Google Cloud Platform Engineer

Google Cloud Platform Engineer 

Help clients innovate — not just operate

You’re not here just to fix things — you’re here to challenge, design, and improve. You love helping teams grow, experimenting with better solutions, and thinking ahead. Whether it’s through sparring with a client or building a scalable system on Google Cloud, you thrive when you can shape what’s next.

At Xebia, we’re looking for a cloud engineer who combines hands-on experience with a broad understanding of the cloud domain. Someone who’s just as comfortable troubleshooting a tricky issue as they are co-creating technical strategy with clients and Google engineers. You’ll join our Managed Services & Engineering team — a small, sharp group that works closely with Google and enterprise clients across Europe. Together, we go beyond keeping systems running. We drive change, bring smart ideas to life, and help clients reinvent how they work in the cloud.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work on complex Google Cloud environments — investigating issues, spotting opportunities, and designing long-term improvements. You’ll help onboard new clients, shape scalable support models, and bring new tools and patterns into production.

But just as important: you’ll act as a trusted sparring partner. Someone who questions assumptions, brings fresh perspectives, and helps clients and colleagues take the next step. You’ll also contribute to our internal standards and knowledge — through sessions, tooling, mentoring, or open source.

What you bring

You don’t need to tick every box, but we think you’ll thrive in this role if you:

• You bring 3+ years of practical experience with Google Cloud.

• Understand the fundamentals: IAM, networking, containers, CI/CD, observability

• Work hands-on with tools like Terraform, GitOps, Python or Go

• Have a strategic mindset and enjoy co-creating solutions with others

• Like sharing knowledge and improving how teams work

Bonus points for Google Cloud certifications — or the ambition to get one.

What we offer you

At Xebia, you’ll find the freedom to grow, experiment, and take initiative — with the support of a close team and a culture built on trust. You’ll get:

• A personal development budget (and time to use it)

• Unlimited book budget 📚

• The gear of your choice — replaced every 2 years

• Weekly knowledge-sharing sessions (with food!)

• The chance to speak at conferences or shape open source

• Legendary team events — from BBQs to ski trips to Ibiza ☀️

Requirements

This is your dream job if you…

• Love building, breaking, and rebuilding smarter

• Enjoy being a sparring partner for clients and teammates

• Like shaping solutions, not just delivering tickets

• Thrive in a team where ideas matter more than hierarchy

And it’s probably not your thing if you:

• Prefer predictability over experimentation

• Don’t enjoy collaboration or knowledge sharing

• Avoid direct client interaction
