Are you a fan of working on a massive scale? I'm not talking about the equipment that's used to weigh elephants. This is building out a platform that has millions of transactions hurtling through it daily in real-time, with customers all over the globe and revenues extending into 10 figures. A household name in the entertainment industry, the platform has been a mainstay in the North's technology scene, and continues to pave the way in innovation with their upcoming jump into GCP. As part of this migration, they are curating a brand new Platform team - almost like a start-up within an enterprise - to take point on everything GCP and DevOps within the company. They are looking for people coming from modern cloud environments; well-versed in everything-as-code, automation, and containers, and comfortable leading the transformation company wide. What's more, previous GCP experience isn't necessary. If you've been working in AWS all your life and always wondered what is like on the dark side with GCP, this could be the opportunity to roll your sleeves up and get all Google-ly. If greenfield projects, brand new teams, and a company-wide transformation in a global entity raise an eyebrow or two, let's have a conversation!
