Job description

A well-known medical device manufacturer is looking for a full-time Senior DevOps Engineer to join their embedded software development team. This is a direct hire opportunity with a company whose technology directly impacts patient outcomes, giving the work a level of purpose that is hard to find elsewhere. The environment is fast-moving and technically demanding, built around modern DevOps tooling and a culture that takes quality and compliance seriously.

This is not a role where you maintain what someone else built -- you will be the one making architectural decisions, leading pipeline migrations, and mentoring the engineers around you. If you thrive when given real ownership, enjoy working across teams, and get satisfaction from untangling complex technical problems, this position has a lot to offer. The company invests in its engineers and the scope of the work continues to grow.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field -- equivalent professional experience is also considered
• Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD pipeline design, implementation, and optimization
• Proficiency with GitLab and Jenkins for pipeline and workflow management
• Solid programming skills in C, Python, and Bash
• Experience with DevOps tooling spanning infrastructure management, project tracking, logging, and compliance security scanning
• Familiarity with Jira and JAMA for project and requirements management
• Strong Linux, QNX, or Unix-like operating system experience
• Proven ability to architect and implement software systems and deployment workflows at scale
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a project-driven environment
• Experience in a regulated or compliance-driven industry is strongly preferred, particularly medical devices

Desired Skills & Experience

• Background supporting embedded software development teams
• Experience mentoring junior or mid-level engineers in a DevOps or software engineering context
• Familiarity with a broad range of languages and frameworks beyond the core stack
• Track record of identifying process gaps and driving improvements through to implementation
• Comfort with rapidly adopting new tools and technologies as project needs evolve

What You Will Be Doing Tech Breakdown

• CI/CD pipeline design and management using GitLab and Jenkins
• Embedded software support and build system maintenance
• Scripting and automation using Python, Bash, and C
• Linux and Unix-based system administration
• Compliance and security scanning tooling

Daily Responsibilities

• 60% Hands on engineering -- pipeline work, automation, and tooling development
• 20% Cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder engagement
• 20% Mentorship, process improvement, and technical documentation

The Offer

• Bonus eligible

You Will Receive The Following Benefits

• Medical Insurance
