The cloud engineering team is broken down into 4 subcomponents. Security, Data Governance, Landing Zones, Automation. They like to pass off the resources across all 4 teams. That is why they need both infrastructure and application knowledge. The team is a heavy application team because typically infrastructure is easier to pick up, huge emphasis on coding and best practices(they like a java background).
Needs:
Java Developer (probably not less than 8 years’ experience)
Any Cloud experience, developing on it, not just working with it, (GCP, AWS, GCP).
Infrastructure knowledge (IaC) tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure ARM, Google Deployment Manager, Ansible etc. They don’t need experience with all of them, one is enough. And these are just the most popular ones.
Bachelor's degree
