A career at Janus Henderson is more than a job, it’s about investing in a brighter future together.
Our Mission at Janus Henderson is to help clients define and achieve superior financial outcomes through differentiated insights, disciplined investments, and world-class service. We will do this by protecting and growing our core business, amplifying our strengths and diversifying where we have the right.
Our Values are key to driving our success, and are at the heart of everything we do:
Clients Come First - Always | Execution Supersedes Intention | Together We Win | Diversity Improves Results | Truth Builds Trust
If our mission, values, and purpose align with your own, we would love to hear from you!
Your Opportunity
This global leadership role reports to the Chief Technology Officer and is a member of the Technology Leadership Team. In this role you will lead two pivotal areas: overseeing shared technology services that power the business and building platforms that enable AI, data and business-embedded technology teams deliver modern tools faster.
You will be responsible for the reliability and performance of the firm's infrastructure, cloud platforms, end-user technology, and operational services.
Beyond operating critical technology services, you will help transform infrastructure into a modern platform capability by delivering scalable, self-service cloud, data, and AI foundations that accelerate innovation across the firm. You will also play a key role in growing our Budapest technology hub as a center of excellence for platform engineering, infrastructure, and operations.
- Build the platform that others build on. Turn cloud, data and AI foundations into self-service, paved-path platforms — so AI, data and business-embedded tech teams can create modern tools faster and more safely, without reinventing infrastructure each time.
- Own the AI & data platform run-state. Engineer and operate the services behind our Medallion architecture (Snowflake, Azure, DBT) so analytics and AI use-cases scale across the firm.
- Treat internal teams as customers. Set a product mindset for the platform — roadmap, adoption, developer experience and measurable acceleration of the firm's builders.
- Run reliable, secure operations. Own availability, resilience, incident response and the service experience for the firm's shared technology — network/telephony, client technology, production support, service management and core services.
- Modernize and automate. Drive the shift from manual operations to automation and AI-assisted tooling, raising quality while managing cost.
- Lead and develop the leadership team. Direct the Heads of Unified Communications, Client Technology, Production Support, Service Management, Core Services, and Strategy / Architecture / Platform Engineering as a high-performing, globally distributed organization.
- Grow the Budapest hub. Scale platform, infrastructure and operations capability in Budapest as an insourced center of excellence, with clear career paths and strong retention.
- Manage cost and risk. Own the budget, vendor relationships, and the security and control posture of both the platform and the run.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
Make sure your job title maps to your degree
USCIS evaluates specialty occupation based on degree-role alignment. A computer science, information systems, or electrical engineering degree best supports a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer petition. Unrelated degrees raise RFE risk even with strong experience.
Target employers with an active cloud footprint
Companies running AWS, Azure, or GCP at scale are far more likely to sponsor because the role is deeply technical and hard to fill locally. Consulting firms, SaaS companies, and financial institutions are consistent sponsors for this title.
Document your hands-on technical scope clearly
USCIS scrutinizes whether the role genuinely requires a specialized degree. Offer letters and support letters should specify infrastructure architecture responsibilities, not just operational tasks. Generalized IT support framing weakens the specialty occupation argument significantly.
Certifications strengthen but do not replace degree requirements
AWS, Azure, and GCP certifications signal technical depth to employers and can bolster a petition, but they are not substitutes for a qualifying degree. If your degree field is adjacent, pair certifications with a strong experience narrative.
Understand the difference between cap-subject and cap-exempt employers
Universities, nonprofits, and government research organizations are H-1B cap-exempt, meaning they can file year-round without lottery risk. For cloud roles, research labs and university IT departments are realistic cap-exempt options worth targeting.
Start the sponsorship conversation early in the hiring process
Many employers who sponsor do not advertise it explicitly. Raising sponsorship after an offer wastes time for both sides. Ask during recruiter screening whether the company has an active immigration program and prior H-1B filing history.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS consistently approves cloud infrastructure roles when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related engineering field. The key is ensuring the job description reflects architecture and design responsibilities rather than generic IT operations, which can blur the specialty occupation line.
What degree field do I need to qualify for H-1B sponsorship as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer?
Computer science, information systems, computer engineering, and electrical engineering are the strongest fits. Software engineering and applied mathematics degrees have also been accepted when the role involves significant systems design. Degrees in business IT or general management information systems carry more RFE risk and may require a stronger employer support letter explaining the degree-to-role connection.
How competitive is H-1B lottery selection for cloud infrastructure roles?
Selection odds are the same across all H-1B visa cap-subject petitions regardless of role. In FY2025, USCIS received approximately 442,000 registrations for 85,000 available slots. Cloud infrastructure engineers with a U.S. master's degree enter the advanced degree pool first, which improves selection odds marginally. Cap-exempt employers eliminate lottery risk entirely and are worth pursuing in parallel.
Are there visa options for Cloud Infrastructure Engineers outside the H-1B lottery?
Yes. Australian citizens can apply for the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and a 10,500 annual cap that has never been exhausted. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify under the TN visa for computer systems analyst roles, though the title match requires careful framing. The O-1A is another path for engineers with demonstrable recognition, published work, or high-impact projects at scale.
Where can I find Cloud Infrastructure Engineer jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically to surface roles that offer visa sponsorship, so you can filter by sponsorship type rather than guessing from generic job listings. Cloud infrastructure roles on Migrate Mate span enterprise tech, financial services, and cloud-native startups, with sponsorship status verified rather than inferred from vague job description language.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Cloud Infrastructure Engineer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
