Job summary

Butterfly Network, Inc. is seeking an experienced Director to lead Quality Engineering and DevOps. You will define the test automation strategy, own the CI/CD pipelines, and drive reliability for a regulated medical device software environment.

You will manage a distributed team, partner with product, regulatory, and security teams, and align releases with HIPAA, FDA, and SOC 2 requirements while delivering fast, compliant software. Based in New York City with a hybrid work model.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, QA, DevOps, or platform engineering, with at least 3 to 5 years in an engineering management or senior technical leadership role.
• Proven experience leading both QA and DevOps/platform functions — distributed teams across time zones.
• Deep expertise in CI/CD pipeline design and implementation, release automation, and developer experience tooling.
• Strong background in test strategy and automation — unit, integration, end-to-end, and performance testing.
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), containerization (Docker, ECS, EKS), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, or equivalent).
• Experience working in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, FDA, or similar).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable operating at the director level and presenting to senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• Lead, grow, and inspire a high‑performing team of QA and DevOps engineers spanning onshore and offshore — building a culture of ownership, craft, and continuous improvement.
• Define and execute the strategy for quality engineering across the organization — automated testing frameworks, test coverage standards, regression pipelines, and quality metrics.
• Own the DevOps and platform engineering roadmap — CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code, deployment automation, cloud cost optimization, and developer tooling.
• Partner with engineering leadership to establish release management processes that support high‑velocity delivery while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements (HIPAA, FDA, SOC 2).
• Drive observability and site reliability engineering (SRE) practices — on‑call processes, incident response, runbooks, SLAs/SLOs, and post‑mortems. Recruit, retain, and develop top QA and DevOps talent; build a team that other engineers love working with.
• Establish clear quality gates across the SDLC — from PR review through production — reducing defect escape rates and improving release confidence.
• Champion a security‑first mindset, ensuring infrastructure and release processes meet security and compliance standards.
• Serve as a cross‑functional partner to product engineering, regulatory, IT, and security teams to align on standards and unblock delivery.
