🏢 About Landis+Gyr

Landis+Gyr is a global leader in smart grid technology, specifically focused on empowering energy efficiency and reducing environmental footprints worldwide. What makes them unique is their direct impact on sustainable energy infrastructure across the EMEA region, offering the chance to work on OT (Operational Technology) systems that support critical customer operations. This role combines technical cloud architecture with meaningful environmental impact.

About This Role

As Technical Lead - Cloud Architect (CI/CD), you'll be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining GCP-native applications and OT infrastructure across EMEA locations. This role is impactful because you'll ensure high-quality, innovative solutions that meet SLAs while developing data architecture strategies that directly support smarter grid operations and customer service delivery.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves designing GCP-native application deployments, collaborating with teams across EMEA locations to ensure OT infrastructure meets SLAs, and developing data architecture strategies for service operations. You'll likely spend time scripting automation solutions, planning CI/CD platform improvements, and ensuring cost-effective, innovative cloud solutions support customer operations.

🎯 Who Landis+Gyr Is Looking For

  • Has 7-10+ years of cloud system design/operations with mandatory, practical GCP experience (not just theoretical knowledge)
  • Possesses 5-8 years specifically as a cloud architect managing CI/CD platforms, with relevant GCP architecture/engineering certifications
  • Holds a technical degree (B.Tech/M.Tech/MCA) in Information Science and demonstrates strong scripting skills for automation
  • Has experience with OT (Operational Technology) infrastructure in industrial or utility contexts, particularly in EMEA regions

📝 Tips for Applying to Landis+Gyr
