Cloud Infra Engg- GCP

Location: Remote

Team: Performance Optimization Squad

About the Role

Want to make a multi-million-dollar impact on one of the world's largest Kubernetes fleets?

We are looking for a hands-on Cloud Efficiency Engineer to join our Core Infrastructure team. This isn't a reporting or advisory role. You will be directly optimizing our massive, JVM-heavy infrastructure-tuning autoscalers, profiling services, and finding the perfect balance between peak reliability and cloud cost efficiency.

What You'll Do

Optimize GKE at Scale: Hands-on rightsizing of massive Kubernetes workloads and advanced autoscaler tuning.

Profile JVM Services: Deep-dive into Java performance, interpret GC logs, and tune heap/thread configurations to maximize efficiency.

Drive Financial Impact: Translate cloud pricing models and scheduling decisions into tangible, multi-million-dollar savings.

Navigate Trade-offs: Masterfully balance infrastructure reliability with aggressive cost optimization.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure with a proven, hands-on track record in resource efficiency (not just monitoring).

Deep Cloud & K8s expertise: Strong knowledge of GCP/GKE (or equivalent AWS/Azure depth with a willingness to switch).

Strong Java/JVM skills: Ability to profile services, debug resource contention, and optimize runtime configurations.

Proven results: You have personally implemented cost-optimization initiatives that delivered measurable savings in a cloud-native environment.

Quick Perks

Highly competitive salary, equity, and premium benefits.

Flexible work policy (work from home or the office).

Massively scalable tech stack with real engineering autonomy.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
