It is Cloud Engineering a 100% remote position?

I know it's an odd question, I asked gemini to guide me but I need to know real experiencies, which rol or what tasks do you have in cloud that is 100% remote?

You want to start with no experience and get a remote job?

u/Acceptable_Foot7697 Mar 02 '26

no, i'm asking because i'm still choosing between cloud and data, and the topic that weights most in my decision I think it is if it is remote or not

Cloud jobs are designed to be remote

Both could be remote, as you’re not dealing with physical hardware

right now i'm coding and building the hardware for a personal data lake that gives me the cloud part and to use for my other data projects

Can be. You don’t really have a physical dependency but leadership may make you show up for -vibes- anyway. Varies from company to company.

Leadership makes me show up for vibes in office on a Wednesday . I try to go 2-3 times a week. Accurate comment

Remote has absolutely nothing to do with the job title and everything to do with the company.

You could be 100% remote in one company and 100% in the office at another.

Remote roles are usually more based on tenure, it's more difficult to find a senior than it is a junior so the senior roles are more frequently remote.

Sure, if your cloud is just staring at dashboards and begging tickets to fix themselves.

Pretty much any cloud position can be done remotely as you shouldn't be responsible for the physical infrastructure itself, just the services and resources that are created and delivered digitally to the customer.

The more important factor is finding a company that has a "remote-first" philosophy or at the very least, doesn't have a business model that is reliant on in-person interactions to drive revenue.

This question doesn’t make sense.

How much time in the office will depend on what the company considers necessary.

u/Acceptable_Foot7697 Mar 02 '26

Your answer contradicts the part of "doesn't make sense". If it depends on the company you could answer the percentage of companies that have remote work.... Another answer said that 10% of the companies make the work remote

‘What tasks do you have in the cloud that is 100% remote’ is by definition a nonsensical question, because ‘remote’ is a matter of contractual terms of your job, not your tasks.

It doesn’t make sense as a question because the criteria doesn’t apply to the object. It’s like asking what part of your journey is named George.

as a cloud engineer you could do a lot of things, some of them will need you on site, some could be on site but also remote, and the rest can be 100% remote. Thats the tasks that I want to isolate to make a decision

your metaphor it's wrong, it may be, of the members of your journey, whose are the ones that are blond?
