Senior Engineer - Cloud Services
About the role
As a Senior Engineer in Cloud Services at Sysco LABS, you will be responsible for owning and supporting the transformation of multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure services. The role involves designing and implementing secure, scalable, and highly available cloud environments across AWS, GCP, and Azure, as well as supporting AI/ML workloads and cloud governance platforms. You will set enterprise standards for Infrastructure-as-Code, automated governance, edge security, and developer enablement, while also bridging modern cloud engineering practices with IT Service Management frameworks. The position requires hands-on engineering execution, technical leadership, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure robust service quality and compliance.
Must have
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or equivalent.
- 4+ years of total progressive industry experience in IT infrastructure and software delivery.
- 2+ years of dedicated hands-on cloud engineering, platform design, or operational experience.
- Proven track record of hands-on experience across at least one major cloud vendor (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP).
- Thorough understanding or core cloud foundational services (networking/VPC peering, enterprise IAM, hybrid connectivity, compute, and container runtimes) across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with a proven ability to design and manage resilient, high-performance multi-cloud platforms.
- Expertise in Infrastructure-as-Code tooling (Terraform, Terragrunt) and modern CI/CD ecosystems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
- Strong working knowledge of configuration management and automation frameworks (Python, Bash, PowerShell, Ansible).
- Understanding of networking, CDN caching tiers, WAF configurations (i.e. Fastly CDN, NGWAF), and hybrid cloud connectivity.
- Experience in implementing/supporting cloud security controls, encryption (at rest and in transit), key management systems, vulnerability assessments, and SIEM integrations.
- AI Governance & Cloud Integration: Familiarity with supporting governance, security controls, and resource optimization for cloud-native AI/ML services.
- Responsible AI & Compliance: Understanding of data residency, privacy frameworks, and security baselines required when deploying AI models in enterprise multi-cloud environments.
- ITSM & ITIL Frameworks: Solid working knowledge of ITIL principles, particularly concerning change enablement, incident management, problem management, and Configuration Management Database (CMDB) tracking in multi-cloud architectures.
- Cloud Certifications: Active certification from at least one major cloud provider at the minimum of Associate/Engineer level.
- Communication & Influence: Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation abilities; adept at translating complex architectural trade-offs and risks into business terms for executive leadership.
Nice to have
- Experience in two cloud vendors would be an advantage.
- Infrastructure Automation Certifications: Having HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (or higher Authoring and Operations Professional) is an added advantage.
- Service Management: Certification in ITIL v4 Foundation or above would be an added advantage.
