Requirements

Master's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technical field.
6+ years of experience with Azure (preferred), GCP, or AWS, specifically focused on IAM, VPC networking, and managed services (EKS, RDS, Lambda).
Orchestration Expert: Deep expertise in Kubernetes (designing and troubleshooting clusters, not just using them) and container security.
Automation Specialist: Advanced proficiency in CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins) and configuration management (Ansible/Terraform).
Security Mindset: Practical experience implementing "Zero Trust" architectures and managing secrets (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager).
Distributed Cloud Native Application Debugging: Ability to troubleshoot complex distributed applications at scale with complex data ingestion workflows that require the highest security to comply with a highly regulated environment.
Software Engineering Skillset: Ability to navigate and understand large code based in multiple languages like C#, C++, Python, and Java.
Collaboration as Code: Ability to make operational systems and processes easily repeatable; comfortable with complex scripting and building CLI applications in Python or similar languages.
Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Relevant DevOps (e.g., Azure DevOps Engineer Expert), cloud, and security (e.g., CISSP/CCSP) certifications are strongly preferred.
Systems Thinking: The ability to see how a small change in a Terraform module affects the entire regulatory posture of the product.
Developer Empathy: A genuine desire to make life easier for software engineers; they should view "The Platform" as their product. You are comfortable collaborating with developer through code so you can meet them where they are.
Communication: The ability to explain complex architectural trade-offs to both executive leadership and junior developers.
Growth Mindset: The ability to embrace learning and development for yourself and the team.
Travel Flexibility: Be available for travel to Hologic offices, training, conferences, and customer sites.
Autonomous Alignment: Work with minimal supervision while aligning with strategic intentions and corporate priorities.
Global Regulatory Environment: Ensure continuous awareness and adherence to regulatory requirements for our development environments and solutions.

Responsibilities

Platform as a Product: Design and evangelize a self-service platform that allows developers to provision compliant infrastructure (databases, clusters, storage) via code or a developer portal.
Technical Leadership and Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to DevOps engineers, fostering their professional growth and ensuring team success.
Architectural Governance: Design resilient, multi-region cloud architectures (AWS/Azure) that meet HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 13485 standards.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop and maintain a library of hardened, reusable Terraform or Pulumi modules that "bake in" security and logging by default.
Developer Experience (DevEx): Conduct regular "friction audits" to identify where developers are getting stuck in the pipeline and build automated solutions to remove those hurdles.
Security & Compliance Automation: Collaborate with security to integrate automated "Compliance as Code" checks, ensuring every deployment generates an immutable audit trail for FDA/MDR submissions.
Cost & Performance Strategy: Lead FinOps initiatives to optimize cloud spend and design for high availability and low-latency performance in clinical environments.
Cross-Functional Collaboration and Documentation: Partner with IT, Security, and Development teams to create shared solutions, and maintain thorough documentation of processes and tools.
Continuous Improvement and Technology Evaluation: Stay current with industry best practices, evaluate new technologies, and drive continuous improvement within the DevOps environment.
