This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Cloud Engineer based in the United States.
This is a senior individual-contributor role shaping the cloud and platform foundation that powers a fast-growing digital product ecosystem. You will design and operate secure, scalable multi-account cloud infrastructure while driving automation, reliability, and developer productivity at scale. The role blends cloud architecture, infrastructure engineering, and software development with a strong emphasis on platform thinking and AI-assisted workflows. You will be a technical leader influencing standards, architecture decisions, and operational maturity across engineering teams. Expect to work across CI/CD, observability, security, and infrastructure automation in a highly collaborative, remote-first environment. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ownership-heavy environments and enjoys solving complex distributed systems challenges while improving engineering velocity and system resilience.
