Cloud Engineers

Cloud engineers advance be earning pay raises and receiving promotions to managerial positions. At some employers, the position of cloud architect—who designs and implements cloud computing systems and plans the cloud strategy for his or her company or client—may be considered a promotion. But at other employers, engineers also perform these tasks, so the position of cloud architect may not exist. Highly skilled and experienced engineers can be promoted to the position of director of cloud computing or director of cloud architecture. Some engineers choose to launch their own consulting firms, while others become college educators.
