Cloud Engineer

Job Summary

As a Cloud Engineer, your primary responsibility will be to design, deploy, and support containerized and serverless platforms on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and to operate and evolve the enterprise Harness CI/CD platform. You will enable application teams to build, test, and deploy software through standardized, secure, and scalable pipelines 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.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience preferred.
• 3+ years of experience in cloud engineering with a strong focus on Kubernetes and GCP (preferred).
• Hands-on experience designing, operating, or supporting CI/CD platforms, preferably Harness CI/CD in an enterprise environment preferred.
• Strong understanding of microservices, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems preferred.
• Experience with GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, and automated delivery pipelines preferred.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, security scanning, and compliance requirements in regulated environments preferred.
• 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 preferred.
• Proven problem-solving skills and the ability to operate effectively in complex, evolving environments preferred.
