Job summary

MiniMed is seeking a Principal Cloud Engineer to design, build, and operate core cloud foundations with a focus on AWS, while supporting Azure and GCP. You’ll develop automated, scalable platform services, establish IaC practices with Terraform, and drive reliable, secure deployments across multi-cloud environments.

Collaborate with Architecture, Security, and Operations, advance observability, and enable platform self-service through standardized components and pipelines.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in 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.
• Support policy‑as‑code and guardrail automation where applicable.
• Contribute to platform blueprints, reference architectures, and technical documentation.
• Publish clear guidance and patterns that enable application teams to consume platform services consistently.
• Share knowledge and best practices across the engineering organization.

About the Role

The Cloud Engineer designs, builds, and operates core cloud platform capabilities with a primary focus on AWS, while supporting Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) where required. This role is responsible for delivering standardized, automated, and reusable cloud foundations-such as account provisioning, identity integration, networking baselines, and deployment pipelines-that enable application teams to move quickly without compromising security, governance, or reliability.

The Cloud Engineer works closely with Cloud Engineering, Architecture, Security, and Operations to translate architectural standards into durable platform services. The emphasis is on automation-first delivery, infrastructure-as-code, and building platforms that scale through consistency rather than manual effort.
