About the Team The Cloud Build, Provisioning & Automation team builds and runs the cloud platform infrastructure behind Apex's core business. We handle cloud platform builds across AWS, GCP, and Azure, manage cloud costs, enable migrations between on-prem and cloud environments, and drive infrastructure automation. Our goal is simple: keep Apex's cloud fast, reliable, and cost-efficient. The Role You'll own the product roadmap for cloud infrastructure — from migrations and provisioning automation to cost optimization and AI-driven platform improvements across AWS, GCP, and Azure. You'll work side-by-side with engineers and stakeholders, turning business needs into clear priorities and shipping results. You'll also be the team's voice across the organization, making sure our impact is visible and well understood. This role is hands-on. You'll dig into technical problems, evaluate build vs. buy decisions, and use AI to drive strategic value across the platform. Over time, you'll grow into a technical product leader and become the face of the team.
