The Cloud Acceleration Team (CAT) uses stream-aligned product teams to deliver product features to the business at a higher speed with reduced coordination.  The team empowers a cloud-native platform comprising a foundation of self-service APIs, tools, services, knowledge, support, organization structure, and operating model arranged as a compelling product.  This will provide operational support for the platform initially to enable accelerated feature delivery.

As a Cloud Engineer II, you will be defining and executing the public cloud-centric core infrastructure services and common design patterns for computing, storage, networking, and security domains.  You will also be developing and maintaining automation frameworks for platform provisioning consumed by application product teams while advising them on incorporating cloud infrastructure capabilities with a DevOps mindset.  You will be actively collaborating with site reliability engineers to develop patterns, templates, and standards for pipeline automation.  You will be identifying emerging cloud infrastructure services to meet business resiliency requirements.  UMB is on a multi-year program to modernize critical infrastructure and business systems.  These programs are in flight, and this individual will serve as a thought leader and a consensus builder with a technology-savvy mindset.  As a pragmatic, results-driven engineer, you will be articulating complex IT concepts to all audiences, from technical contributors inside and outside the company.  This is a subset of overall responsibilities set by IT leadership team.
