Job Description

Manager, Cloud Engineering

Dallas, TX - onsite 5 days per week

$200,000 to $225,000 base salary + bonus + equity

The Company

We're working with a globally recognised technology and engineering business — one of the most established names in their sector — that is in the middle of a significant cloud transformation programme.

With tens of thousands of employees worldwide and operations spanning the US, India, and beyond, this is an organisation with real scale, long-term stability, and serious engineering ambition.This is not a start-up. This is a business with the resources, the infrastructure footprint, and the strategic intent to build something genuinely world-class — and they're looking for the right person to help lead that.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to join a large-scale cloud engineering programme at the ground floor and genuinely shape how it is built.The organisation has an existing AWS and GCP environment, and the next step is bringing in a strong engineering leader to assess what's there, put the right structure and governance around it, and build a best-practice cloud platform from the ground up.

Once that foundation is in place, the focus shifts to building seamless connectivity between public and private cloud — enabling workloads to move freely and securely between environments.

You will lead a cloud engineering team, own the architecture and delivery of the public cloud estate, and work in close partnership with the broader infrastructure organisation. This is a building role — if you want to inherit something fully formed, this probably isn't for you. If you want to leave your fingerprints on something significant, it is.

What You'll Be Doing

• Auditing the existing AWS and GCP environment and defining a structured, best-practice architecture
• Implementing governance, access controls, and operational standards across the public cloud estate
• Building, leading, and developing a high-performing cloud engineering team
• Driving Infrastructure as Code across all provisioning and configuration — Terraform, Ansible, Python
• Partnering with private cloud teams to enable seamless workload mobility between environments
• Owning reliability, incident management, FinOps, and cost optimisation
• Acting as the go-to AWS/GCP architecture expert for the wider engineering organisation

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years in cloud, infrastructure, or platform engineering
• 3+ years leading engineering teams — or a strong tech lead ready to make that step
• Deep hands-on expertise across AWS, with solid GCP experience alongside
• Strong Terraform and Infrastructure as Code experience
• Proven experience designing and operating hybrid cloud environments
• Solid understanding of networking, security, , and distributed systems
• Someone who has genuinely built cloud environments from scratch — not just managed what others created

Bonus points for:

• AWS Architect Professional certification
• Kubernetes, Docker, EKS or GKE experience
• DevOps or SRE background
• Exposure to GPU or AI/ML workloads

Why This Role

• High ownership from day one — you will shape the architecture, the team, and the culture
• A genuine build opportunity within a stable, well-resourced global business
• Strong career trajectory — this role sits within a broader cloud leadership structure with room to grow
• Collaborative engineering culture with serious technical ambition
