Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. CVS Health is building a more connected and compassionate health care experience through technology and innovation. The Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer will lead enterprise GCP platform engineering, set technical direction, and ensure secure, scalable, compliant cloud infrastructure. The role combines hands-on coding and design with team leadership, Infrastructure as Code, automation, networking, security, observability, and platform strategy.
Responsibilities
- Own the enterprise GCP platform end-to-end: organization structure, resource hierarchy, networking architecture while collaborating with several teams to ensure the platform is stable and compliant
- Define and maintain the GCP landing zone — Shared VPC, Org Policies, and project factory patterns — as the foundation all product teams build on
- Serve as the one of the final technical authorities on GCP engineering decisions, reviewing designs for scalability, security, and operational excellence before they reach production
- Build self-service platform capabilities that enable product engineering teams to move fast without compromising standards
- Lead the GCP cloud engineering team as the technical anchor — set direction, conduct design reviews, unblock engineers, and drive delivery on platform initiatives
- Establish and enforce engineering standards: IaC patterns, naming conventions, tagging strategy, branching models, and deployment practices
- Mentor engineers at all levels, building depth on the team and raising the bar on what “excellence” looks like in cloud engineering
- Partner with architecture, security, operations, and business stakeholders to translate enterprise requirements into platform capabilities
- Drive Infrastructure as code as a core principle — reusable modules, pipeline integration, state management, and policy guardrails
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, and Artifact Registry for both platform infrastructure and application teams
- Write production-quality automation to extend platform functionality, integrate GCP APIs, and eliminate operational toil
- Implement policy-as-code using OPA, Config Connector, and GCP Org Policies to enforce governance at scale without manual gatekeeping
- Architect/Engineer GCP networking: Shared VPC, VPC Service Controls, Private Service Connect, NCC, Cloud NAT, and hybrid connectivity via Cloud Interconnect and HA VPN
- Own the enterprise security posture on GCP — Workload Identity Federation, Binary Authorization, Secret Manager, IAM least-privilege design, and SIEM/CSPM integration (Security Command Center, Prisma Cloud, or Wiz)
- Drive continuous automated compliance across applicable regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2) so controls are enforced in real time, not discovered at audit
- Integrate observability — Cloud Operations Suite, Datadog, and SLO/SLI frameworks — as a first-class platform capability across all workloads
- Own the GCP platform roadmap, evaluating new GCP services and capabilities and making deliberate decisions about what the enterprise adopts and when
- Incorporate FinOps practices across the platform: committed use discounts, rightsizing, budget alerting, and cost allocation as engineering disciplines, not afterthoughts
- Research and pilot emerging GCP capabilities like — Vertex AI, GKE Enterprise, Duet AI for DevOps — evaluating their fit for enterprise adoption
- Foster a culture that drive collaboration across teams and towers to shape the future of cutting-edge cloud technology adoption
Skills
- 10+ years in cloud and infrastructure engineering with 5+ years of deep, hands-on GCP experience at enterprise scale
- Proven ownership of a GCP organization — Resource Hierarchy, Billing, Org Policy, IAM, and multi-project governance in production
- Demonstrated technical leadership: you have led a platform team or major enterprise cloud initiative, set technical direction, and grown engineers around you
- Compute & Containers: GKE (Autopilot + Standard), Cloud Run, Compute Engine, MIGs
- Networking: Shared VPC, VPC Service Controls, Private Service Connect, Cloud Armor, Interconnect
- Data & Messaging: BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Cloud Composer
- Security: IAM, Workload Identity, SCC, Binary Authorization, Secret Manager, VPC-SC
- IaC & Automation: Terraform (modules, remote state, OPA), Cloud Build, Config Connector
- Observability: Cloud Operations Suite, Datadog, SLO/SLI design, PagerDuty integration
- Languages: Python and Go (required); Bash proficiency expected
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience
- Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect certification (strongly preferred)
- Google Cloud Professional DevOps Engineer certification
- HashiCorp Terraform Associate or Professional certification
- Experience in regulated industries applying HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or FedRAMP controls on GCP
- Familiarity with Anthos, GKE Enterprise, and multi-cloud connectivity patterns
- Experience with Vertex AI platform and MLOps patterns on GCP
