Signify Technology is conducting a confidential search for a Vice President of Cloud Engineering. Our client is a growing technology organization seeking an executive to own their cloud platform, spend, and engineering teams. This is a hands-off-keyboard but deeply technical leadership role reporting to the CTO or CIO, with authority over architecture decisions and cloud investment. The client’s name will be shared during the initial conversation.

About the role

This position is ideal for a strategic leader who can shape the cloud engineering strategy and multi-year roadmap across the organization’s cloud platforms. You will lead and grow a multi-team cloud, platform, and DevOps organization, driving architectural direction, financial management, and engineering excellence.

Responsibilities

  • Own the cloud engineering strategy and multi-year roadmap for the organization’s cloud platforms.
  • Lead and grow a multi-team cloud, platform, and DevOps organization, including hiring, mentoring, and developing engineering managers.
  • Set the architectural direction for cloud infrastructure, containerization, and platform services.
  • Own cloud financial management and FinOps, including forecasting, unit economics, and cost optimization.
  • Drive the platform engineering function to enable faster, frictionless product delivery.
  • Own reliability, scalability, and performance targets, including SLOs, on-call, and incident management.
  • Lead migration and modernization programs, such as data center exit, re-platforming, and re-architecture.
  • Partner with Security to embed cloud security and compliance into the platform.
  • Own vendor and hyperscaler relationships, including contract and committed-spend negotiation.
  • Set engineering standards for infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and automation.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in software or infrastructure engineering, with 5+ years leading engineering teams at manager, director, or above level.
  • Experience leading managers, not just individual contributors.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and working fluency across more than one.
  • Proven ownership of a large-scale cloud migration or modernization program end-to-end.
  • Strong background in Kubernetes, containerization, and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent).
  • Demonstrated ownership of a cloud budget, with a track record of measurable cost optimization.
  • Strong grounding in CI/CD, observability, and site reliability practices.
  • Track record of building, leading, and retaining an engineering organization.
  • Legally authorized to work in the United States.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary of $215,000 to $280,000 plus performance bonus (DOE).
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) with employer match.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays.
  • Executive ownership of the cloud platform, its architecture, and its budget.
  • Opportunity to build and lead an engineering organization directly.
  • Genuine authority over technical direction, not a rubber-stamp seat.

Schedule

Florida (Hybrid or Onsite) preferred. Remote considered nationally for the right leader.
