This is a greenfield opportunity to design and build new cloud services from the ground up. You'll be joining a dynamic, flexible workplace where you'll have the autonomy and support to do your best work while contributing to one of the world's leading cloud infrastructure platforms.

The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, requiring someone who can balance high-level system design with practical implementation. You'll be expected to mentor junior team members while driving major service components and architectural decisions.
