  • If you think it could be amazing to join a growing team that always asks “how can we do this bit differently and even better”, no matter your background, we want to talk to you. All you need to understand is the opportunity of cloud computing and the fact that A Cloud Guru is the best training provider of a small handful in the cloud computing space.
  • We explain machine learning using angry ferrets, firewalls using wooden trains and we try new approaches to almost every aspect of what we do. We do this until we find the absolute best way to teach a topic, without boring our students to death. We know what it means to never have heard, let alone worked, with cloud computing.
  • The people are the #1 reason employees stay at ACG. We’re a smart, quirky, tight-knit team that cares deeply about our customers. No egos here - our leaders encourage thoughtfulness, compassion, being humble and having fun.
  • A Cloud Guru is now a Pluralsight company!
