Most New York employers expect a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field, combined with certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Microsoft Azure Administrator, or Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect. Many candidates also build experience through internships at New York-area financial institutions, media companies, or healthcare technology firms before moving into full-time roles.
How much do cloud infrastructure engineers make in New York?
Cloud infrastructure engineers in New York earn a median of about $116,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,740 for the lowest 10% to over $203,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
