Job description

About Us

We are a fast-moving, high-impact startup on a mission to transform the automotive repair ecosystem through smart, scalable, and cloud-native software. As we scale our infrastructure to support a growing customer base and platform ambitions, we’re looking for a Cloud Engineer who thrives on ownership, embraces autonomy, and is unafraid to make bold, informed decisions.

Role Overview

As a Cloud Engineer, you’ll help build and maintain the technical backbone of our cloud infrastructure. You will play a key role in designing, building, and maintaining our GCP-based cloud platform, championing best practices in Kubernetes orchestration, and enforcing infrastructure-as-code standards through Terraform. 

You’ll be closely involved in shaping the direction of our platform and making decisions that have a direct impact on how we scale.

This role requires someone who is self-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and eager to make confident, strategic infrastructure decisions. You'll play a key part in building a foundation that supports a rapidly growing SaaS platform.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the design and management of our GCP infrastructure, helping with scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.

  • Manage and optimize Kubernetes clusters for performance, observability, and automation

  • Implement Infrastructure as Code and GitOps to maintain scalable, secure, and reproducible infrastructure across all environments

  • Collaborate with backend, frontend, and QA engineers to support fast and safe software delivery

  • Optimise cloud infrastructure for performance, reliability, and cost

  • Drive automation across CI/CD, deployments, monitoring, and incident response

  • Own and maintain our CircleCI pipelines to ensure efficient, reliable build and deploy processes

  • Work closely with senior engineers, learning from their expertise while contributing to improvements.

  • Make architectural decisions independently and communicate clearly with the team

Job requirements

  • 3+ years managing cloud infrastructure with hands-on experience in Google Cloud Platform

  • Experience with managed Kubernetes (we use GKE) and container orchestration at scale

  • Proficiency with Terraform, including writing modular, reusable code

  • Experience with CircleCI or similar for CI/CD and a willingness to move to GitHub Actions

  • Comfortable working in high-autonomy, high-trust startup environments

  • Familiarity with monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or similar

  • Clear communicator who can explain complex infrastructure decisions and tradeoffs.

  • Strong grasp of security principles, networking, and IAM in cloud environments

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with Helm, ArgoCD, or GitOps workflows

  • Exposure to Laravel PHP or Node.js runtime environments

  • Background in platform observability, SLOs, and incident response

  • Experience building infrastructure from early-stage MVP to production-scale platforms

What You’ll Love

  • High-trust environment with autonomy and influence

  • Exposure to a modern, cloud-native tech stack

  • Opportunity to grow into a Lead or Principal Infrastructure role

  • Mission-driven team focused on real industry impact
