Job Description:
We're building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. 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. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time. Position Summary We're hiring a Principal Architect to take ownership of how we do observability and hybrid cloud at CVS Health. This person will sit within our Enterprise Architecture organization and be responsible for the architecture, standards, and technical direction behind our observability platforms and our multi-cloud infrastructure posture. We run workloads across on-prem private cloud (OpenShift, KVM, Dell PowerFlex), Azure, AWS, and GCP. We need someone who can build and maintain the reference architectures, telemetry standards, and instrumentation patterns that let our engineering teams monitor all of that consistently. We've committed to an OpenTelemetry-first approach and use the Grafana stack (Mimir, Loki, Tempo) as our primary backends, but we also operate Datadog, Splunk, and Dynatrace in various parts of the org. On the cloud side, there is real work to do around workload identity, runtime selection, autoscaling guidance, and FinOps. Teams are asking for concrete standards they can follow. This is a hands-on role. You'll write architecture docs, build proof-of-concepts, configure OTel pipelines, and present to leadership. *This position can work remotely from anywhere in the continental USA.
