They ensure that everything stays on track, on budget and that the company’s transition to cloud operations goes smoothly. Cloud engineers are responsible for the managerial aspects of a company’s cloud strategies. Engineers often work alongside architects to ensure a company’s cloud strategies are implemented.
Cloud Software Developer: Cloud software engineers work with programmers and related computer scientists to develop software that operates in the cloud. Popular languages for Cloud Development include Python, Java, PHP, and JavaScript, as well as knowledge and experience with database technologies.
