Temporary
Ontrac Solutions
Work from home
- Remote job
We are seeking a Strategic Cloud Engineer to operate at the intersection of GCP FinOps (cost optimisation) , Kubernetes platform engineering , operational excellence and agentic-AI-driven development .
This is a high-leverage engineering role responsible for optimising cloud spend, increasing platform reliability, and accelerating engineering output through automation and AI-assisted workflows. You will work across GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform and modern AI-assisted development environments. The environment is a high-scale, regulated, multi-product SaaS platform.
What you'll own
- GCP cost optimisation & FinOps — rightsizing, autoscaling and workload efficiency; cost-observability dashboards (Grafana / BigQuery / billing exports); partnering with engineering teams to architect cost-efficient solutions
- Kubernetes platform operations (GKE / multi-cluster) — cluster lifecycle, upgrades, node pools and scaling; ingress and domain routing; secrets, environment variables and service deployments; multi-tenant SaaS customer lifecycle events
- Infrastructure as code & automation — own and evolve Terraform provisioning; support and optimise GitLab CI/CD rollout pipelines; automate customer provisioning and environment configuration
- Platform services & observability — VictoriaMetrics, StatsD, Grafana, Google Cloud Monitoring, Elasticsearch / OpenSearch, Apache Airflow; troubleshooting distributed systems and production incidents
- Global operations & reliability — instance provisioning and decommissioning, domain mapping, infrastructure support across providers including Hetzner, and participation in an on-call rotation
- Agentic-AI engineering enablement — using AI-assisted tools (Cursor, OpenCode, multi-model AI development workflows) to accelerate infrastructure development, automate operational runbooks, and improve debugging of CI/CD pipelines and distributed systems
Core technical requirements
- Strong expertise in Google Cloud Platform — GKE, Compute Engine, IAM, networking
- Proven experience with Terraform in production environments
- 3+ years managing production Kubernetes — cluster lifecycle and upgrades, ingress / reverse-proxy configuration, secrets and configuration management
- Demonstrated ability to optimise cloud spend in production — cost allocation and usage patterns, rightsizing and scaling strategies, and building cost-visibility dashboards
- GitLab CI/CD (preferred) or GitHub Actions, with the ability to debug pipelines and support release workflows
- Grafana / VictoriaMetrics / StatsD / Google Cloud Monitoring; Elasticsearch / OpenSearch; Apache Airflow / Airbyte / n8n
- Scripting in Python, Bash or similar
- Agentic AI development (required baseline) — working familiarity with AI-native IDEs such as Cursor and agent-based development environments, and the ability to use AI to generate, review and optimise infrastructure code
Nice to have
- Multi-cloud exposure (AWS / Azure)
- Experience in regulated environments (SOC 2, ISO)
- Exposure to European infrastructure providers (Hetzner)
- Experience building internal developer platforms (IDP)
