• Establish and lead a Cloud Center of Excellence that sets shared cloud standards cross functionally.
• Oversee the task force moving applications from private data center to the cloud.
• Provide director-level communication, status reporting, and escalation management to leadership.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years leading engineering teams and leading engineering managers.
• Proven leader and mentor of direct reports, with a track record of building strong teams.
• Experience leading multiple teams through a sprint-based SDLC with predictable delivery.
• Deep software engineering background; highly technical and credible with engineers and architects.
• 5+ years of hands-on cloud (AWS) experience and strong knowledge of cloud engineering and DevOps.
• Cloud governance experience, including FinOps, tagging, IAM, and security baselines, with strong knowledge of cloud and infrastructure security.
• Ability to influence teams and leaders who do not report to you.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, including experience with executive audiences and clients.
• BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience migrating applications and databases from on-premise data centers to the cloud is a plus.

What Success Looks Like

• Maintains a strong product engineering team whose managers grow and own their areas.
• Delivers the product roadmap predictably while keeping the platform stable and secure.
• Brings cloud cost, tagging, and security standards under clear, centralized governance.
• Makes the Cloud Center of Excellence the go-to source for cloud standards across the organization.
• Moves applications out of the data center on plan, without disruption to clients.
