A cloud specialist designs, manages, and optimizes cloud infrastructure – from basic services to subscription administration to the architecture of complex solutions and cloud-native platforms. The demand for cloud specialists has been growing over the long term as companies move infrastructure from on-premise to Azure, AWS, or hybrid environments. Salaries range from roughly from 60,000-85,000 CZK for junior positions to 130,000-180,000 CZK and above for senior cloud architects specializing in solution design. The key to progressing is gradually building knowledge from cloud fundamentals through administration to architecture design and cloud-native platforms.
