Cloud Engineer

Cardinal Health, a global leader in healthcare innovation, is seeking a Cloud Engineer to help drive the evolution of their enterprise-scale cloud and CI/CD platforms. The role involves designing, deploying, and supporting containerized and serverless platforms on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) while ensuring platform reliability, compliance, and developer experience.

Responsibilities:

• Design, deploy, and manage Kubernetes clusters and workloads on GKE using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices
• Operate and support the enterprise Harness CI/CD platform, including build, deploy, and infrastructure pipelines, ensuring availability, reliability, and consistent developer experience across teams
• Develop and maintain standardized Harness pipeline templates for build, test, security scanning, and deployment to Kubernetes and serverless runtimes
• Partner with application teams to onboard services to Harness, providing guidance, troubleshooting, and best‑practice enablement
• Integrate CI/CD pipelines with Infrastructure as Code tooling (e.g., Terraform) and GitOps solutions (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux) to support repeatable and auditable deployments
• Embed security and compliance controls into CI/CD workflows, including vulnerability scanning, policy enforcement, secrets management, and audit logging to meet HIPAA, SOX, and enterprise security requirements
• Collaborate with DevSecOps and Application Security teams to shift security left within the SDLC, leveraging tools such as Trivy, Aqua, or equivalent scanners integrated into Harness pipelines
• Monitor platform health, pipeline execution, and application performance using tools such as Dynatrace, Prometheus, and cloud‑native monitoring; perform root cause analysis and drive incident resolution
• Participate in code and pipeline reviews, establish platform standards, and ensure adherence to engineering best practices
• Enforce platform governance and guardrails using policy‑as‑code approaches (e.g., OPA), ensuring consistency, observability, and compliance across all environments
• Act as a technical liaison between the Serverless Platforms Team and partner organizations, translating business and delivery needs into scalable platform capabilities
• Communicate platform changes, incident status, and best practices through clear runbooks, release notes, and stakeholder updates; facilitate working sessions to drive alignment and unblock delivery
• Stay current with cloud‑native and CI/CD trends, contributing to the ongoing evolution of Cardinal Health’s cloud and DevOps strategy

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years of experience in cloud engineering with a strong focus on Kubernetes and GCP
• Hands‑on experience designing, operating, or supporting CI/CD platforms, preferably Harness CI/CD in an enterprise environment
• Strong understanding of microservices, event‑driven architectures, and distributed systems
• Experience with GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, and automated delivery pipelines
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, security scanning, and compliance requirements in regulated environments
• Exceptional communication skills—able to translate complex platform and security concepts for both technical and non‑technical audiences, and to influence outcomes through clear documentation and stakeholder alignment
• Proven problem‑solving skills and the ability to operate effectively in complex, evolving environments
