It's a kind of developer and operations role that focuses on cloud technologies, typically the big three (AWS/GCP/Azure).
Why? Do you care or are you just making fun of the job title? If someone wrote "as a Windows Engineer" would you have scoffed?
- tmotwu 6y agoSome software engineers don't know how job roles are named everywhere else. They think it's all just Software Engineer I or II, whatever that's supposed to represent or what their job entails. Meanwhile, EEs split their roles: Verification Engineers, Hardware Engineers, Power Engineers, QA Engineers. It's straight, well defined and provides a structure. The fact that people mock this is why software quality is looked down upon.

I don't know if my intuitive use is more specific than actual practice. After all this also makes sense for, say, a chemical engineer, but would exclude certain perfectly reasonable terms like "mechanical engineer" or "electrical engineer", and "cloud engineer" is sort of like that too. Of course I know that the GP post was snobbery. Mine is merely a kind of unclear thinking, that perhaps will be improved by reading this thread.
