Delinea is seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to design, maintain, and secure the hosting platform for two global SaaS products. This role combines platform architecture leadership with hands-on infrastructure operations, requiring deep expertise in cloud-native systems, Kubernetes, and compliance frameworks.
You will define and promote cloud-native architectural patterns across the platform, lead architecture decisions and design reviews, and serve as the escalation point for complex technical problems. You'll own service level objectives (SLOs) that underpin internal and external SLAs, ensuring high availability, resilience, and scalability across the infrastructure estate. A key focus is driving observability and monitoring improvements to proactively identify and resolve issues, as well as leading capacity planning and cloud cost optimization initiatives.
The role encompasses full solution design lifecycle ownership—from analysis and architecture through development, deployment, and ongoing operations. You'll drive the evolution of infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and progressive delivery practices to improve delivery speed, consistency, and reliability. You'll also reduce operational toil through automation, self-service tooling, and standardization.
Compliance and security are central: you'll apply and uphold relevant frameworks including ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, and NIST SP 800-53 in platform design and operations. You'll foster a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing within the team.
Delinea's platform secures human and machine identities through intelligent, centralized authorization. The company is backed by TPG and emphasizes world-class product leadership, outstanding engineering, and a culture of respect and innovation.
