MiniMed is seeking a Principal Cloud Engineer to design, build, and operate core cloud capabilities with a primary focus on AWS. The role supports Azure and GCP within a multi-cloud strategy, delivering standardized platform components and automation-first solutions that scale reliably across teams.

You will implement IaC with Terraform, maintain CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions, and collaborate with SRE/Operations to improve resilience and security across cloud environments.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in cloud engineering, Cloud Engineering, or DevOps roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS; exposure to Azure and/or GCP strongly preferred.
• Proven proficiency with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform.
• Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tooling.
• Solid understanding of core cloud services including IAM, networking, compute, storage, and monitoring.
• Experience with container platforms and orchestration (e.g., ECS, EKS, AKS, or GKE).
• Ability to work effectively in an Agile environment and collaborate across engineering, security, and operations teams.

Responsibilities

• Design, engineer, and operate foundational cloud services primarily on AWS, with support for Azure and GCP as part of a multi-cloud strategy.
• Build and maintain standardized platform components including account provisioning, identity and access integration, networking foundations, and shared services.
• Translate architectural standards and guardrails into reusable, production-grade platform implementations.
• Develop and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to ensure repeatable, auditable, and version-controlled deployments.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to support platform automation and safe change delivery.
• Reduce manual effort and operational toil through automation and self-service patterns.
• Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting standards for platform services using native cloud tooling and approved third-party observability platforms.
• Partner with SRE and Operations teams to improve reliability, resilience, and recovery of platform components.
• Participate in incident response and post-incident reviews for platform-related services, driving corrective and preventative improvements.
• Partner with Architecture, Security, and Governance teams to enforce identity, access, tagging, and compliance guardrails across cloud environments.
• Ensure platform services are secure-by-default, auditable, and aligned with regulatory and enterprise standards.
• Contribute to platform blueprints, reference architectures, and technical documentation; publish guidance and patterns.
