Cloud Engineering

Automate software development and manage scalable cloud environments, from scratch or by improving current solutions at different clients

Cloud Engineers are first and foremost engineers. Since you dislike administering systems, you apply software engineering principles and techniques instead. You’re responsible for software to orchestrate large-scale cloud environments that are elastic and self-healing and to facilitate security, incident management, and recovery.

Step into the future of cloud computing and learn to leverage its unique capabilities. Learn how to build cloud-native software in a secure and compliant way using the DevOps way of working.

The Kick off

This track kicks off with two full-time weeks of hands-on bootcamp training. This intensive training focuses on designing, developing, and maintaining secure and scalable cloud-native applications & infrastructure, version control, continuous integration, and infrastructure-as-code. You will gain hands-on experience with serverless and container-hosted applications. Our Engineer Lead chooses the best training approach for the topic, depending on your needs.

Beyond Bootcamp

After these 2 kick off weeks, you spend a full year working on-site four days a week at one of our clients and returning one day a week to our Xccelerated office in Amsterdam. During these “return” days, you split your time between theory and practice—gaining project guidance and coaching from our supervising consultants to support you in the partner company’s projects, while also diving deeper into cloud topics. At the end of your first year, you get the opportunity to join the client directly.

Program topics include

AWS/GCP/Azure Fundamentals
Software engineering
Infrastructure as Code
Container Orchestration
Cloud infrastructure
CI/CD pipelines
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

Soft skills

In conjunction with our technical programs, Xccelerated also provides soft-skills development through interactive training-days and practice. It features an integrated personal development component on effective communication as a Data & AI professional.

The training courses are focused on personal leadership and will give you insight into your preferred communication styles and personal development goals. In addition, we are working on effective communication, giving feedback and feedforward, stakeholder management, presenting and conflict management.

The Xccelerated personal development program is divided into seven training topics. Each subject consists of one interactive training day in which everyone practices their skills.

The skills I learned at Xccelerated are incredibly valuable—I use them everyday at work. After the bootcamp, I had the feeling that I wanted to rewrite all my previous projects.

Nikki Doorhof - data scientist, Xccelerated/Nationale Nederlanden

Xccelerated decreases the gap between software engineering and data science. Thanks to this, I’m solving real data engineering challenges.

Selin Gungor - data engineer, Xccelerated/ING

I’m impressed by the guidance I get from the many experts I’m surrounded with at Xccelerated. It helps me become an expert myself as well at Heineken.

Sometimes you’ll write software alongside your product development colleagues. At other times, you’ll build the systems those developers need, such as load balancers and backups, preferably in a way that makes it easy to share them with other systems. Every so often, you'll apply existing solutions to new problems and be responsible for the infrastructure of the cloud
