About This Role
The Multi Cloud Engineer leads the design, implementation, and support of secure, scalable infrastructure across Kidde Global Solutions’ (KGS) AWS and Azure cloud environments and on-premises data centers built on HPE and VMware, supporting critical enterprise applications and global operations. Operating at both the architecture and execution levels, the role delivers highly available, resilient, and cost-effective hybrid platforms and leads the resolution of complex cloud, data center, networking, security, and performance issues.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Cloud Engineering and partnering closely with application, security, infrastructure, and network teams, the Multi Cloud Engineer is a highly self-driven, hands-on engineer who takes complex cloud initiatives from concept through production. The role applies an engineering mindset (Infrastructure-as-Code, automation, and a “fix for good” approach) while thriving amid changing priorities, deadlines, and a highly variable workload.

Design, implement, and support highly available, secure, and scalable cloud platforms and services for business-critical enterprise applications.
Design and maintain cloud networking, including VPCs/VNets, subnets, routing, peering, transit gateways, VPN, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute, load balancing, and DNS, in partnership with the Network team.
Build and manage compute, storage, database, and platform services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Storage, Azure SQL) to meet performance, availability, and cost requirements.
Establish landing zones, account and subscription structures, and tagging standards to support consistent, well-governed multi-cloud growth.
Support workload migrations and application modernization from on-premises VMware and legacy platforms to AWS and Azure, and maintain hybrid connectivity between KGS data centers and the cloud.
Produce cloud architecture and design documentation, runbooks, work instructions, and root cause analysis reports.
Hybrid Cloud & Data Center Operations
Support on-premises and data center infrastructure, including HPE servers, storage, and hardware and VMware vSphere, ESXi, and vCenter virtualization platforms, covering provisioning, patching, firmware updates, and lifecycle management.
Drive monitoring, alerting, and observability across cloud and on-premises environments (e.g., Amazon CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, VMware vCenter, HPE iLO/OneView) to proactively detect, diagnose, and resolve issues.
Design, test, and maintain backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions for cloud and data center workloads, and perform capacity planning, performance tuning, and cost optimization across both.
Cloud Security & Governance
Implement and maintain cloud security controls, including identity and access management, encryption and key management, network segmentation, and security baselines across AWS and Azure.
Partner with the Security team and Managed Security Services Provider to monitor and respond to cloud security events and remediate vulnerabilities and audit findings.
Support governance, compliance, and policy enforcement (e.g., AWS Organizations and SCPs, Azure Policy) and contribute to incident response and disaster recovery plans.
Service & Support
Troubleshoot and resolve complex cloud, networking, security, and performance issues as a senior escalation point, within published SLA/OLA response times.
Provide hands-on production support, including participation in an on-call rotation for critical cloud services.
Apply ITIL Incident, Problem, Change, and Configuration Management practices, recording and tracking all actions in the ITSM tool through final resolution.
Partner with application, security, and infrastructure teams to deliver business-critical projects and operational…
