About the role

We are looking for a Staff Cloud Engineer with deep expertise in cloud migration programs and API management to join our professional services practice. In this role, you will own delivery outcomes across complex, multi-workstream engagements — coordinating engineers, advising customer stakeholders on technical strategy, and serving as the authoritative voice on migration architecture and API platform design. Success looks like this: customer programs that deliver on time and on scope, engineers who are unblocked and accountable, and customers who trust your judgment enough to bring you their next challenge before the current one is finished. You will get to:

• Own delivery outcomes across multiple parallel workstreams simultaneously, including large-scale cloud migration programs and API management engagements; accountable for overall team output quality across L2–L4 engineers. 

• Lead complex estate transformations: coordinate multi-layer migration programs spanning application, data, network, and security teams across coordinated waves with hard decommission deadlines. 

• Architect and govern API platforms: design multi-region Apigee X deployments, Global API Mesh governance structures, and large-scale legacy gateway migrations (MuleSoft, Kong, Akana, AWS API Gateway) from proxy inventory through northbound cutover. 

• Validate all workstream estimates before they are presented to customers; own the accuracy of the overall delivery timeline and escalate scope risks before they become delivery failures. 

• Act as a trusted technical advisor to customer architects, program managers, and senior stakeholders on migration strategy, API platform governance, and cross-domain trade-offs. 

• Gather requirements directly from customer stakeholders and translate them into scoped, deliverable technical programs — without requiring a project manager to mediate the conversation. 

• Identify and own escalations within engagements; resolve technical blockers and delivery risks before they surface as customer issues. 

• Proactively identify expansion opportunities beyond the current statement of work — post-migration modernization, API monetization, governance maturity programs, or platform engineering follow-ons — and shape those conversations with customer stakeholders. 

• Challenge misaligned decisions: push back on unrealistic timelines, over-scoped commitments, or technically misguided PM proposals with data and reasoned alternatives. 

• Mentor and coordinate L2–L4 engineers across delivery programs; conduct technical reviews, validate architecture decisions, and hold the team accountable for quality and pace. 

• Contribute to practice IP: produce reusable assessment frameworks, migration wave
