Cloud engineering and architecture jobs in Bengaluru

Cloud engineers and architects design, build and run systems on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. In Bengaluru the work splits between product companies running their own platforms and consulting and services firms that migrate and manage cloud estates for clients around the world.

Cloud roles reward breadth: networking, identity, storage, databases, security and cost all meet in the same design. Architect roles add customer conversations and written designs to the hands-on work.

What the work involves

• Design cloud architectures for new systems and migrations, balancing cost, security and resilience.
• Build networks, identity and access policies and landing zones, defined as code.
• Move workloads from data centres to the cloud, or between clouds, with minimal downtime.
• Review bills, right-size resources and set up guardrails so teams stay within budget.

Skills employers look for

• AWS, Azure or GCP in depth
• Cloud networking (VPCs, peering, load balancers, DNS)
• Identity and access management
• Terraform, CloudFormation or Bicep
• Containers and serverless
• Cost optimisation
• Security and compliance basics

How interviews usually run

Expect scenario questions: design a three-tier web application that survives a zone failure, secure an S3 bucket, connect an on-premises network to the cloud, or cut a monthly bill by a third. Interviewers probe trade-offs between managed services and running things yourself.

Hands-on roles add a practical round in Terraform or scripting. Architect roles often ask you to present a past design and defend it.

How to stand out

• Certifications matter more in cloud than in most areas, especially at services firms: an associate-level certificate is a common bar, and a professional one sets you apart.
• Bring numbers from real migrations or cost reviews.
• Know when not to use a service, not just how to configure it.
