How to stand out as a cloud engineer
Technology never stands still. Always in a state of perpetual motion and constantly evolving, few industries are as dynamic and exciting as tech. One of the biggest evolutions in recent years has been the emergence of the cloud, particularly the burgeoning field of cloud engineering.As businesses worldwide undergo a digital transformation boom, they constantly strive to enhance their scalability, security and efficiency. As such, companies across all sectors are rapidly pivoting from their legacy, on-site hardware to more dynamic and scalable cloud-based solutions. However, this rapid cloud transformation has caused a significant demand for skilled cloud engineers who can turn an onsite-reliant business into a cloud-native enterprise.But, what is a cloud engineer? Whether you are just beginning your tech journey or are looking to enhance your skill set even further, this article will teach you all you need to know about the profession and how to stand out as a cloud engineer. We’ll take you through the steps of becoming a cloud engineer, salary expectations and where to find cloud engineer jobs. Read on to learn more.What is a cloud engineer?A cloud engineer is an IT professional overseeing the infrastructure of cloud-based platforms. Cloud engineers are essential for developing scalable, secure and efficient cloud infrastructures, utilising AWS,Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud platforms. These roles typically encompass a variety of disciplines, including cloud architect, cloud software engineer and systems engineer.The primary responsibilities of a cloud engineer often involve designing, planning, managing and maintaining cloud systems. Depending on the organisation’s needs, a cloud engineer may also be required to deploy apps in cloud environments, manage cloud infrastructure and ensure data security across networks. As such, the role often necessitates a versatile skill set that could encompass system architecture, software development and database management disciplines.Why are cloud engineers important?Our research shows that 77% of IT organisations in the UK report difficulty finding the talent they need. While IT and most tech roles are in demand, cloud engineer jobs, in particular, are especially sought-after due to the rapid acceleration of the move to the cloud following COVID-19. As illustrated in the Flexia 2021 State of the Cloud Report, 90% of respondents said that their cloud usage was higher than initially planned following the effects of the pandemic.The ongoing shift to the cloud has made cloud engineers key players in IT departments, especially as businesses seek to innovate and maintain competitive advantages in digital spaces. Cloud engineers enable companies to leverage cloud technologies that enhance operational efficiencies, help to reduce IT costs and increase system scalability and reliability.How to become a cloud engineerTransitioning into a cloud engineering role often requires a blend of formal education and hands-on experience.Educational pathwaysMost cloud engineers start with a degree in IT, computer science or related fields. This academic background provides the theoretical knowledge necessary to understand complex computing systems. Relevant subjects that often prove essential include network security, computer architecture and database management.Essential skills and certificationsPractical skills in programming languages such as Python, Java and SQL are crucial to becoming a cloud engineer.Along with familiarity, obtaining vendor-specific certifications such as the AWS Certified Solutions Architect,Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate or Google Associate Cloud Engineer can enhance your credibility and showcase your expertise to potential employers. The mainstream cloud providers all offer significant learning portals where you can access the tools to attain their certifications.Acquiring practical experienceLastly, while skills and certifications are a must, we also value experience at Experis. As such, we advise those applying for cloud engineering jobs to gain hands-on experience through internships and working on real-world projects.For students, we advise contributing to open-source cloud projects or, if you’re already working in IT, take the reins and implement cloud solutions in your current IT role.

This sector moves at a brisk pace, with new advancements and methodologies emerging regularly. To keep up, it’s important to engage actively with the latest industry trends, technologies and best practices. This can be achieved through various means, such as attending workshops, participating in webinars and visiting conferences.By staying updated, you not only enhance your own skill set but also ensure that you remain adaptable and equipped to handle the ever-changing demands of the market. These efforts will not only help you excel in your current role but also pave the way for further advancements in your career.Cloud engineer salary insightsCloud engineer salary expectations vary depending on the applicant’s location, experience and specialisations.

Uncharted territories – how to bridge the skills gap to meet the challenges of emerging technologies
From Artificial Intelligence to Large Language Modelling, powerful new technologies have the potential to completely transform the business world – but only if businesses have a workforce with the skills to utilise these tools.What are the main concerns of UK businesses as they race to benefit from new technologies?Lack of expertise – 60%The workforce lacks the skills required to fully embrace emerging technologiesIntegration with existing systems – 40%New technologies may be impossible to integrate or even be harmful to existing systems.Data privacy, security and ethical concerns – 20%Potential lawsuits, intellectual property disputes, systemic security risks and the lack of guidance over ethical usages may be roadblocks to large-scale new technology adoption.Across the globe, businesses are facing an era of unprecedented change, moving into uncharted territories as new and unexpected technologies arrive with increasing speed. What was science fiction yesterday is suddenly commonplace today. However, even though these changes create endless opportunities and possibilities, the pace of advancement is bumping up against a hurdle; a skills gap between the enormous capabilities of these new technologies and the expertise that’s available within organisations to harness their benefits. In short, new technologies can only be as effective as the abilities of the people who use them. When skills lag, technologies fail.What does this mean for businesses? Bridging the skills gap is crucial for organisations if they wish to remain competitive. Business leaders must understand the potential impact of new technologies on their organisation, then develop effective strategies to future-proof their workforce.Myths and realities – the true shape of things to comeIt’s difficult to train your workforce to meet a challenge when you don’t know much about it, or the information you’ve been given is inaccurate. Amid the frantic assumptions that surround many new technologies, myths often blend with reality to create false perspectives. Common misconceptions include:TimingAn unending series of technology upgrades and launches can support the idea that everything is happening at light speed. However, the rate of change in technology is typically far slower than the rate of adoption. The media may give the impression that large-scale adoption and resulting change will occur very quickly, but in reality, this takes time, and it is never uniform. Some industries will adopt an important technology very quickly. Others will lag far behind. This means some businesses may have more time to upskill their workforce than they think they do.Technology will create unexpected, all-powerful competitors at short noticeMany businesses worry they are going to be immediately outflanked by a new competitor wielding a game-changing new technology. However, in practice, it is very difficult for startups to upset a well-established incumbent, at least in the short term. This is because business success is not based purely on technology or the adoption of a technology; more often it’s based on the depth of an organisation’s skills and the longevity of the valuable partnerships they’ve built over time. Strong skill sets can offset or blunt threats from even the best emerging technologies.Technology will put millions of people out of workProbably the most common misconception of all. Technology is often portrayed as a destroyer of jobs. In fact, it is likely that new technologies will create more jobs than they destroy. Technologies will augment, not replace humans in the workplace, making us more productive and eliminating many of the repetitive elements of work.Bridging the skills gapAccording to the World Economic Forum, 44% of the world’s current workforce must upskill or reskill their abilities to manage new technologies. What steps must organisations take to address the skills gap and ensure their workforce is prepared for the demands of the future economy?Training for all, not the fewFull engagement is essential for training programmes to succeed. This means demanding that all employees, including senior management, undergo regular upskilling training. Making the growth of their skills a job responsibility for all workers presents the task as a normal business expectation, reducing the potential for resistance and lower uptake.Bite-size learning can be more digestible and effective than immersive techniquesHumans have an attention span of less than nine seconds. The longer we concentrate on a task, the less effective we become. Training materials and programmes that deliver short, focused learning can have more impact than training sessions or content that run for hours and hours. Keep the lessons short. Make the results clear and decisive. More frequent but shorter training sessions will work better than all-day classes held weeks or months apart.Stress the personal importance of upskilling programmesWe take greater interest in developments that will impact us personally than we do if the changes only affect a third-party. Businesses must ensure their employees understand the personal value of upskilling to manage new technologies. What will they get out of it? Employees should know that better skills reduce their risk of obsolescence and can create more opportunities for their career advancement.Recognise workforce diversityTraining programmes must reflect the diversity of your workforce. Be aware that some of your employees will process reskilling and upskilling programmes differently, especially if they are neurodivergent. Flexibility must be factored into the programme structure and the environment or methods of delivery. Ensuring all your employees have the same opportunity to grow their technical skills is essential.With greater power comes greater responsibilityLastly, business leaders must consider the risks and ethical responsibilities that come with the adoption of the new and powerful technologies. Training employees to work with these new tools to increase productivity and efficiency is not enough. Workers must also be made aware of the potential pitfalls – practices that if managed poorly could lead to lawsuits or regulatory pressures – especially in sensitive areas such as cyber security and personal data management.Catch our webinar on-demand to learn more about bridging the skills gap to meet the challenges of emerging technologies.
