Job Description

Staff Cloud Platform Engineer

Insight Enterprises, Inc.

Role Description 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: - 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 templates, Apigee proxy accelerators, and API Ops pipeline templates that reduce delivery time on future engagements. Qualifications - 8+ years of hands-on cloud engineering experience, with at least 4 years in a professional services, consulting, or delivery-led environment. - Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end cloud migration programs at enterprise scale — multi-wave, multi-team datacenter exit or estate transformation programs involving 500+ workloads. - Demonstrated experience designing and governing Apigee X or Apigee Hybrid deployments in production enterprise environments, including legacy gateway migration programs. Requirements - Cloud Migrations (Depth — Advanced): Assess customer estates holistically and assign the correct migration pattern — rehost, replatform, refactor, rebuild, retire, or replace — based on application complexity, business criticality, technical debt, and cost of change; no single pattern dominates. - Lead Complex Estate Transformations end-to-end: multi-layer coordination across application, data, network, and security workstreams; custom tooling development where standard products are insufficient. - Select and deploy the right migration tooling for each program: Migrate to Virtual Machines, Migrate to Containers, Database Migration Service, Striim, Datastream, Carbonite Migrate, Zerto — matched to program constraints, not defaulted to. - Design hybrid and multi-cloud architectures required during phased datacenter exits where workloads must operate across on-premises and GCP simultaneously during transition. - Advise customers on migration strategy at an executive level — including the honest recommendation to retire, replace, or not migrate specific workloads — with impartiality and without defaulting to the approach that maximizes delivery scope. - Own migration program governance: wave sequencing, dependency tracking, risk register management, rollback planning, and executive-level customer reporting across complex programs. - Scope and estimate migration complexity using structured discovery and assessment tooling (CloudPhysics, Turbonomic, Migrate to Virtual Machines discovery); produce estimates defensible to customers that hold through delivery. - API Management & Integration — Apigee (Depth — Advanced): Architect multi-region Apigee X deployments with Global Load Balancing, cross-region failover, and Private Service Connect for southbound connectivity to distributed backends. - Design and deliver Apigee Hybrid deployments on GKE for organizations managing APIs across on-premises and GCP simultaneously; own the operational model for hybrid runtime management. - Design Global API Mesh: org-wide shared flow governance, reusable security fragment libraries, standardized error taxonomies, and API product portfolio governance across multiple teams and business units. - Lead large-scale legacy gateway migration programs (MuleSoft, Kong, Akana, AWS API Gateway, Azure API Management) to Apigee: proxy inventory, policy equivalence mapping, proxy template design, migration wave sequencing, and northbound cutover planning. - Advise on API product strategy, versioning policies, deprecation paths, and the organizational model for API producer and consumer teams — including governance structures that prevent API sprawl at enterprise scale. - Implement Advanced API Security: bot detection, volumetric threat protection, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT verification and generation, mutual TLS, and integration with enterprise identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, Google Cloud Identity, Ping Identity). - Platform Engineering & DevOps (Breadth — Practitioner): Build and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and API delivery using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Tekton; implement IaC orchestration tooling (Spacelift, Atlantis, or Terraform Enterprise) with appropriate access controls. - Write production-grade Terraform modules; manage remote state and multi-environment workspaces; resolve state conflicts and drift in delivery environments. - Implement API Ops CI/CD pipelines using Maven or Python Apigee plugins; understand release orchestration patterns (blue/green, canary) using Cloud Deploy or ArgoCD. - Configure structured observability: SLIs, SLOs, custom dashboards, and alerting policies relevant to migration and API platform delivery programs. - Data & Application Modernization (Breadth — Practitioner): Execute database migrations using Database Migration Service for homogeneous migrations; understand prerequisites, failure modes, and when to escalate to heterogeneous migration tooling (Striim, Datastream). - Contribute to application re-platforming workstreams: containerization onto GKE or Cloud Run, workload identity configuration, and namespace design. - Understand BigQuery as a modernized analytical platform; contribute to upstream pipeline integration where migrations produce new data flows. - Identify when post-migration modernization — event-driven decoupling, managed database adoption, or GKE re-platforming — represents a genuine follow-on opportunity for the customer. Benefits - Continuous opportunities to upskill, earn promotions, and elevate your career.
