Careers at Cloud Nation

Open Rolesfor Engineers buildingproduction systems.

Context

We are a small, senior boutique consultancy working hands-on in cloud, data, and AI projects. Joining us means building real systems that run under real production conditions for clients and internal products.

Why these roles

Small teams. Direct ownership. Delivery that still holds after go-live.

These roles are based on our current job profiles. We condensed them for the website while preserving the core: technical depth, clear ownership, and motivation to build systems that work in daily operations.

Small teams, real ownership

You work close to architecture, implementation, and operations. Decisions are made by the people building the system, not delegated across layers.

Production enterprise systems

Our projects run inside real corporate and mid-market landscapes. That means real governance, real delivery responsibility, and technology that must hold up in day-to-day use.

Technical depth over slideware

We are looking for people who design clean systems, deliver pragmatically, and feel comfortable in code as well as architecture and stakeholder sessions.

Open roles

Three job profiles, each with a clear technical focus.

Every role starts with the same expectations: sound engineering, clear communication, and ownership for production outcomes.

Job Profile
