Cloud Engineer

Cardinal Health, a global leader in healthcare innovation, is seeking a Cloud Engineer to help drive the evolution of our enterprise‑scale cloud and CI/CD platforms. Operating in a multi‑cloud, multi‑tenant environment, our platforms support thousands of developers across hundreds of teams, powering mission‑critical workloads across IaaS, PaaS, and CaaS models.

As part of the Serverless Platforms Team, you will help design, build, operate, and continuously improve our cloud‑native and CI/CD platforms-including Kubernetes, serverless runtimes, and the enterprise Harness CI/CD ecosystem. You will work closely with application teams, security partners, and platform stakeholders to deliver secure, scalable, and repeatable deployment patterns using Git Ops, infrastructure as code, and modern Dev Sec Ops  practices.

With a strong foundation in cloud‑native development and platform engineering, you will help ensure our platforms are reliable, governed, and easy to consume-while fostering a culture of technical excellence, automation, and continuous improvement. If you are passionate about Kubernetes, CI/CD platforms, and solving complex platform‑scale challenges, join us to help shape the future of healthcare technology.

** 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 Git Ops 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 Git Ops 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 Dev Sec Ops  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 Dev Ops 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…
