Our Mission at Janus Henderson is to help clients define and achieve superior financial outcomes through differentiated insights, disciplined investments, and world-class service.

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 Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
Confirm the role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Cloud infrastructure engineering requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field. Roles framed as general IT support or systems administration may not meet USCIS specialty occupation standards, even if the work overlaps.
Target employers with an H-1B filing history
Large cloud-heavy employers, including hyperscalers, financial institutions, and enterprise SaaS companies, file H-1B petitions regularly. Prioritizing employers with documented sponsorship history significantly reduces the risk of an offer falling apart at the visa stage.
Get your job description to reflect the degree requirement
USCIS scrutinizes whether the position genuinely requires a specific bachelor's degree. Make sure your offer letter and job description explicitly state that a degree in computer science, information systems, or equivalent is required, not merely preferred.
Understand how cloud certifications factor into your application
AWS, Azure, and GCP certifications strengthen your profile but do not substitute for a qualifying degree. If your degree is in an unrelated field, a combination of education and years of directly relevant experience may still support a successful H-1B petition.
Account for premium processing in your start date planning
Standard H-1B adjudication can take several months. Premium processing guarantees a response within 15 business days and is worth requesting if your start date is firm or your current status has a hard expiration.
Prepare documentation of your technical scope upfront
For cloud infrastructure roles, USCIS may issue RFEs questioning whether the position requires a degree versus general IT experience. Having architecture diagrams, project scopes, and evidence of specialized responsibilities ready strengthens your employer's response significantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer roles qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes. Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer is consistently approved as a specialty occupation under the H-1B visa because the role requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a closely related field. USCIS has approved this job title across thousands of petitions. Roles that bundle infrastructure work with general helpdesk or non-specialized IT duties can attract RFEs, so job description specificity matters.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor me in this role?
Most H-1B petitions for this role cite a bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, information technology, or information systems as the qualifying credential. Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees. If your degree is in a different field, relevant coursework combined with documented work experience may still support a petition, though the case requires stronger supporting evidence.
Are there visa options other than H-1B for cloud infrastructure engineers?
Yes. Australian citizens can pursue the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and allows two-year renewable periods. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under TN visa status if the role fits a covered USMCA occupation. Engineers with a strong publication record, open-source contributions, or industry recognition may also be competitive for the O-1A, which has no cap or lottery and can be filed at any time of year.
How hard is it to find employers willing to sponsor this role?
Sponsorship willingness is higher for Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineers than for most other roles because demand consistently outpaces the available domestic talent pool. Hyperscalers, enterprise software companies, financial services firms, and managed service providers are the most active sponsors. Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, so you can focus only on employers who have already committed to sponsoring this role.
Can I use work experience instead of a degree to qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
In limited cases, yes. USCIS allows three years of specialized work experience to substitute for one year of education, meaning a two-year degree plus six years of directly relevant cloud infrastructure experience could potentially satisfy the requirement. However, experience-substitution cases face higher scrutiny, and the experience must be specific to the specialty, not general IT work. An immigration attorney should evaluate your profile before your employer commits to filing.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior 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.
