Key responsibilities include leading technical designs, implementing robust solutions, mentoring team members, and maintaining high operational standards. You'll need 5+ years of professional software development experience, strong programming skills, and a proven track record in system architecture and team leadership.

The role offers significant growth opportunities through knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and career development resources. You'll be part of a culture that embraces continuous learning, diversity through employee-led affinity groups, and strives to become Earth's Best Employer. If you're passionate about cloud technology and want to make a significant impact on how enterprises adopt cloud computing, this role offers an excellent opportunity to shape the future of cloud migration services.
