• Implement security controls (e.g., Pod Security Admission, Secrets Management with GCP Secret Manager) and ensure adherence to HIPAA, SOX, and other regulations.
• Collaborate with DevSecOps/Application Security teams to infuse security into the SDLC, utilizing tools like Aquasec or Trivy for container image scanning.
• Monitor cluster health and application performance using Dynatrace, Prometheus, and GCP Cloud Monitoring/Logging, conducting root cause analysis for incidents.
• Participate in code reviews, establish coding standards, and ensure adherence to software development best practices within the team.
• Enforce platform governance using tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA), embedding observability and compliance into all solutions.
• Act as a technical liaison between the serverless platforms team and other organizations, translating business needs into actionable technical solutions.
• Stay informed about cloud-native technologies and trends, actively contributing to Cardinal Health's cloud strategy.
