Rituals Herengracht Hoofdkantoor

(Senior) Cloud Engineer (GCP)

Are you excited to be part of our dynamic team where business meets technology? Driving Rituals' growth through innovative tools within our Tech & Data department.

Share your talents

Mind Oasis (by Rituals) is building a new kind of wellbeing experience combining the power of smart, cutting-edge technology and hardware. We are an international omni-channel brand that helps people unwind from their daily stress. Within Beauty Tech, we work with a small but growing, ambitious team to develop and scale products like Mind Oasis and Perfume Genie. We're now strengthening our in-house cloud capabilities: bringing more platform knowledge, ownership and delivery power into the team.

As our Cloud Engineer, you'll be in the middle of the action, hands-on building, scaling and stabilizing the GCP platform that supports our products as they grow internationally.

As a Cloud Engineer, you will:

• Build, improve and maintain cloud infrastructure and (app) services on Google Cloud Platform, using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Implement and evolve CI/CD pipelines, automation and delivery practices to ensure reliable releases from development to production.
• Work closely with our external supplier and internal stakeholders (Tech, Data and Program Management) to deliver solutions end-to-end.
• Contribute to platform stability, scalability, observability and cost-efficiency (monitoring, logging, alerting and reliability practices).
• Support secure and compliant implementations aligned with Rituals enterprise and regulatory standards (e.g. GDPR).
• Build proof-of-concepts where helpful and bring ideas to life through pragmatic experimentation.
• Participate in technical solution design on a project basis and translate design into working implementations.

Bring all of you

You are energetic, pragmatic, and enjoy solving puzzles. You can simplify complex technical topics, and you like working in an open, fast-paced environment where you can build, improve, and learn. You're comfortable collaborating with partners/suppliers and taking end-to-end ownership. We envision you with:

• 4+ years of relevant working experience in a cloud engineering (or similar hands-on) role.
• Strong hands-on experience with cloud-native and backend development (e.g. Node.jsjs, API design, SQL) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), with a specialisation towards GCP.
• Experience implementing secure, scalable, highly available and cost-efficient cloud solutions in multi-environment setups (multi-region is a plus).
• Solid understanding of cloud security and compliance principles, including IAM, secure networking, data protection, and privacy-by-design (e.g. GDPR).
• An understanding of networking concepts such as shared VPCs, subnets, load balancing, Cloud DNS and hybrid connectivity.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation and modern DevOps practices.
• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud services such as Compute Engine, Cloud Run, and App Engine.
• Experience with containerized or event-driven architectures (e.g. GKE, Pub/Sub) is a strong plus.
• Experience working with observability and reliability topics (monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response & post-mortems).
• Experience with API platforms and management (e.g. Apigee), including API security, versioning and lifecycle management.
• Strong communication skills and experience working with multidisciplinary stakeholders (including external suppliers).

Location and working conditions

While an 80/20 office/home working flexibility is available, this role requires a strong on-site presence to engage with stakeholders and build connections effectively. This position is based in Amsterdam at the Rituals Central Head Office.

Growth path / development opportunities

In this role you'll primarily deliver hands-on, while growing into broader design responsibilities:

• Increase ownership of solution design (from project-level designs to larger platform patterns)
• Learn and apply architectural trade-offs (pragmatic now vs future-proof later)
• Get exposure to architecture reviews and decision-making together with the external architect and internal stakeholders
• Grow influence in standardization, best practices and platform governance over time
