Senior DevOps Engineer

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you are embedded within a hospital-facing clinical software product team as their dedicated DevOps and platform engineering contact. You are not a central ops function - you sit inside the product team, own its delivery infrastructure, and connect it to B. Braun's broader platform capabilities. Your primary assignment is a clinical management platform used in hospitals across Europe - a mature, production-grade Azure-hosted application serving real patient workflows. The product is executing a structured modernisation of its DevOps toolchain toward B. Braun's Digital Foundation standards. You will own this transition: operating the current toolchain while systematically building its replacement. This is not a greenfield role. The stack you inherit is deliberate and functional. Your job is to understand it thoroughly, introduce modern observability and delivery practices, and drive the toolchain migration at a pace that keeps the platform stable.

• Own and evolve the CI/CD pipeline infrastructure for your assigned product - from current-state Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions, without breaking continuity
• Introduce production-grade observability across the platform using OpenTelemetry and B. Braun's centralized monitoring stack
• Manage the product's Azure infrastructure confidently across a multi-tenant, per-customer deployment model
• Execute a controlled, coexistence-based migration of the development toolchain aligned to B. Braun's DevSecOps standards
• Define and monitor SLOs for the product's critical services, enabling data-driven reliability decisions
• Contribute reusable patterns and learnings back to B. Braun's Internal Developer Platform

CI/CD and Pipeline Engineering

• Operate and maintain existing Jenkins pipelines for the product's build, test, and deployment workflows
• Design and implement GitHub Actions pipelines following B. Braun's DevSecOps model and ensuring full traceability and version control
• Manage the coexistence of Jenkins and GitHub Actions during the transition period: two toolchains running in parallel, incrementally converging
• Integrate quality and security tooling into pipelines: Code Quality, Vulnerability Scanning, and SBOM management
• Ensure full traceability and versioning of all pipeline changes within the GitOps model
• Contribute reusable GitHub Actions workflow templates and composite actions to the Internal Developer Platform Cloud

Infrastructure and Kubernetes

• Manage and operate the product's Azure environment: multi-tenant deployment model
• Manage Azure-hosted Windows-based infrastructure (IIS, Windows Server) alongside cloud-native components - the product spans both worlds
• Implement and maintain infrastructure automation using Crossplane XRDs, Helm, and Azure-native tooling
• Support environment provisioning for dev, test, staging, and production environments aligned to the product's DTAP model
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues related to infrastructure, deployments, and runtime behaviour
• Deploy and operate Kubernetes workloads (AKS): responsible for deployments, services, ingress, namespace RBAC, and day-to-day troubleshooting

Observability and Instrumentation

• Deploy OpenTelemetry agent instrumentation alongside the product's runtime - collecting logs, metrics, and traces without modifying application source code - and forward telemetry to B. Braun's centralized observability stack
• Build and maintain Grafana dashboards and Azure Monitor alert rules covering the four golden signals for all critical services
• Define SLIs from the collected telemetry; translate them into SLOs and error budgets in collaboration with the product team
• Identify and eliminate observability gaps - surface what the product team cannot currently see

Toolchain Migration and SDLC Alignment

• Lead the migration to GitHub: archive and preserve repository history and metadata, coordinate sign-off with Quality Management, and execute a controlled cutover
• Align branching strategies, environment models, and release processes with B. Braun's DevSecOps standards - migrating gradually without disrupting existing release cycles
• Migrate documentation tooling while maintaining traceability integrity across requirements, code, and deployments
• Assess and document the product's integration engine topology: how it connects to hospital systems, what dependencies exist, and what a future migration path looks like

SRE and Reliability

• Establish SLOs and SLIs for the product's critical services; track error budgets and provide data-driven input for prioritisation decisions
• Create and maintain runbooks for common operational scenarios to reduce cognitive load during incidents and enable autonomous product team operation
• Participate in incident response and blameless postmortem facilitation for platform-level issues

Platform Contribution (CoC Member)

• Contribute patterns, templates, and learnings from your product team assignment back to B. Braun's Internal Developer Platform
• Participate in CoC design reviews, code reviews, and technical standard-setting
• Share operational experience with CoC colleagues to continuously improve shared platform capabilities
