Staff DevOps Engineer

About the role

The Staff DevOps Engineer provides senior-level technical leadership for cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, DevSecOps practices, and software delivery systems supporting regulated medical device platforms. This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining secure, scalable, and resilient cloud environments while supporting embedded Linux platforms, connected medical devices, cloud-native services, and healthcare interoperability solutions.

Responsibilities

• Implement scalable, secure, and resilient cloud infrastructure solutions utilizing Amazon Web Services (AWS) in alignment with regulatory standards including IEC 62304, ISO 13485, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
• Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) architectures to automate environment provisioning; experience with Pulumi is highly preferred, alongside general proficiency in industry-standard tools.
• Champion DevSecOps practices by integrating automated security compliance, vulnerability scanning, code analysis, and certificate management tools directly into the build and deployment lifecycles.
• Build, optimize, and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or Azure DevOps supporting embedded Linux builds, firmware compilation, web applications, and API service deployments.
• Collaborate with connectivity and software teams to ensure robust deployment topologies for device management platforms, middleware, LIS/HIS interfaces, and cloud-native APIs operating in networked hospital environments.
• Implement automated data integrity safeguards, error handling monitoring, log aggregation, and real-time observability frameworks including monitoring, alerting, and tracing across staging and production environments.
• Ensure strict compliance, documentation, and end-to-end traceability of configuration changes, environment baselines, and release evidence using ALM and issue-tracking tools such as Jira and Jama.
• Provide technical guidance, mentorship, peer reviews, and DevOps best-practice leadership to cross-functional engineering teams without primary people-management responsibility.
• Communicate infrastructure risks, deployment blockers, security vulnerabilities, and release readiness trends clearly to engineering leadership and stakeholders.

Experience Requirements

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Software Engineering, including hands-on experience building and managing cloud environments for regulated medical devices, healthcare, diagnostics, or similarly controlled environments.
• Familiarity with medical device software compliance standards including IEC 62304, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and IVDR as they relate to software release lifecycle, risk management, and design controls.
• Mastery of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem including EC2, EKS/ECS, IAM, VPC, RDS, Route53, and cloud security frameworks.
• Proven expertise implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC); hands-on working knowledge of Pulumi is highly preferred, with strong familiarity with Terraform and CloudFormation.
• Deep technical understanding of DevOps principles, including containerization using Docker and Kubernetes, configuration management with Ansible, and Linux system administration, particularly embedded Linux platforms and firmware integration.
• Experience configuring and maintaining enterprise CI/CD systems, log analysis pipelines including ELK and Splunk, and automated test evidence generation in regulated development workflows.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical leadership skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Physical Requirements And Working Conditions

• Ability to work for prolonged periods at a laptop or desktop computer.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 15 pounds.
• Ability to wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as necessary.
