At QuidelOrtho , we’re advancing the power of diagnostics for a healthier future for all . Join our mission as our next Senior DevOps Engineer to join our R&D Instrument Platforms organization. This role will focus on the design, implementation, and operation of Azure DevOps–centric CI/CD pipelines that support safety‑critical, regulated medical device software. The DevOps Engineer will partner closely with Software, Systems, and Quality teams to enable reliable, repeatable, and auditable build and release workflows across a distributed Linux-based product portfolio.

This is an opportunity to shape build, release, and compliance infrastructure, including software bill of materials (SBOM) generation and Yocto-based embedded Linux build pipelines, within a regulated quality management system.

This position is remote eligible but candidates local to Rochester, NY are highly desirable.

NOTE: If you are working remotely, you must be able to travel to Rochester, NY on as-needed basis (about once a quarter).

The Responsibilities This role is responsible for enabling secure, scalable, and traceable software delivery pipelines with Azure DevOps Pipelines as the primary CI/CD platform, while supporting long-lived medical device programs. • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Pipelines as the system of record. • Integrate Azure DevOps and/or GitHub repositories with Azure DevOps pipelines where applicable (e.g., GitHub-hosted code with Azure-hosted CI/CD and artifacts). • Define and enforce branching strategies, pull request policies, build validation, and release gates within Azure DevOps. • Create and maintain automated build pipelines for Yocto-based embedded Linux applications, including cross-compilation and image generation. • Implement Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation and publication as part of the CI/CD pipeline to support cybersecurity and regulatory requirements. • Integrate build pipelines with static analysis, test execution, code coverage, and quality reporting tools. • Integrate requirements/PLM systems with verification tooling (test management, automated execution, and reporting) to enable end-to-end traceability from requirements to test evidence and release artifacts. • Establish artifact management and versioning strategies using Azure DevOps Artifacts or equivalent repositories. • Support containerized build environments (Docker and/or Podman) to ensure reproducible and deterministic builds. • Partner with Quality and Regulatory stakeholders to ensure pipelines support traceability, auditability, and controlled releases in a regulated development lifecycle. • Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize pipeline reliability, performance, and cost. • Act as a DevOps subject matter expert, providing guidance, documentation, and onboarding support for development teams. • Help configure and manage Azure DevOps project. • Support secure credential handling, secrets management, and least‑privilege access within pipelines. • Perform other work-related duties as assigned.

The Individual Required: • B.S. or M.S. Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or a related discipline required. • Minimum of 5 years of experience in DevOps, build engineering, or platform engineering roles. • Strong, hands-on experience with Azure DevOps Pipelines as a primary CI/CD platform. • Solid experience integrating GitHub with Azure DevOps for source control, PR workflows, and build validation. • Proficiency with Git, including branching strategies and release flows. • Experience generating and managing Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) as part of automated build workflows. • Strong Linux expertise, including scripting and troubleshooting in build environments. • Familiarity with containerized builds using Docker and/or Podman. • Experience integrating automated build, test, and quality checks into CI/CD pipelines. • Strong analytical and debugging skills with a systematic approach to diagnosing pipeline and infrastructure failures. • Ability to travel 15% or less, domestically, if working remotely.

Preferred: • Experience working in regulated software development environments (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 62304, or similar). • Experience designing and maintaining Yocto build pipelines for embedded Linux environments. • Experience managing self-hosted Azure DevOps build agents, including Linux-based and containerized agents. • Scripting experience using Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation and tooling. • Familiarity with secure DevOps practices, including secrets management and pipeline hardening. • Experience integrating PLM/ALM/requirements systems with test management and automation tooling to support traceability (requirements ↔ test cases ↔ results) and generation of audit-ready verification evidence. • Demonstrated experience standing up an end-to-end software delivery pipeline from greenfield (source control and branching strategy, CI/CD, artifact management, quality gates, automated testing, traceability/evidence workflows, and operational governance). • Experience supporting multi-repository or monorepo architectures with share
