Cloud engineer career path

In your cloud engineer career at Zühlke, you’ll optimise and manage cloud infrastructures and make critical implementation decisions. You’ll select the right cloud services and coding languages to meet each challenge, and you’ll work with cloud architects to ensure every cloud solution aligns with the big picture.

Just like every other role at Zühlke, cloud engineer careers at Zühlke are about continuous learning. Not just in terms of seminars and certification courses, but during practical project work for clients.

For example: understanding real-life data storage and data migration challenges; the most common pitfalls during the implementation of in-house, public, private, or hybrid cloud platforms; and how to improve your communication skills through collaborative project work with other engineers. 

If you’re looking for a cloud engineering career that involves continuously applying new knowledge and skills in a practical setting, this is the role for you. 

Cloud architect career path

In your cloud architect career at Zühlke, you’ll help shape success for every project you work on. You’ll sit at the leadership table, guiding high-level strategic discussions with valuable insights into how cloud solutions can help clients achieve their goals.

As a cloud architect at Zühlke, you’ll help define project roadmaps, drive momentum, and prioritise tasks. You’ll foster collaboration and lead technical discussions towards informed decisions. And you’ll listen actively to your team to empower them to use the full power of their knowledge and expertise for the good of the project.

But, cloud architect careers at Zühlke still involve rolling up your sleeves and getting hands-on with the implementation process. You won’t lose your connection to the practical aspects of the cloud solutions we build for clients.

Cloud security career path

In your cloud security career path, you’ll make critical decisions and take actions to safeguard the integrity of cloud environments. You’ll find potential threats and vulnerabilities with comprehensive risk assessments, evaluate data exposure, and enforce clear and thorough access controls. 

Cloud security careers at Zühlke also involve designing and implementing security architectures tailored for unique cloud environments. You’ll configure identity and access management policies and implement data protection measures to keep users and information safe.

You’ll also keep abreast of industry regulations and internal security policies, conduct audits and maintain governance frameworks. You’ll monitor for security incidents, lead the response to those incidents, and collaborate closely with other IT teams to ensure every development and operational process is secure.

If you’re someone who’s tech-savvy, security-conscious, detail-oriented, and enjoys solving complex problems, a cloud security career at Zühlke could be what you’re looking for.

A career of your own

How do we keep up with cloud trends at Zühlke?

At Zühlke, we support every cloud practitioner to stay at the forefront of cloud trends by looking for opportunities to integrate new technologies into client work.

We support everyone to learn continuously. If there’s a certification program you think would benefit your career, you’ll have the time and encouragement to follow the path you choose. Zühlke will invest in your certification journey and align it with your development plan. While certifications are important, we also believe in diving deep into practical experiences. It’s the only way you’ll see cloud's real-world impact.
