About this role

The Cloud Governance Engineer role at Five9 focuses on defining and enforcing cloud governance policies across a multi-cloud environment, primarily using Google Cloud Platform. You will be responsible for creating standards, managing exceptions, and collaborating with various teams to ensure compliance and security. The position emphasizes governance rather than infrastructure building, requiring strong communication skills to explain technical risks to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

Worth weighing

  • The role is focused on governance, not building or operating infrastructure, which may not appeal to all candidates.

  • The position requires strong communication skills to translate technical risks for non-technical stakeholders, which may be challenging for some.
  • No salary information is provided in the posting.
