Role

Responsibilities:

1) Backend & API Integration (Hands‑on)

• Design and implement CMP platform integrations using REST APIs/SDKs (e.g., CloudBolt, Morpheus, vRealize Automation).
• Build microservices and integration adapters to connect CMP with ITSM (ServiceNow/Jira), CMDB, secrets management (Vault/KMS), event buses (Kafka/SNS), and FinOps tooling.
• Develop reusable Python/PowerShell/Bash libraries for provisioning, post‑config, tagging, and lifecycle actions.
• Implement policy-as-code (tagging, RBAC, quota, approvals) enforceable through workflows and API gateways.
• Own authentication & authorization patterns (OIDC/SAML, SCIM, service principals) and secure inbound/outbound integrations.
• Establish reusable integration standards, API governannce, and reference patterns across CMP modules and enterprise platforms.

2) DevOps, IaC & Platform Engineering (Hands‑on)

• Standardize Infrastructure as Code: author Terraform/CloudFormation modules and publish them via CMP catalogs.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab CI) for CMP workflows, IaC modules, and versioned blueprints.
• Define engineering guardrails, release governance, and environment promotion controls to ensure scalable and complaint platform operations.
• Implement GitOps processes (branching, reviews, releases) for CMP artifacts and environment promotion.
• Integrate observability (logs/metrics/traces) for CMP workflows (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK/CloudWatch) and define SLOs/SLAs.
• Drive drift detection and remediation across cloud accounts; automate patching/hardening baselines.
• Champion cost optimization (rightsizing, scheduling, RI/SP management, budget guardrails) and FinOps reporting.

3) CMP Frontend (Catalogs, Blueprints, UX)

• Design intuitive self‑service catalogs and blueprints for single‑VM, multi‑tier apps, Kubernetes clusters, and data services.
• Embed governance by design: tagging, ownership, chargeback/showback, approvals, and compliance checks within catalog items.
• Define user roles and journeys (developers, SREs, data teams, security) and optimize CMP UX for adoption.
• Publish documentation, run enablement sessions, and create quick‑start templates and runbooks.
• Act as the primary technical authority for CMP engineering, automation and platform adoption decisions.
• Review and approve designs, PRs, and changes; manage backlog, priorities, and release cadence.
• Coordinate with Security, Network, Finance/FinOps, Compliance to align CMP outcomes to enterprise policies and regulatory needs.

4) Engineering Leadership & Co-Development

• Lead internal CMP engineering capability development and structured knowledge transfer from implementation partners.
• Define engineering standards, reusable assets, and platform operating principles.
• Manage delivery priorities, backlog governance, and technical-decision making.
• Drive adoption and enablement across stakeholder teams.
• Establish measurable engineering outcomes, operational KPIs, and continuous improvement practices for CMP delivery.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (mandatory).
• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cloud Computing, or Business/Technology Management (preferred).
• Equivalent professional experience in cloud platform engineering and automation may be considered in lieu of advanced educational qualifications.
  

Experience:

• Minimum 12 years total experience
• 3-5 years in CMP / Cloud Platform Engineering / Automation Leadership
• Proven delivery of self‑service CMP catalogs and end‑to‑end automation in multi‑cloud/hybrid setups
• Experience leading small engineering teams (2–8 engineers/specialists) preferred
• Experience working in co-development, platform modernization, or enterprise transformation programs preferred.

Knowledge:

• Cloud Management Platforms (CMP): Architecture, workflows, service catalogs, governance, extensibility and operating models for CMP including exposure to platforms such as CloudBolt, Morpheus, VMware vRealize.
• Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Strategy: Design principles for private, public and hybrid cloud environments; interoperability, workload portability, and migration patterns.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC):Strong understanding of infrastructure as Code principles including reusable modules, version control, environment promotion, and GitOps practices using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible
• Automation & Orchestration: Workflow orchestration, policy enforcement, task sequencing, provisioning automation, and integration across CMP and enterprise platforms.
• API & Integration Patterns: RESTful API design, authentication (OAuth/OIDC), SDK usage, and integration with enterprise systems including ITSM, CMDB, and FinOps tooling.
• DevOps & CI/CD: CI/CD principles, artifact lifecycle management, automated testing, release governannce and platform engineering practices.
• Cloud Security & Governance: Identify and access management, encryption, RBAC, policy-as-code, auditability, compliance controls, and secure automatoin practives.
• Observability and Reliability Engineering: Monitoring, logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, SLO/SLA management, drift detection, and operational resilence.
• Cost Optimization & FinOps:Tagging strategies, chargeback/showback, budget governance, resource optimization, and cloud cost visibility.
• Containerization & Platform Operations: Container orchestration concepts, Kubernets ecosystem awareness, and deployment lifecycle integration.

Skills:

• CMP Expertise: Advanced capability in designing and operating CMP platforms including service catalogs, workflows, blueprint management, and extensibility.
• API Development & Integration: Strong proficiency in RESTful API design, authentication (OAuth/OIDC), SDK integration, and building reusable integration adapters across enterprise platforms
