A Day in the Life

Medtronic Digital Technologies is creating ambitious new products that bring connectivity, real-time guidance, and decision support to the operating room. To support this mission, we are developing compact, high-performance, embedded systems that enable edge computing and connectivity. Working closely with other teams across Medtronic, we are creating a connected ecosystem and leveraging the state of the art in computer vision to provide the most comprehensive view of surgery. If you’re interested in using cutting-edge technology to improve the standard of care in surgery on a global scale, this could be the place for you.

This role is focused on developing and maintaining critical software engineering tools and architecture to drive engineering efficiency, reliability, and continuous improvement. The responsibilities will be diverse, ranging from maintaining AWS resources through Infrastructure as Code (we use OpenTofu) through to enhancing observability tools (we embrace OpenTelemetry) and supporting AI agentic workflows. You will be working with different software engineering groups to understand their problems and coming up with a pragmatic, maintainable solution to solve their problems.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Enhance and maintain our Infrastructure as Code repository to give all our engineers the best cloud resource support.
• Contribute to our CI/CD pipelines to driver further efficiency of our engineers – automate everything where possible.

• Must be willing to commute to London 2–3 days per week, with flexibility around the exact arrangement.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with designing golden paths for internal software engineers - internal developer platforms, developer experience products.
• Experience with Python - when we cannot leverage IaC our code is Python based.
• Experience with deploying production GitOps platforms that manage deployments of multiple applications effectively.
• Familiarity with Governance, Risk , and Compliance (GRC) engineering – platform engineering means we have a duty to address our security and compliance issues through automated means.
