At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world.

Medtronic strives to enable earlier diagnosis, better treatment, faster complication‑free recovery, and enhanced patient outcomes through less invasive surgical solutions. The Robotic Surgical Technologies Business Unit set the standard for Robotically Assisted Surgery (RAS) by creating innovative surgical products and services that focus on surgical procedures of diseases and conditions.

Located at the Medtronic office in Munich, Germany, as a Principal Dev Ops Software Engineer you will lead and/or participate in supporting our CI/CD infrastructure for the software development organization.
