At Quidel Ortho, we’re advancing the power of diagnostics for a healthier future for all. Join our mission as our next Senior Dev Ops Engineer to join our R&D Instrument Platforms organization. This role will focus on the design, implementation, and operation of Azure Dev Ops–centric CI/CD pipelines that support safety‑critical, regulated medical device software. The Dev Ops 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.

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

This role is responsible for enabling secure, scalable, and traceable software delivery pipelines with Azure Dev Ops Pipelines as the primary CI/CD platform, while supporting long‑lived medical device programs.

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure Dev Ops Pipelines as the system of record.
• Integrate Azure Dev Ops and/or Git Hub repositories with Azure Dev Ops pipelines where applicable (e.g., Git Hub-hosted code with Azure-hosted CI/CD and artifacts).
• Define and enforce branching strategies, pull request policies, build validation, and release gates within Azure Dev Ops.
• 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 Dev Ops 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 Dev Ops subject matter expert, providing guidance, documentation, and onboarding support for development teams.
• Help configure and manage Azure Dev Ops project.
• Support secure credential handling, secrets management, and least‑privilege access within pipelines.
• Perform other work‑related duties as assigned.

• 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 Dev Ops, build engineering, or platform engineering roles.
• Strong, hands‑on experience with Azure Dev Ops Pipelines as a primary CI/CD platform.
• Solid experience…
