More is in you

Looking to jumpstart your career or jump ship to a new vibrant growing industry?  You could:

  • Be paid to learn

At Cloud Direct we want to build a community of people who think differently. To grow our business and thrive we need to be different. Not just in the way we do business, but in the people we hire.

Technology is always changing, so to stay at the top of our game we are always learning and improving our knowledge. We believe that success depends on great minds not thinking alike.

Whether you have a degree or are looking to get into a tech career, what really matters to us is that you have a desire to learn and progress.

We’re looking to support the most curious individuals grow their skills and take the next step towards their dream career.
