POSITION SUMMARY

CVS Health is hiring a Staff Cloud Automation Engineer to help define, build, and scale the next generation of enterprise cloud platforms that power infrastructure delivery across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and private cloud environments. As a Staff Cloud Automation Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical leader responsible for advancing the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) capabilities that enable thousands of engineers to securely provision, deploy, govern, and operate infrastructure at enterprise scale.

The Staff Cloud Automation Engineer will help drive a modern cloud platform ecosystem focused on automation, developer productivity, governance, security, reliability, and operational excellence. Key platform capabilities include AI-powered developer experiences running on Kubernetes, policy-driven governance powered by Open Policy Agent (OPA), GitOps-based deployment and configuration management utilizing ArgoCD, Helm, and Ansible, Terraform-based provisioning and reconciliation services, Temporal-based workflow orchestration, Artifactory and ORAS publishing platforms, and enterprise observability solutions built on OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and Mimir.

As a Staff Cloud Automation Engineer, you will design and develop cloud-native software, automation frameworks, platform services, APIs, and shared engineering capabilities using technologies such as TypeScript, Go, Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, Azure AI Foundry, GitHub Actions, Ansible, ServiceNow, and modern cloud services. You will partner closely with cloud architects, platform engineers, security teams, software developers, and technology leaders to accelerate cloud adoption, improve developer experiences, strengthen governance, and enhance platform reliability across CVS Health.

The Staff Cloud Automation Engineer will provide technical leadership for strategic platform investments and may ultimately own one or more critical platform domains, including AI-powered engineering solutions, developer platforms, Terraform reconciliation services, governance and policy systems, workflow orchestration services, observability platforms, publishing ecosystems, and shared infrastructure automation capabilities. You will influence platform architecture, establish engineering standards, mentor engineers, and help shape the long-term roadmap for enterprise cloud platform modernization.

The ideal Staff Cloud Automation Engineer combines deep expertise in cloud platforms, software engineering, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, automation, and distributed systems with a passion for developer enablement, cloud governance, platform reliability, and AI-powered engineering innovation. Successful candidates are motivated by building secure, scalable, resilient, and reusable platforms that empower engineering teams across CVS Health.
