We are not just a tech company; we are a people-first company. We believe that by unlocking the power of people and technology, we can accelerate transformation and achieve extraordinary results. As a Fortune 500 Solutions Integrator with deep expertise in cloud, data, AI, cybersecurity, and intelligent edge, we guide organizations through complex digital decisions. About the role We are looking for a Staff Cloud Engineer with deep expertise in cloud migration programs and API management to join our professional services practice. In this role, you will own delivery outcomes across complex, multi-workstream engagements — coordinating engineers, advising customer stakeholders on technical strategy, and serving as the authoritative voice on migration architecture and API platform design. Success looks like this: customer programs that deliver on time and on scope, engineers who are unblocked and accountable, and customers who trust your judgment enough to bring you their next challenge before the current one is finished. You will get to: Own delivery outcomes across multiple parallel workstreams simultaneously, including large-scale cloud migration programs and API management engagements; accountable for overall team output quality across L2–L4 engineers. Lead complex estate transformations : coordinate multi-layer migration programs spanning application, data, network, and security teams across coordinated waves with hard decommission deadlines. Architect and govern API platforms : design multi-region Apigee X deployments, Global API Mesh governance structures, and large-scale legacy gateway migrations (MuleSoft, Kong, Akana, AWS API Gateway) from proxy inventory through northbound cutover. Validate all workstream estimates before they are presented to customers; own the accuracy of the overall delivery timeline and escalate scope risks before they become delivery failures. Act as a trusted technical advisor to customer architects, program managers, and senior stakeholders on migration strategy, API platform governance, and cross-domain trade-offs. Gather requirements directly from customer stakeholders and translate them into scoped, deliverable technical programs — without requiring a project manager to mediate the conversation. Identify and own escalations within engagements; resolve technical blockers and delivery risks before they surface as customer issues. Proactively identify expansion opportunities beyond the current statement of work — post-migration modernization, API monetization, governance maturity programs, or platform engineering follow-ons — and shape those conversations with customer stakeholders. Challenge misaligned decisions : push back on unrealistic timelines, over-scoped commitments, or technically misguided PM proposals with data and reasoned alternatives. Mentor and coordinate L2–L4 engineers across delivery programs; conduct technical reviews, validate architecture decisions, and hold the team accountable for quality and pace. Contribute to practice IP : produce reusable assessment frameworks, migration wave templates, Apigee proxy accelerators, and API Ops pipeline templates that reduce delivery time on future engagements. Be AmbITious: This opportunity is not just about what you do today but also about where you can go tomorrow. When you bring your hunger, heart, and harmony to Insight, your potential will be met with continuous opportunities to upskill, earn promotions, and elevate your career. What were looking for: Experience 8+ years of hands-on cloud engineering experience, with at least 4 years in a professional services, consulting, or delivery-led environment. Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end cloud migration programs at enterprise scale — multi-wave, multi-team datacenter exit or estate transformation programs involving 500+ workloads. Demonstrated experience designing and governing Apigee X or Apigee Hybrid deployments in production enterprise environments, including legacy gateway migration programs. Cloud Migrations (Depth — Advanced) Assess customer estates holistically and assign the correct migration pattern — rehost, replatform, refactor, rebuild, retire, or replace — based on application complexity, business criticality, technical debt, and cost of change; no single pattern dominates. Lead Complex Estate Transformations end-to-end: multi-layer coordination across application, data, network, and security workstreams; custom tooling development where standard products are insufficient.
