You will own the CCoEprogram and a Systems Engineering team responsible for cloud standards, shared tooling, andcommon libraries — making it easier for every team to build and ship reliably.

What You’ll Do

Cloud Center of Excellence

Define and evolve cloud engineering standards, architectural patterns, and operationalbaselines

Drive FinOps practices: cost monitoring, rightsizing, reserved capacity planning, andbudget forecasting

Build and maintain a best-practices knowledge base: design patterns, IaC standards,common cloud service libraries, and observability playbooks

Evaluate emerging tools and technologies (AI infrastructure, edge compute, etc.) andtranslate findings into adoption roadmaps

Run office hours, workshops, and documentation programs to upskill engineers oncloud-native design — lowering the barrier to doing things the right way

Partner with the SRE organization on post-mortem learnings; translate findings intoupdated standards and training

Systems Engineering

Manage and grow a team of DevOps and Systems Engineers; own hiring, performance,and career development

Own the development, versioning, and lifecycle of common libraries shared across cloudservices

Deliver shared platform tooling and internal developer platform capabilities; partner withthe Engineering Tools team on CI/CD integration

Drive adoption of the Arlo Cloud Platform — cell-based, AZ-bounded architecture andsemver’d operational baselines — through enablement, not mandates

Collaborate with Security and Compliance to embed governance into platform delivery

Organizational Influence

Serve as the senior technical voice on cloud standards; build trusted relationships withengineering leads across all teams

Represent the team to executive stakeholders; influence investment decisions with data-driven insights

What You Bring

AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer) or FinOps Foundation(FOCP)

Background in consumer IoT, connected devices, or real-time streaming platformsWhat Success Looks Like

90 days: Cloud standards and library gaps audited; CCoE roadmap published; workingrelationships established with engineering leads, SRE, and Engineering Tools teams

6 months: Standards and updated libraries adopted across 3+ teams; FinOps savingsrealized; training program underway

12 months: CCoE is the go-to for cloud decisions at Arlo; common libraries areversioned and org-wide; platform tooling measurably reduces time-to-production

Why Arlo

Own the cloud engineering culture across a 400+ person org with global impact

Work on a platform processing billions of events per day for millions of customers
