Senior Staff Platform Engineer - Cloud Ops | Veeam

As a Senior Staff Platform Engineer, you will lead the design, evolution, and operation of Veeam's global cloud infrastructure, with primary expertise centered on Microsoft Azure. In this high-impact technical leadership role, you will architect secure, scalable, and maintainable systems powering enterprise-grade SaaS platforms. You will shape the core foundations of Veeam's modern data protection platform—defining future-state multi-cloud architectures, subscription hierarchies, disaster recovery (DR) strategies meeting enterprise RTO/RPO targets, and internal developer platforms (IDP) that accelerate engineering productivity.

• Infrastructure-as-Code Evolution: Design, build, and evolve multi-tenant cloud infrastructure using modern IaC tooling (Terraform, Pulumi).
• Core Azure & AWS Architecture: Architect and manage core cloud platform services, including virtual networks (VNETs/VPCs), Azure AD/IAM identity controls, account/subscription hierarchies, and automated policy guardrails.
• Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: Define and execute robust cloud disaster recovery strategies engineered to satisfy strict enterprise RTO and RPO objectives.
• High Availability & Cost Efficiency: Enforce architectural standards for security, high availability, fault tolerance, performance, and cloud expenditure optimization across Azure and AWS environments.

Developer Experience & Technical Leadership

• Internal Platform & Automation: Build internal tooling, service automation, and self-service provisioning workflows to streamline developer onboarding and resource management across product teams.
• Cross-Functional Architecture: Represent the Platform organization in architectural review boards, strategic planning sessions, and security/compliance alignment meetings.
• Mentorship & Technical Direction: Serve as a senior technical leader and mentor to engineers across Platform, SRE, and product engineering organizations.
