Reference No CID/15
Cloud Developers are essentially software engineers with a specialization in cloud computing. That means on top of development experience, Cloud Developers must have a solid understanding of cloud systems — not only how they operate, but how to deploy them securely, efficiently, and with little-to-no downtime.
The holder of the role will be responsible for the design, build and automation around deployment and infrastructure management. This includes Infrastructure as Code, automating configuration management, provisioning, patching, and cloud self-service portals.  He/ She will design, build tooling and infrastructure to drive adoption of best practices in resource utilization, organization, monitoring, and maintainability of existing and future public infrastructure deployments.
The role holder will develop and provide corresponding project documentation for handover to support team.
