Position summary
Cloud Ops and Shared Cloud Engineering form Cloud Services that has an exciting and challenging mission: Build, deploy, operate, scale and maintain a company-wide platform (PaaS) for Adobe SaaS solutions. While Shared Cloud Engineering focuses on building the Shared Cloud platform, Cloud Ops provides operational support for both the platform as well as the product teams that leverage the platform. In addition, our portfolio of clients extends beyond the platform to standalone products that will eventually migrate to the Shared Cloud platform. We are a trusted partner to our clients based on proven track record to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for specific services we charge our clients – Application Management, Service Support, and Cloud Hosting. We have two additional services that round out Cloud Ops – Architecture and Service Management. This role will report into the Senior Manager of Application Management based in the U.S. As a member of Application Management, your primary responsibility will be to partner with the Shared Cloud Engineering team based in Hamburg. With this responsibility, you will become the advocate for Shared Cloud Engineering within Cloud Ops.
