Cloud Lead (GCP) / DevOps Lead

DVT is one of the top software development companies on the continent. Our cloud engineers consult on cutting-edge applications at top companies in South Africa and globally. You will have the opportunity to work alongside some of the most established cloud professionals in the country, leveraging the latest technologies across the Google Cloud ecosystem. We are looking for a Cloud Lead (GCP) to join our cloud practice, embedded within a DVT client engagement. This isn’t a “sit back and delegate” role; we need a technical powerhouse who thrives on designing cloud-native architectures, automating infrastructure at scale, and setting the gold standard for what “excellent” looks like across the Google Cloud Platform. As a Cloud Lead, you will take ownership of the cloud engineering workstream, providing technical leadership and hands-on delivery across GCP infrastructure, container orchestration, CI/CD automation, and cloud-native architecture. The Cloud Lead’s responsibilities encompass technical leadership and hands-on management of GCP cloud infrastructure, with a focus on automation, platform engineering, DevOps practices, security compliance, and team guidance. If you are obsessed with automation, find beauty in well-orchestrated infrastructure, and want to own the cloud engineering vision for a strategic delivery engagement – leading by technical example while mentoring the next generation of cloud engineers – this is your seat.
