Who you are
The cloud engineer is an evolutionary IT role aimed at successfully helping organizations implement, deploy, secure and/or manage public clouds.
As a Cloud engineer you are a technical professional with broad skills that extend beyond the domain of any particular IT silo.
You typically assume multiple personas, including “the IT professional,” “the communicator” and “the business liaison.” These personas correspond to technical skills, interpersonal skills and business skills, respectively.
You aim to create the best Cloud experience for our customers and users, focusing on building a framework to support the design, plan, implement, operate and govern Cedacri cloud strategies with a view to move our standard solutions to a Cloud native SaaS model.
What you’ll be doing?
• Implementing hybrid IT by integrating different cloud services with back-end, traditional data center services
• Migrating legacy applications to public cloud services in a rehosting (“lift and shift”) approach or in a revising approach for efficiency, agility and disaster recovery (DR)
• Collaborating with developers and owning the “Ops” part of DevOps to ensure that cloud-native workloads are deployed according to IT best practices for security, governance, identity and access management, and monitoring
