The Cloud Infrastructure Engineer will join ACPWB's Security & Compliance team to drive data engineering and pipeline development improvements to the employee data warehouse. Working in Power Shell and Azure Active Directory, you will partner with data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to build solutions that have measurable impact on firm performance.

ACPWB's analytical practice runs on data, and the Cloud Infrastructure Engineer in our Security & Compliance team is responsible for ensuring that data infrastructure is sound. The work spans data engineering and pipeline development for a team of 6 engineers who treat reliability, security, and developer experience as first-class concerns. If systems going down at inopportune moments bothers you personally, you will fit in here.

We believe organizations that understand their own compensation — what they pay, why they pay it, how it compares to the market, and whether it is fair — perform better and retain better talent. We have data supporting this. We also follow this principle ourselves, which is how we arrived at a compensation structure that allows us to write this sentence without discomfort.

ACPWB was founded in Milwaukee in 2006 with a simple mandate: help working Americans understand and advocate for the compensation they deserve. Eighteen years later, that mandate has grown into a full-service research and advisory practice serving clients from early-stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises — and we are still based in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee is genuinely underrated.

We conduct structured first-round interviews via video, followed by an on-site second round for finalists. The on-site includes a team lunch, a case discussion, and time with the relevant practice lead. We do not charge for parking. We do not expect you to bring a printed copy of your resume. We have read it.
