Summary: This is a playercoach leadership role responsbile for designing, engineering, and operating Cloud Management Platform (CMP) capabiliites end-to-end including platform integrations, self-service provisoning, DevOps pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automation, governance controls, and platform experience. The role will remain hands-on while leading and mentoring a cross-functional CMP engineering team and implementation partners, contributing directly to solution design, platform engineering, automation, and criticial implementation decisions to deliver secure, policy-driven cloud operations, measurable operational efficiency, cost optimization, and scalable platform adoption across the enterprise in regulated environment.

Roles and Responsibilities

Responsibilities:

1) Backend & API Integration (Handson)

- 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, postconfig, 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 (Handson)

- 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 selfservice catalogs and blueprints for singleVM, multitier 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 quickstart 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 selfservice CMP catalogs and endtoend automation in multicloud/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.
