Cloud Operations Engineer – Production Operations

This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of cloud operations, supporting modern AWS-based platforms, containerised workloads and infrastructure-as-code practices that help thousands of customers rely on Sage solutions every day.

You'll be part of a collaborative global team that works across multiple products and technologies rather than being confined to a single platform. If you're passionate about cloud engineering, automation and building resilient systems at scale, we'd love to hear from you.

*** Please note: This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in our Atlanta office ***

Why join this team?

This team supports a portfolio of cloud-hosted products that play an important role in Sage's growing cloud ecosystem. Rather than focusing on a single application, you'll collaborate across multiple products, teams and technologies, giving you broad exposure to modern cloud engineering challenges and opportunities.

You'll join a supportive global team of experienced cloud engineers who collaborate closely across multiple regions. The team places a strong emphasis on knowledge sharing, automation and sustainable operational practices, allowing engineers to focus on solving meaningful technical challenges rather than constant firefighting.

As Sage continues to invest in AI-powered experiences, platform modernisation and cloud innovation, you'll have the opportunity to help shape how new products and services are operated at scale.
