Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Join SADA as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer!

Your Mission 

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at SADA, you will work collaboratively to provide high quality infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform for our cloud and hybrid-cloud customers. You will have an opportunity to engage with meaningful problems facing our customers. Engagements vary from being consultative to requiring hands-on work, and include a variety of areas from workload migrations to experimental infrastructures, hybrid-cloud solutions, and automated CI/CD pipelines. You will have the opportunity to be a thought leader both in and outside of SADA by developing best-practice recommendations. 

You are a problem solver and possess a diverse background in areas such as architecture design, distributed systems, infrastructure migration, and deployment strategies. You are able to navigate ambiguity, have experience working with cloud technologies, and enjoy working with customers.

You will be recognized as an established contributor by your team. You will contribute design and implementation components for multiple projects. You will work mostly independently with limited oversight. You will also participate in client-facing discussions in areas of expertise. 

Pathway to Success 

#MakeThemRave is at the foundation of all our engineering. Our motivation is to provide customers with an exceptional experience in migrating, developing, modernizing, and operationalizing their systems in Google Cloud Platform.

Your success comes from your enthusiasm, insight, and positive impact. You will be given direct feedback quarterly with respect to the scope and quality of your contributions, your ability to estimate accurately, customer feedback at the close of projects, your collaboration with your peers, and the consultative skill you demonstrate in
customer interactions. 

As you continue to execute successfully, we will build a personalized development plan together that leads you through the engineering or management growth tracks.
