How to hire a Cloud Engineer

Hiring a cloud engineer is easy, but finding the right one with the necessary cloud expertise and experience is challenging. Companies that wish to create policies for cloud services, and establish secure cloud infrastructure must hire the best cloud engineer. The company must consider multiple factors while hiring a high-experienced cloud engineer. It’s a must for a cloud engineer to have experience in Big Data, ETL Database Architecture, Advanced Analytics and others. On the other hand, it’s both challenging and time-consuming to hire an experienced cloud engineer. But nothing to worry about when FrienSoft is there!

Whether you’re looking for your first Cloud hire or your hundredth, our exclusive network of 1000+ pre-vetted engineers has got you covered. FrienSoft chooses the top remote cloud engineers after evaluating their proficiency in a variety of fields, including cloud coding languages, machine learning, cloud computing platforms, databases, and more. Are you a non-technical manager and curious to know more about the hiring process for a cloud engineer, we’ve put together a great resource for you.

Why hire a Cloud Engineer?

Azure Cloud Engineers are responsible for performing the technical tasks involved in cloud computing. Although smaller companies frequently hire a single cloud engineer as a generalist, larger companies are more likely to split the role into many positions for more specialized expertise. For a Cloud Engineer to succeed, it’s a must for them to have prior expertise with at least one of the three major cloud providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.

A Cloud Engineer can be hired for the following:
  • To Identify and deploy the company’s best cloud-based solutions in collaboration with the engineering team.
  • Define and record the best methods and tactics for deploying applications and maintaining infrastructure.
  • Specify and keep a record of the most effective techniques and strategies for setting up and maintaining infrastructure.
  • Ensure application size, performance, and uptime while upholding high standards of code quality and thoughtful design
  • Manage cloud infrastructures in compliance with the organization’s security policies.

What qualities should you look for in a cloud engineer?

Cloud engineers should be proficient in the following areas:

1. Understanding of databases

Database knowledge might be regarded as a critical requirement to be a successful cloud engineer. All of the data will be kept in the database, thus you don’t want to hire a cloud developer who is only vaguely familiar with or knows very little about database storage. Instead, work with a cloud engineer who is familiar with DBMS platforms like MongoDB, Cassandra, Oracle, MySQL, etc.

2. Understanding of Version Control Systems

Software Development cannot be completed without an understanding of version control systems. Popular versioning systems like Git assist cloud engineers in maintaining complete control over the software development process. Cloud engineers that are proficient in using these platforms can quickly and effectively work on any project.

3. Knowledge of various cloud infrastructures

The use of cloud infrastructures is significant in enterprises. It helps in the development of massive data analytics systems, the automation of setup and management of complex tasks, and more. When hiring cloud engineers, make sure they are capable of working with a variety of cloud computing platforms, such as AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.

4. Writing clean code

An experienced cloud engineer should be well-versed in several programming languages that are frequently used while creating software for various cloud platforms. However, you want to hire a cloud engineer that not only understands several programming languages but also appreciates the value of producing clean code.

5. Knowing machine learning

Within the last few years, machine learning has been very well-liked among engineers. An experienced cloud engineer needs to have a solid understanding of the various machine learning methods as well as how they work. Successful cloud engineers are adept at understanding how this field works and how to utilize it in various projects

6. Knowledge of computer science fundamentals

Another essential requirement for a successful cloud engineer is a deep understanding of the principles of computer science. You need to hire a cloud engineer with sufficient knowledge of data structures (such as stacks, queues, trees, and graphs), algorithms (such as searching and sorting), space and time complexity, and other computer science principles.

7. Understanding of ecosystems for continuous integration

Continuous Integration aids in verifying the assumptions made when developing a web application. It allows for an additional level of transparency in the software development process. An experienced cloud engineer must have an understanding of and practical expertise in continuous integration settings along with other crucial skills.

When is the right time to hire a cloud engineer?

The quick response is that large organizations with intricate systems and multiple clouds will gain the most from employing a cloud architect or engineer. Another point to consider is whether your company uses sensitive data. If so, cloud architects and azure engineers will boost system performance and limit its susceptibility to cyberattacks.

Here’s a closer look at a few typical indications that it might be time to recruit a cloud computing engineer.

High cloud spending

To Identify and deploy the company’s best cloud-based solutions in collaboration with the engineering team.

Your workload is extensive and complicated

If your firm has large-scale projects that utilize lots of resources and cloud services, Software developers most likely lack the cloud expertise necessary to maintain excellent performance and security while staying within budget. A cloud engineer could effectively help you.

You have a multi-cloud environment

Cloud engineers and architects are usually a smart choice for efficiently managing all of the clouds that your company uses.

High security is required

Cloud engineer expertise is essential when working with sensitive data, such as in the health or financial industries, and needing to reduce the risk of breaches and hacks. If your company is in any of the above-mentioned circumstances it will be a plus if a cloud engineer joins your team. Finding an experienced cloud engineer might be challenging. We’ll look at how to find a cloud engineer who meets your demands in the sections that follow.
