Thanks for understanding

We are seeking a Principal Cloud & DevOps Engineer to serve as the primary technical authority across cloud architecture, migrations, and platform engineering. This role reports directly to the Head of Cloud and is designed to assume day-to-day technical leadership currently handled by that role.

This is a highly technical, hands-on leadership position. You will act as the senior technical escalation point across engineering, delivery, and pre-sales while defining the architectures, standards, and execution patterns that allow the organization to operate at scale across hundreds of customer environments.

You will provide technical leadership to multiple engineering teams by partnering closely with tech leads and project managers to ensure customer migrations are delivered on time, at high quality, and with clear communication.

  • Serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex customer and internal issues
  • Lead technical design for large-scale cloud migrations, currently AWS to GCP, expanding to any-cloud to any-cloud
  • Define reference architectures, standards, and best practices used by delivery teams
  • Design and maintain automation, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD foundations
  • Partner with sales and delivery teams to assess risk, validate designs, and unblock execution
  • Mentor senior engineers and technical leads, raising the overall technical bar
  • Influence and guide multiple tech leads who manage individual contributors
  • Reduce day-to-day technical escalations to the Head of Cloud while maintaining visibility into systemic risks and opportunities

Required Experience:

  • 12+ years of experience in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Software Engineering, or Architecture roles
  • Prior experience operating at a Staff, Principal, Architect, or equivalent senior technical level
  • Deep hands-on expertise with at least two major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Proven experience leading or designing complex cloud migrations
  • Strong background in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
  • Solid understanding of Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD, and cloud networking
  • Ability to read, debug, and contribute to production software systems
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across teams

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in consulting, MSPs, or high-throughput customer delivery environments
  • Background in platform engineering or internal developer tooling
  • Exposure to compliance-driven or regulated environments
