GCP: mercado
GCP (Google Cloud Platform) is the market's third major cloud with a distinctly data-shaped profile: BigQuery, Dataflow, Vertex AI and GKE pull demand from analytics, data engineering and ML. We track 10 079 open positions listing GCP, 9 368 of them fresh. The main roles are DevOps, Data and Fullstack. GCP most often appears next to AWS, Azure and Python. 41% of the postings allow fully remote work. GKE is considered the reference managed Kubernetes, so GCP experience is welcomed even by infrastructure teams on other clouds. Below is measured GCP demand from public sources.

Preguntas frecuentes
Common questions about the GCP market — short answers from the slice.
How do GCP jobs differ from AWS and Azure?
By profile: GCP is asked for in data and ML (BigQuery, Dataflow, Vertex AI), AWS — in product backend and serverless, Azure — in the enterprise segment. GKE, meanwhile, is one of the best managed Kubernetes offerings, keeping infrastructure demand for GCP steady.
Which roles need GCP?
The slice shows demand from DevOps, Data, Fullstack and Backend roles. Data engineers need BigQuery and Dataflow, ML engineers — Vertex AI and GPU clusters, DevOps — GKE and Cloud Build, analysts — BigQuery and Looker.
What should I learn for GCP jobs?
For the data profile: SQL and BigQuery, then Dataflow/Composer and dbt. For infrastructure: GKE, Terraform, networking and IAM. Certifications (Professional Data Engineer, Cloud Architect) are a plus in postings, not a filter.
How big is the GCP market?
The current slice tracks 10 079 open GCP positions — fewer than AWS and Azure, but the data direction grows faster than average: BigQuery became the standard analytical warehouse in product companies.
