Role IntroductionReports to: Cloud & Platforms Senior Lead
Drive the design, delivery and continuous improvement of cloud and infrastructure platforms that power Cathay’s digital services. Your technical judgement and hands‑on knowledge of public cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Alibaba Cloud will shape solutions that meet complex business needs while staying compliant, cost-effective and reliable.
