The Role
Arlo is standing up a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) to drive engineering efficiency and
ease of adoption across our 400+ person engineering organization. You will own the CCoE
program and a Systems Engineering team responsible for cloud standards, shared tooling, and
common libraries - making it easier for every team to build and ship reliably.What You'll Do
Cloud Center of Excellence
• Define and evolve cloud engineering standards, architectural patterns, and operational
baselines
• Drive FinOps practices: cost monitoring, rightsizing, reserved capacity planning, and
budget forecasting
• Build and maintain a best-practices knowledge base: design patterns, IaC standards,
common cloud service libraries, and observability playbooks
• Evaluate emerging tools and technologies (AI infrastructure, edge compute, etc.) and
translate findings into adoption roadmaps
• Run office hours, workshops, and documentation programs to upskill engineers on
cloud-native design - lowering the barrier to doing things the right way
• Partner with the SRE organization on post-mortem learnings; translate findings into
updated standards and training
Systems Engineering
• Manage and grow a team of DevOps and Systems Engineers; own hiring, performance,
and career development
• Own the development, versioning, and lifecycle of common libraries shared across cloud
services
• Deliver shared platform tooling and internal developer platform capabilities; partner with
the Engineering Tools team on CI/CD integration
• Drive adoption of the Arlo Cloud Platform - cell-based, AZ-bounded architecture and
semver'd operational baselines - through enablement, not mandates
• Collaborate with Security and Compliance to embed governance into platform delivery
Organizational Influence
• Serve as the senior technical voice on cloud standards; build trusted relationships with
engineering leads across all teams
• Represent the team to executive stakeholders; influence investment decisions with data-
driven insights
What You Bring
Required
• 8+ years of software or cloud/platform engineering experience, with 3+ years in
engineering management
• Deep expertise in AWS (EKS, DynamoDB, RDS, IAM, Cost Explorer) and IaC tooling
(Terraform, CDK, or equivalent)
• Experience designing and maintaining shared libraries or platform SDKs consumed by
multiple teams
• Demonstrated ability to define and enforce engineering standards across a large, multi-
team organization
• FinOps mindset: experience managing and optimizing cloud costs at scale
• Strong communicator - able to translate technical topics for both engineers and
executives
Nice to Have
• Experience building an internal developer platform (IDP) or cell-based / multi-region
architecture
• Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure (Databricks, SageMaker, Bedrock)
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer) or FinOps Foundation
(FOCP)
• Background in consumer IoT, connected devices, or real-time streaming platforms
What Success Looks Like
• 90 days: Cloud standards and library gaps audited; CCoE roadmap published; working
relationships established with engineering leads, SRE, and Engineering Tools teams
• 6 months: Standards and updated libraries adopted across 3+ teams; FinOps savings
realized; training program underway
• 12 months: CCoE is the go-to for cloud decisions at Arlo; common libraries are
versioned and org-wide; platform tooling measurably reduces time-to-production
Why Arlo
• Own the cloud engineering culture across a 400+ person org with global impact
• Work on a platform processing billions of events per day for millions of customers
• Competitive compensation, equity, and a genuine commitment to your growth
