Senior Manager Software Engineering - Cloud Engineering (Remote)

With a career at The Home Depot, you can be yourself and also be part of something bigger.

Position Purpose:

As the Senior Manager of Cloud Engineering, you will lead the teams that build and operate the platforms, tooling, and cost discipline that let enable every product team at The Home Depot to build, ship, and run in the cloud efficiently and safely. You will own a connected set of responsibilities: the paved-path platform foundations, services, and guardrails that teams build on; the deployment and delivery tooling that makes releases fast, safe, and low-friction; and the cost management and optimization practices that keep cloud spend efficient and sustainable as the business scales. You will champion a paved-path approach that makes the right way the easy way, reducing friction so teams can develop, deploy, and support their applications with less toil. You will partner with our most strategic cloud and tooling vendors to ensure the right capabilities are readily available across the Enterprise, and you will bring an experiment-driven, metrics-informed mindset — including modern AI and agentic workflows — to how the platform evolves. You will partner closely with Platform Reliability Engineering to balance reliability, developer experience, and cost, and you will grow the next generation of cloud engineering talent, leading teams focused on building these capabilities and sharing them across the organization.
