ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Engineering Productivity Engineer to drive automation, visibility, and process improvements across software development and delivery workflows for a regulated medical device organization. You will build and maintain CI/CD automation using GitLab, develop engineering quality dashboards and DORA metrics reporting, create integrations between GitLab, Jira, Kubernetes, and security scanning platforms, and build governed self-service release tooling that enables compliant deployment across development, SQA, and cybersecurity teams. The role requires 4+ years of DevOps and automation engineering experience with exposure to FDA-regulated or similar regulated development environments as a strong plus.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Design, develop, and maintain automation and software tools that improve developer productivity, engineering efficiency, and operational visibility.
- Automate repetitive engineering workflows and modernize CI/CD, deployment, security, tooling, and observability processes in partnership with Platform Engineering.
- Build and maintain integrations across GitLab, Jira, Kubernetes, AWS, security scanning platforms, and enterprise tooling.
- Develop governed self-service tools and pipelines that enable application teams to safely execute approved software, firmware, and configuration updates with minimal operational dependency.
- Design and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines, reusable templates, automated quality gates, and role-based deployment approvals covering testing, code coverage, static analysis, security scanning, SBOM generation, dependency validation, and compliance evidence.
- Build release-readiness, deployment, audit, and traceability automation to support controlled and compliant software releases.
- Develop dashboards and automated reporting for engineering effectiveness, quality, security, release readiness, and operational performance using data from GitLab, Jira, Kubernetes, AWS, New Relic, and internal systems.
- Implement DORA and engineering effectiveness metrics, including deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and recovery metrics, and generate actionable insights into engineering bottlenecks.
- Monitor and report on operational health, including MTTR, MTBF, availability, release success, deployment duration, incident trends, Kubernetes efficiency, resource utilization, capacity, and cost optimization opportunities.
- Design stakeholder-driven deployment and release workflows that ensure appropriate approvals, governance, compliance, and traceability.
- Create executive, program, and engineering dashboards that provide visibility into program status, development velocity, quality, security posture, release readiness, and operational health.
- Partner with Quality, Security, Development, Release Engineering, and Platform Engineering teams to ensure software delivery processes meet compliance, security, quality, and traceability requirements.
