With a unique blend of engineering vision, hands-on technical expertise, and the freedom to work wherever you do your best thinking, this role serves as your launchpad for making a meaningful impact. Here, you’ll drive cloud transformation, not just for one team, but for every product, project, and user relying on our platform’s reliability and speed.

This isn’t about following cloud trends. It’s about setting them. With an annual salary of $148,146 and a remote-first approach, you’re empowered to build, collaborate, and innovate on your terms—no matter where you live in Washington.

What You’ll Tackle Every Day

🔧 Architect Systems That Power Real Progress

Every new deployment, every system upgrade, every automated process—each one is a chance to raise the bar for what’s possible. You’ll design and optimize cloud infrastructure that stands up to real-world pressure, scales with confidence, and makes downtime a thing of the past.

  • Engineer multi-cloud solutions that span AWS, GCP, and Azure
  • Develop self-healing systems that anticipate issues before users ever notice
  • Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate routine work and accelerate delivery
  • Continually fine-tune network performance and data security
  • Build fault-tolerant architectures that keep applications running—even when the unexpected happens

🤝 Turn Collaboration Into Your Superpower

Great cloud engineering isn’t done in a silo. You’ll partner across engineering, security, and product teams to align strategies and deliver features that solve real user needs. When there’s a challenge, you’re the one bringing people together to create lasting solutions.

  • Guide development teams through seamless CI/CD adoption
  • Build bridges between DevOps and application teams to streamline releases
  • Share expertise with security, helping design compliance and risk controls that work in practice, not just on paper
  • Contribute to product planning sessions, ensuring our infrastructure keeps up with fast-paced growth

🚀 Drive Innovation at Every Turn

Maintenance mode isn’t in your vocabulary. You thrive on introducing improvements and championing new tools that give everyone an edge. You see each gap or pain point as an opportunity to deliver better outcomes for the whole business.

  • Lead platform upgrades that unlock speed, reliability, and scalability
  • Optimize resource usage—saving money and supercharging performance
  • Reduce outages by building smarter alerting and observability into every layer
  • Pilot cutting-edge solutions, from container orchestration to serverless frameworks

The Mindset That Matters

🎯 Obsessed with Outcomes

You’re not just here to tick boxes or keep servers online. You view each sprint, ticket, and deployment as an opportunity to make life easier for developers and better for end users.

  • You translate complexity into clarity, explaining cloud choices in plain English
  • You dig into data to make decisions and measure what matters
  • You sweat the details, but keep your eye on the big picture

🌍 Born for Remote, Built for Collaboration

You thrive in remote teams—balancing independence with true connection. Async work isn’t a compromise; it’s your edge. You know how to keep momentum high, feedback flowing, and blockers unblocked, no matter where you’re working from.

  • Write documentation that people actually read and use
  • Keep conversations proactive, positive, and always moving forward
  • Own your outcomes—communicating challenges and sharing wins in real time

The Difference You’ll Make

This isn’t a role where your contributions get lost in the noise. As a Remote Cloud Engineer, your fingerprints are on every release, every incident averted, and every system that keeps the business moving. You’ll be counted on to:

  • Design, implement, and maintain cloud systems that serve thousands, without missing a beat
  • Slash deployment times from hours to minutes, helping teams ship faster
  • Lead post-mortems that don’t just assign blame, but drive real improvements
  • Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge that multiplies impact
  • Introduce automation that saves hundreds of hours annually

How We’ll Invest in You

This team believes growth isn’t optional—it’s expected and celebrated. You’ll have access to:

  • Annual stipends for cloud certifications and advanced technical workshops
  • Peer learning in weekly engineering huddles and brown-bag sessions
  • One-on-one mentorship with senior architects and tech leads
  • Opportunities to take the lead on high-visibility projects and initiatives

What Success Looks Like

  • The platform is robust, scalable, and users barely notice an upgrade, because it “just works.”
  • Engineering teams trust infrastructure to support bold moves, not slow them down
  • Security and compliance are built-in, not tacked on
  • You’re growing as fast as the business—upskilling, certifying, and leading
