• Expert knowledge of GitHub Actions and GitOps practices, including self-hosted runners and OIDC authentication to AWS.
• Proven experience creating reusable assets on GitHub (reusable workflows, composite and custom actions, templates) adopted by multiple teams.
• Strong proficiency in Python, writing clean, tested, and reusable code.
• Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), such as IAM, ECR, EC2, and Lambda.
• Proven ability to establish code branching and review processes.

  • Managing artifact repositories and registries (JFrog Artifactory, Amazon ECR).
  • Building Java (Maven, Gradle) and Node.js applications.
  • Defining testing strategies and quality gates in pipelines (unit, integration, and end-to-end tests).
  • Integrating SAST and SCA security tools (SonarQube, Snyk).
• A real enthusiasm for teamwork and helping others across different teams.
• A desire to mentor colleagues and share your knowledge.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

Bonus Skills:

• Experience with Ansible and Packer to build and configure AMIs and EC2 instances.

Here's what you can expect from us:

• Ambitious and passionate people building meaningful products
• An innovative agile working environment allowing for collaboration with smart people and knowledge sharing in cross-functional teams
• We welcome technical evangelists, so if you are interested in any thought leadership contributions (blogs, conferences) within the realm of the organization, we are happy to support you.
• Loads of benefits (brand new Apple hardware, fitness, public transport, lunch benefit, language classes, professional training budget,...)

You will learn about the wide range of technologies we employ, from native mobile development to infrastructure-as-code in our cloud environment, gaining a rich understanding of the specific requirements of medical software, be it security, medical risk management, safe and resilient programming, or certifications and audits.
