About the Role

The Wallet, Payments and Commerce (WPC) Cloud Engineering team is seeking an experienced Senior Cloud Engineer to own complex problems and drive cross-functional, scalable solutions. This role involves leading cloud platform initiatives, setting technical direction, and improving quality, security, and customer focus.

Responsibilities

  • Set technical direction on project teams.
  • Raise the bar on quality, security, and customer focus across the organization.
  • Own systems end-to-end in production.
  • Build platforms and platform-as-a-product.
  • Own multi-tenant, multi-cluster, multi-region footprints end-to-end.
  • Design composition and provider patterns at scale.
  • Bake guardrails into the platform so the secure path is the easy path.
  • Defend trade-offs to security partners.
  • Know which public cloud services to use, when to use them, and when not to.
  • Ensure everything ships through pipelines, promotion is declarative, and rollback is a non-event.
  • Debug cross-region connectivity issues.
  • Find the actual cause when the symptom is 'it's slow sometimes'.
  • Design for failure, not just success.
  • Mentor engineers.
  • Drive technical direction across a project team.
  • Align solutions with business objectives in ambiguous, cross-functional environments.

  • Experience with Security-first architecture with Policy as Code (Kyverno, OPA/Gatekeeper).
  • Public cloud expertise across AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.
  • Experience with GitOps and CI/CD with Flux, Jenkins, Kargo.
  • Strong networking fundamentals (NATs, TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, mTLS).
  • Linux internals and systems-level troubleshooting experience.
  • Microservices and distributed systems experience.
  • Experience with service meshes (Istio, Traefik, LinkerD).
  • Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Sensu).
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, drive technical direction across a project team, and align solutions with business objectives in ambiguous, cross-functional environments.
