Cloud Solutions Engineer

Cloud Solutions Engineer

Location: Cleveland, Ohio

Work Arrangement: Hybrid - 1 day per week required in office

Lakefront Data Solutions is looking for a Cloud Solutions Engineer to help our clients turn complex business and technical challenges into practical, scalable solutions.

This is a client-facing engineering role that combines technical implementation with problem-solving, consulting, and communication. You'll work closely with clients and internal teams to understand business needs, design solutions, and deliver high-quality cloud and data solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver cloud, data, and integration solutions for clients
• Translate business requirements into practical technical solutions
• Work directly with clients to understand challenges and communicate technical concepts clearly
• Develop, troubleshoot, and maintain data pipelines, integrations, and cloud solutions
• Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and client stakeholders
• Take ownership of technical delivery and follow projects through to completion
• Identify opportunities to improve solutions and create additional value for clients
• Continue developing technical, consulting, and client-facing skills

Qualifications

• Strong technical fundamentals and a willingness to learn
• Basic experience with Python and SQL
• Familiarity with modern data and cloud platforms such as Salesforce, dbt, Databricks, Snowflake, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Ability to work through ambiguous problems and develop practical solutions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Comfortable working directly with clients and collaborating across teams
• Strong sense of ownership and ability to follow problems through to resolution
• Interest in consulting and building long-term client relationships

Growth Opportunity

This role is designed to grow with you. You'll initially support smaller, clearly defined engagements with guidance from a Project Manager and experienced engineers. As your skills develop, you'll have the opportunity to progress from:

Supported Delivery → Independent Delivery → Client Relationship Ownership → Account Growth Leadership

Our goal is to develop engineers who can independently own technical delivery, build trusted client relationships, and eventually help lead the technical direction of client accounts.

If you're looking for an opportunity to grow beyond implementation and develop into a trusted Cloud Solutions Engineer and consultant, we'd love to hear from you.
