AWS Certified Enterprise Software Engineer

Have you grown tired of the average office environment? Do you want to clearly see the difference you’re making in the world through your work? Do you want to have not just the responsibility but ownership of your projects; so that you can take pride in your undertakings?

If you’d like to work in an environment that balances learning opportunities with teaching and support, Cloud Computing Technologies is just the place for you. We believe in empowering individuals to take the helm and manage their own projects while being given all the support they need from the organization. As a part of the Cloud Computing Tech family, you’ll not only find many opportunities to grow, but guidance to go along with them every step of the way. Before we get into the specifics of the opportunity, a little bit about us

About the Company

Cloud Computing Technologies has been designing, deploying, maintaining, and improving cloud-based solutions for clients around the globe for the past two decades. We’ve worked on multiple scales, from SMEs to government contracts, and we’ve implemented a variety of solutions for a variety of purposes. We have constantly looked to revamp and reevaluate our tool-set at every step of the way, with a proactive approach to the future being a core tenet of our corporate identity.

Our team has always been our greatest asset, and we are proud to have an abundance of talented professionals powering us forward. With offices in Arizona, Massachusetts, California, Colorado, Washington D.C., our people are spread out across five states but work with great cohesion and purpose to maintain a collaborative effort. Coming into work is optional, so there’s always the option to work from home, yet you’ll never find the office empty.

That has a lot to do with the culture and the environment we like to maintain around the office. Think less grey walls, strict rules, and a dress code, and more along the lines of a creative workspace designed to make working as easy as it could be. We’re not about cubicles or 9-to-5 grinds; we’re about ownership and initiative. The ability to work independently is a must, as is an ability to communicate effectively.

Once you get used to it, the end result is a person who knows exactly what they need to do when they walk in to work. And if they’re ever at a loss, someone else steps in to lend a hand. You work independently, but never in isolation. Every day brings its own challenges, and its own rewards, and by opening yourself up to a variety of tasks, you get to develop your skillsets in a unique way to our environment.
