À propos

Join Bayer, where we are visionaries dedicated to addressing the world's toughest challenges, envisioning a future where 'Health for all, Hunger for none' becomes a reality. With energy, curiosity, and a commitment to diverse perspectives, we redefine the concept of 'impossible'. Take this opportunity to build a fulfilling career alongside talented individuals who are passionate about making a meaningful impact. Lead Cloud Solutions Engineer As part of Bayer Crop Science's innovative digital farming division, you will contribute to the advancement of regenerative agriculture through state-of-the-art technology supported by extensive data science and real-world farming knowledge. With pioneering tools such as Climate FieldView and our ForGround regenerative agriculture platform, you will be instrumental in driving forward-looking advancements in agriculture. If you are an entrepreneurial thinker who thrives on turning internal customers into enthusiastic advocates, this role is for you. As a Lead Cloud Solutions Engineer within Bayer Digital Farming, you will take charge of our shared AWS platform, empowering numerous engineers to deliver secure, reliable software rapidly. You will treat our platform as a product, curating streamlined solutions, advocating for DevSecOps practices, and focusing on improving developer experience, cost efficiency, and reliability. We manage one of the largest and most diverse agronomic data portfolios globally. Your mission will be to enhance the productivity of our engineering teams by simplifying the transition from concept to production using existing tools and best practices while fostering an ownership mentality. YOUR TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES Enablement & Support (Primary Focus)
Be a hands-on Subject Matter Expert (SME) for our internal toolchain, such as Terraform modules, AWS Service Catalog, GitLab CI, Datadog/CloudWatch, and Backstage/IDP. Conduct office hours, create templates, produce clear documentation, and collaborate with teams to accelerate tool adoption. Triage and address platform requests, establish SLAs/SLOs, and clarify ownership boundaries.
Own Paved Roads & Golden Paths
Maintain opinionated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and deployment blueprints, concentrating on multi-account setups, networking, security, and observability. Standardize security-first practices (VPC, IAM, KMS, secrets management, logging, ALB/API Gateway, S3/Lambda/ECS/EKS) with policy-as-code guardrails.
Drive DevSecOps Outcomes
Integrate security controls into CI/CD processes, including linting, SAST/DAST, SBOMs, and IaC checks. Work closely with Security, Compliance, and Data teams to maintain automated, audit-ready controls.
Measure, Learn, Iterate (Ownership Mindset)
Evaluate and report on developer experience KPIs, such as lead time/DORA metrics, onboarding duration, time-to-first-deploy, and CI success rate. Conduct lightweight experimentation (A/B documents, template modifications) and implement improvements with a product-focused mindset.
Reliability & Cost Stewardship
Create straightforward observability for platform components to minimize Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) with effective runbooks. Implement FinOps practices: right-sizing, establishing cost guardrails/budgets/alerts, and guiding teams toward optimal spending.
Collaboration & Mentorship
Act as a trusted advisor to application delivery units, Security, and Data teams, translating requirements into paved road enhancements. Mentor engineers and foster a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

Solid understanding of cloud architecture, networking principles, and security fundamentals. Preferred: Experience in productizing platform features for internal stakeholders (templates, modules, Service Catalog, IDP/Backstage). Familiarity with CI/CD practices at scale (GitLab pipelines, artifact registries, automated testing, progressive delivery). Competence in observability and logging tools (CloudWatch, Datadog, ELK/OpenSearch) along with practical knowledge of SLOs/SLIs and on-call best practices. Experience with container platforms (ECS/EKS) and common data services (RDS/Aurora, S3/Lake patterns, MSK/Kinesis). Knowledge of policy-as-code (OPA/Conftest, Terraform Cloud/Enterprise policies) and supply-chain security (SBOM, image signing). Experience in FinOps (budgets, tagging, cost allocation/chargeback, rightsizing). Relevant AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer) and exceptional communication skills.
