• Define enterprise architecture patterns and cloud best practices that scale across multiple domains and teams.
• Architect and automate deployment solutions across cloud services, including containerized workloads, serverless, and data/messaging services.
• Standardize CI/CD best practices, pipeline design, branching strategy, automated testing, release gating, and rollback.
• Lead infrastructure-as-code adoption across Azure and AWS.
• Manage shared Kubernetes cluster architecture, including namespaces, multi-tenancy, RBAC, and workload isolation.
• Understand cluster networking (CNI, network policies, service mesh) well enough to design for it and troubleshoot it.
• Evaluate and introduce new tooling that improves automation, deployment speed, and reliability.
• Establish observability standards, monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing, across services and environments.
• Define and enforce data and infrastructure governance practices so quality and compliance scale with the platform.
• Lead incident response and post-mortems for infrastructure and deployment issues.
• Mentor engineers on the team in cloud architecture, DevOps practice, and troubleshooting.

Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.

About JLL and JLL Technologies

JLL is a leading professional services firm that specializes in real estate and investment management. Our vision is to reimagine the world of real estate, creating rewarding opportunities and amazing spaces where people can achieve their ambitions. In doing so, we will build a better tomorrow for our clients, our people, and our communities. JLL Technologies is a specialized group within JLL. At JLL Technologies, our mission is to bring technological innovation to commercial real estate. We deliver unparalleled digital advisory, implementation, and services solutions to organizations globally. Our goal is to leverage technology to increase the value and liquidity of the world’s buildings, while enhancing the productivity and happiness of those that occupy them.

The EDP Cloud & DevOps team owns JLL’s data and cloud platform strategy. We partner with colleagues across JLL globally to build the infrastructure, tooling, and engineering practices that let every team ship data and software products reliably, securely, and at scale.

What this job involves

We’re looking for an experienced Cloud engineer to own end‑to‑end design of cloud solutions, drive DevOps and CI/CD best practices, and raise the bar on governance and quality across our Azure and AWS environments. You'll bring 7+ years of hands‑on cloud and DevOps experience, a track record of leading multiple large or complex infrastructure projects, and the judgment to set technical direction across scrum teams without needing to be told what \"good\" looks like.

What you’ll get to do

As a Senior Cloud Engineer, you will have ownership over cloud architecture, deployment automation, and platform reliability across the Enterprise Data Platform. Your work directly serves the data engineering, platform, and application teams who build on top of the infrastructure you design; they depend on you for environments that are secure, scalable, and easy to ship into. Your mission is to make cloud infrastructure and DevOps practice a force multiplier for engineering, not a bottleneck.

Key responsibilities

• Act as cloud architect for the Data Platform team, designing end‑to‑end solutions across compute, networking, identity, storage, and messaging, not just deployment pipelines.
• Drive cloud architecture decisions across Azure and AWS, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and cost‑optimized.
• Define enterprise architecture patterns and cloud best practices that scale across multiple domains and teams.
• Architect and automate deployment solutions across cloud services, including containerized workloads, serverless, and data/messaging services.
• Standardize CI/CD best practices, pipeline design, branching strategy, automated testing, release gating, and rollback.
• Lead infrastructure‑as‑code adoption (Terraform, Bicep, ARM, or CloudFormation) across Azure and AWS.
• Manage shared Kubernetes cluster architecture, including namespaces, multi‑tenancy, RBAC, and workload isolation.
• Understand cluster networking (CNI, network policies, service mesh) well enough to design for it and troubleshoot it.
• Evaluate and introduce new tooling that improves automation, deployment speed, and reliability.
• Establish observability standards, monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing, across services and environments.
• Define and enforce data and infrastructure governance practices so quality and compliance scale with the platform.
• Lead incident response and post‑mortems for infrastructure and deployment issues.
• Mentor engineers on the team in cloud architecture, DevOps practice, and troubleshooting.
• Recommend and drive adoption of best practices across scrum teams within the domain.
• Act as a technical escalation point for complex architecture, deployment, and infrastructure issues.

Who you are

You thrive at the intersection of technical depth and cross‑team influence — equally comfortable designing a disaster‑recovery strategy and explaining why it matters to a room of stakeholders. You challenge the status quo when a process or architecture no longer scales, and you’d rather fix the root cause than patch around it. You take ownership of outcomes across team boundaries, and you enjoy raising the technical bar for the engineers around you.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in Cloud Architecture, DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering, including multiple large or complex projects.
• Hands‑on experience designing end‑to‑end enterprise cloud solutions, not just deploying to existing architecture.
• Deep CI/CD expertise (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI).
• Broad Azure and/or AWS experience across compute, networking, identity, storage, and messaging.
• Proven Kubernetes experience, including shared or multi‑tenant clusters.
• Strong infrastructure‑as‑code experience (Terraform, Bicep, ARM, or CloudFormation).
• Working knowledge of data governance and quality practices as they apply to cloud and infrastructure platforms.
• Strong cross‑functional communication, particularly with data engineering and security teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with GitOps tooling (e.g., ArgoCD) for declarative, automated application deployment.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and embedding security throughout the deployment lifecycle.
• Experience operating in a multi‑cloud or hybrid (cloud + on‑prem) network environment.
• Certifications such as Azure Solutions Architect, AWS Solutions Architect, or CKA.

Compensation, Location and Opening Type
