About the role

  • At CVS Health®, you'll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do.
  • Establish clear ownership, accountability, and performance expectations across all functional teams; foster a culture of operational excellence, engineering rigor, and continuous improvement.
  • Direct bare-metal Kubernetes and OpenShift operations, including cluster administration, GPU quota governance, infrastructure-as-code adoption, and availability baseline enforcement.

Responsibilities

  • Recruit, hire, develop, and retain a high-performing engineering organization spanning infrastructure, network, platform reliability, observability, security, 24/7 operations, change and release management, and FinOps.
  • Infrastructure and Platform Engineering: Own the physical layer of the AI compute environment - GPU compute, storage, network fabric, capacity planning, and hardware lifecycle accountability.
  • Direct Innovation POD strategy to develop self-healing and autonomous capabilities that proactively prevent service degradation before it impacts availability.
  • Drive end-to-end observability across the physical and platform layers, with continuous feedback loops connecting monitoring data to incident response, change decisions, and improvement cycles.
  • Lead GPU FinOps governance - utilization optimization, tenant quota enforcement, and cost reduction - in partnership with the Finance organization.
  • Security and Compliance: Empower the Security SRE Lead to maintain a world-class security posture across the infrastructure and platform layers, with robust compliance to frameworks including HIPAA and NIST AI RMF.
  • Program Transition and Operating Model: Lead the operational transition from program-launch staffing to permanent CVS-owned operations - governing phased handoffs, competency validation, and milestone sign-offs to ensure minimal disruption to platform availability and business operations.
  • Establish and lead the long-term operating model by institutionalizing key technical, architectural, and delivery leadership capabilities into permanent CVS roles, ensuring the organization is fully self-sustaining at program close.
  • Vendor and Stakeholder Management: Own vendor relationships, contract performance, and accountability across the hardware, networking, platform, and managed-services stack.
  • Manage budget ownership for the AI infrastructure and platform engineering organization, including capital planning and operational expense governance.

Requirements

  • The successful candidate will demonstrate technical depth, executive presence, and a proven record of operating physical infrastructure at data center scale.
  • Managed cloud services (EKS, GKE, AKS) alone do not substitute for the practitioner expertise this role requires.
  • Proven success establishing and enforcing operational baselines, SLO / SLI / error-budget frameworks, and observability-driven continuous improvement in physical-infrastructure-anchored environments.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with Cisco UCS, NVIDIA HGX / DGX / Blackwell systems, and VAST or comparable distributed NVMe storage.
  • Direct experience operating GPU clusters of 32 or more GPUs in production environments - including HPC, AI training, research computing, or comparable workloads.
  • NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NVIDIA Run:AI, NVIDIA Base Command Manager, or comparable GPU orchestration platform experience.
  • Chaos engineering and AI-driven operations experience - predictive alerting and automated remediation patterns.
  • Background in innovation programs, POD structures, or centers of excellence.

Skills

  • Govern access controls, audit logging, vulnerability management, and network segmentation across the AI compute environment.
