About B. Braun and This Team B. Braun is one of the world’s leading medical device and pharmaceutical companies, developing and manufacturing products and solutions for healthcare professionals and patients across more than 60 countries. Our Group Digital Department (GDD) is driving a major technology transformation — building the digital foundation that powers B. Braun’s clinical products and healthcare platforms on modern cloud infrastructure. The Center of Competence (CoC) Platform Engineering & DevOps is at the heart of this transformation. We build and operate the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that enables B. Braun’s product engineering teams to deliver faster, more reliably, and with less operational overhead. We are GitOps-first, Kubernetes-native, and treat developer experience as a product discipline — not a side effect of infrastructure work. The CoC is an active engineering community — not a fixed structure. As the platform matures and team needs evolve, so does the CoC itself. You’ll have a genuine hand in shaping how we work, not just executing within a defined process. <hr> Role Overview 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. <hr> Your Mission <ul> <li>Own and evolve the CI/CD pipeline infrastructure for your assigned product — from current-state Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions, without breaking continuity</li> <li>Introduce production-grade observability across the platform using OpenTelemetry and B. Braun’s centralized monitoring stack</li> <li>Manage the product’s Azure infrastructure confidently across a multi-tenant, per-customer deployment model</li> <li>Execute a controlled, coexistence-based migration of the development toolchain aligned to B. Braun’s DevSecOps standards</li> <li>Define and monitor SLOs for the product’s critical services, enabling data-driven reliability decisions</li> <li>Contribute reusable patterns and learnings back to B.

Braun’s centralized observability stack</li> <li>Build and maintain Grafana dashboards and Azure Monitor alert rules covering the four golden signals for all critical services</li> <li>Define SLIs from the collected telemetry; translate them into SLOs and error budgets in collaboration with the product team</li> <li>Identify and eliminate observability gaps — surface what the product team cannot currently see</li> </ul> Toolchain Migration and SDLC Alignment <ul> <li>Lead the migration to GitHub: archive and preserve repository history and metadata, coordinate sign-off with Quality Management, and execute a controlled cutover</li> <li>Align branching strategies, environment models, and release processes with B. Braun’s DevSecOps standards — migrating gradually without disrupting existing release cycles</li> <li>Migrate documentation tooling while maintaining traceability integrity across requirements, code, and deployments</li> <li>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</li> </ul> SRE and Reliability <ul> <li>Establish SLOs and SLIs for the product’s critical services; track error budgets and provide data-driven input for prioritisation decisions</li> <li>Create and maintain runbooks for common operational scenarios to reduce cognitive load during incidents and enable autonomous product team operation</li> <li>Participate in incident response and blameless postmortem facilitation for platform-level issues </li> </ul> Platform Contribution (CoC Member) <ul> <li>Contribute patterns, templates, and learnings from your product team assignment back to B.
