cloud environments. This is a learning-by-doing role. While you handle support tickets and technical troubleshooting, you will be mentored by senior colleagues, gaining the hands-on experience needed to eventually lead your own projects and design complex architectures.\n\nWhat does your week look like?\n\nYour week is a mix of hands-on technical work and structured learning. You might start Monday by resolving a deployment issue for a client, followed by a sprint session where you help an Architect write Terraform code for a new landing zone. Mid-week, you’ll dedicate time to your Google Cloud Certification studies. By Friday, you’re participating in a Tech-Refinement meeting, sharing insights from the support cases you’ve handled to help improve our customers’ cloud environments.\n\nGet to know us\n\nAt NextNovate, we act as a guide for innovative companies navigating the Google Cloud Platform. Our mission is to accelerate business transformation by providing expert direction. We also integrate AI (Gemini) into our work.\n\nOur DNA\n\n Being a Friend: We build trusted relationships based on unconditional support and honesty.\n\n Exploring Fast: We have an insatiable curiosity and test new possibilities at high speed to stay ahead.\n\n Using Innovative Tech: We embrace change and adapt to evolving technological landscapes.\n\n Owning It: We all possess a true sense of ownership, ensuring work gets done on time.\n\nSome of the things you are going to do\n\n Collaborate with Cloud Architects and our customers on the definition and implementation of complex cloud infrastructures.\n\n Work with customer teams to create and implement detailed implementation plans.\n\n Work with the customer and NextNovate team members on implementations; work can include project management tasks too.\n\n Provide experience, insights, and technical guidance to team members, and help build concepts and tools for our teams to further develop skills, knowledge, and speed of implementation.\n\nWhat do you love?\n\n Act as the first line of technical expertise for client environments, troubleshooting infrastructure issues and ensuring high availability.\n\n Help build and manage cloud solutions using infrastructure-as-code, moving from diagrams to repeatable, version-controlled code.\n\n Work alongside Architects to execute detailed implementation plans for complex migrations and platform setups.\n\n Assist in managing machine types, database performance, and security configurations to ensure our clients get the best ROI from GCP.\n\n Actively work towards becoming a Professional Google Cloud Architect through our internal training and certification programs.\n\nWhat you bring\n\n A degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.\n\n You have experience in programming or experience managing on-premise or cloud environments.\n\n You enjoy under-the-hood work—figuring out why a system isn’t performing and how to fix it permanently.\n\n You are a clear communicator in English; Dutch is a major plus, and you enjoy explaining technical solutions to others.\n\n You don’t just want a job; you want to master Google Cloud. You are proactive, curious, and thrive in a flexible, fast-paced environment.\n\nWhat we offer\n\n Phone and MacBook Pro.\n\n No hierarchical culture.\n\n The flexibility to work from home or at the office.\n\n 25 days annual leave, with the opportunity to buy 10 additional days.\n\n Free Google Cloud certifications.\n\n Free snacks and drinks at the office.\n\n Work from home allowance and equipment.\n\n NS card for work-related travel.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4027,"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":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Apple Macbook"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T18:15:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.6,"p_active":0.503,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":39,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["seen:39","win:tail","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":51060,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nextnovate-google-cloud-engineer-junior","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nextnovate-google-cloud-engineer-junior.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T09:32:40Z","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":14134,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1918642},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1918642"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnextnovate-google-cloud-engineer-junior"},{"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%2Fnextnovate-google-cloud-engineer-junior"},{"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%2Fnextnovate-google-cloud-engineer-junior"},{"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/nextnovate-google-cloud-engineer-junior\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnextnovate-google-cloud-engineer-junior"}]}
