Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. StoneAge Holdings is a global leader in designing and manufacturing high-pressure waterblast tooling and automated, IoT-enabled and robotic equipment. The Software Cloud Engineering Team Lead will own the technical direction and engineering capability for scalable cloud platforms, applications, data pipelines, and connected systems while leading engineers, architecture, reliability, and delivery practices.
Responsibilities
- Set technical direction across cloud infrastructure, backend services, applications, networking, data, security, observability, and edge integration. Design for hundreds or thousands of connected systems—not only today’s deployment
- Establish practical standards for architecture, code quality, testing, documentation, traceability, code review, CI/CD, release readiness, and technical debt. Use discipline to improve speed and predictability
- Set clear expectations, give useful feedback, create ownership, and develop engineers who can reason beyond their immediate specialty. Use Agile and the SDLC to create alignment—not administrative ceremony
- Design for real operating conditions, including intermittent networks, disconnected devices, changing bandwidth, unexpected sensor behavior, and complex hardware/software interactions
- Guide secure, efficient movement and storage of operational and telemetry data. Select distributed-processing, relational, NoSQL, and AI-oriented technologies according to the problem being solved
- Create clarity during incidents, protect customers and operations, establish facts, drive root-cause resolution, and ensure failures strengthen both the system and the team
- Make availability, latency, throughput, database performance, deployment stability, escaped defects, security risk, and delivery predictability visible—and act when they move in the wrong direction
- Make difficult architectural tradeoffs and explain technical risk in language that product, engineering, and business partners can use
- Know when to go deep technically and when to empower an engineer to own the solution
- Balance speed to market with long-term reliability, security, maintainability, and data integrity
- Build accountability and learning without blame, unnecessary bureaucracy, or dependence on heroic effort
- Own the outcome—not merely the pull request, sprint, meeting, or line of code
Skills
- Demonstrated technical leadership across cloud platforms, distributed systems, full-stack applications, or closely related software environments
- Experience leading engineers through architecture decisions, delivery commitments, production incidents, and continuous improvement
- Strong understanding of secure cloud architecture, software delivery practices, data integrity, observability, and operational reliability
- Ability to decompose complex problems into understandable, testable components and make decisions without perfect information
- Direct, constructive communication and the ability to align technical and nontechnical stakeholders around risk, priorities, and outcomes
- A record of building ownership, raising standards, and helping teams deliver increasingly difficult work predictably
- Industrial automation, connected equipment, edge computing, IoT, embedded systems, or other field-deployed technology
- C++ or Dart, vector databases, AI-oriented architectures, or large-scale telemetry platforms
- Leading across frontend, backend, cloud/platform, and embedded or hardware-adjacent teams
Benefits
- Profit-sharing
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), in which shares of company stock are allocated to eligible employees each year
- A highly engaged, collaborative workplace where everyone matters and every employee makes a significant impact
