Job description

Bruxelles, Belgium | Posted on 24/04/2026

We are seeking a skilled Cloud Engineer on behalf of one of our clients — a forward-thinking organisation embarking on a significant cloud transformation journey. This is a consulting-style engagement, offering the opportunity to drive cloud strategy and deliver tangible business value.

About the Client

Our client is a multinational organisation planning to accelerate their cloud adoption and modernise their infrastructure. They value secure, scalable and cost-efficient cloud solutions, and are looking for a partner who can design, deliver and support a robust cloud environment to meet both current and future needs.

What You'll Be Doing — Key Responsibilities

Evaluate the client's existing IT infrastructure and cloud maturity, identifying potential cloud-use cases and recommending migration or modernisation strategies.

Architect, design, and implement cloud solutions — including IaaS, PaaS, data/analytics platforms — across public, hybrid or multi-cloud environments.

Lead cloud-migration and transformation projects: from planning and design to execution and delivery for production environments.

Develop and apply modern delivery practices (CI/CD, automation, Infrastructure-as-Code) to enable efficient, repeatable deployments and cloud-native operations.

Collaborate closely with stakeholders across both the client's teams and internal consulting teams — including business stakeholders, technical leads, operations and security.

Provide architectural oversight: define cloud-architecture standards, ensure security, cost-efficiency, performance and compliance considerations are addressed.

Prepare business-cases, cost analyses (TCO/ROI), and link cloud strategy to tangible business benefits for the client.

Present solutions and results to senior leadership and business stakeholders, translating technical concepts into business value.

Mentor and guide project teams when required — helping embed cloud-native practices and build internal capability.

What We Are Looking For — Skills & Experience

Technical / Cloud Architecture & Delivery

You have at least 4+ years of hands‑on experience delivering cloud solutions for mid- to large-size enterprises (IaaS / PaaS / data & analytics) across major public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP or a mix).

You can assess business requirements and translate them into scalable, secure cloud architectures that balance performance, cost, and operational constraints.

You are proficient with automation / Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g. Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible), scripting languages (e.g. Python, Bash) and familiar with containerisation / orchestration technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes) where applicable.

You understand cloud networking, identity & access management (IAM), security best practices, compliance, and cost-management in cloud environments.

Consulting / Stakeholder Management & Soft Skills

You have a proven track record working in consulting or client‑facing roles: able to engage with senior stakeholders, understand business needs, and lead cloud delivery programmes.

Strong communication skills: you can articulate complex technical details into clear business‑focused proposals, business cases and executive presentations.

Problem‑solving mindset, ability to drive decisions across technical, operational and business domains.

Comfort working in cross‑functional teams (business, IT, operations, security), managing change, and driving collaborative delivery under tight timelines.

What's On Offer

The opportunity to influence and lead a cloud‑transformation for a substantial client — shaping architecture, driving strategy and delivering real impact.

A consulting‑style engagement with variety: you'll work across different platforms, use‑cases and potentially hybrid / multi‑cloud setups.

Ability to contribute both technically (architecture, delivery, automation) and from a business‑value perspective (TCO/ROI, stakeholder engagement, change management).

Exposure to senior stakeholders, strategic decision‑making, and opportunities to grow into technical leadership or cloud‑strategy advisory roles.
