Background:
Roche Blood Gas and Electrolyte Analyzers deliver fast and reliable results in life critical situations. As part of our Near Patient Care Blood Gas and Electrolytes Analyzer software team, we are looking for an ambitious Embedded DevOps Engineer for medical diagnostic systems. This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic and motivated team for the development of a new blood gas analyzer in an interdisciplinary environment. You will own the build, test, and delivery infrastructure for an embedded hardware software stack. Partnering with Development and QA, you'll design and evolve a robust CI/CD ecosystem, enforce enterprise policies, introduce code-quality tooling, and shape the product architecture for reliable configuration and release management at scale.

The perfect candidate: The ideal candidate is a seasoned DevOps engineer with a minimum of five years' experience in embedded Linux and Android systems, adept at architecting, building, and continuously improving CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/GitHub Actions for fast, reliable, and reproducible builds. This individual possesses a strong technical foundation in C/C++ build workflows (make/cmake), Python scripting, Docker containerization, and administering Debian-based Linux environments, alongside expertise in complex configuration and release management at scale. Furthermore, the perfect fit brings an understanding of code quality/security tooling integration (SAST/SCA) and excellent collaboration skills with fluency in both German (C1) and English (C1) to effectively coach teams and document systems.

Tasks & Responsibilities:
•Build, operate, and continuously improve the software build and test infrastructure for embedded Linux and Android as targets.
•Design, enhance, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab/GitHub) for fast, reliable, and repeatable builds, tests, packaging, and delivery.
•Implement and apply enterprise policies across the toolchain and pipelines (security, access control, auditability, compliance, approvals).
•Introduce and integrate tooling to analyze and ensure code quality (static/dynamic analysis, linters, code coverage, test reporting, SCA).
•Shape the product and workflow for robust configuration and release management (versioning, branching strategy, artifact management, reproducible builds, variant/feature flag management).
•Containerize builds and test environments for consistency and scalability (Docker-based toolchains, runners, caching).
•Support Development and QA with tooling, pipelines, test automation, and debugging of build/integration issues.
•Monitor build health and pipeline performance; drive continuous improvement through metrics and feedback loops.
•Document systems, standards, and best practices; coach teams on effective usage.

Tech stack you'll use:
•Languages: C/C++, Kotlin, Python, Shell
•Build/CI: make, cmake, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions
•Platforms: Linux (runners/build hosts), Android and Debian Linux as target platforms Cloud/Containers: AWS, Docker
•VCS: Git (GitLab/GitHub)
•Quality/Compliance: static/dynamic analysis, coverage, artifact/signing workflows

Must Haves:
•Min. 5 years of experience in DevOps for systems-level or embedded software projects.
•Experience with configuration and release management at scale (semantic versioning, release trains, change control).
•Experience administering Debian-based build hosts/runners and troubleshooting Linux build environments.
•Proficiency with C/C++ build workflows and make (cross-compilation, toolchains,dependency management).
•Hands-on experience with GitLab CI and/or GitHub Actions, including multi-stage pipelines, caching, and artifacts.
•Solid scripting skills in Python for automation, tooling, and glue code.
•Comfortable with Docker for building reproducible environments and runner images.
•Experience administering Debian-based build hosts/runners and troubleshooting Linux build environments. •Familiarity with Android build systems and Kotlin toolchains for building/testing APKs or system components. •Strong understanding of code quality and security practices (SonarQube, linting, code coverage, SAST/DAST/SCA integration).
•Excellent collaboration skills with Development and QA; clear documentation and Communication.
•Fluency in German (C1) and English (C1).

Nice to Haves:
•Knowledge of common embedded build ecosystems and hardware-in-the-loop or emulation-based testing. •Experience operating in AWS.
•Infrastructure as Code and secrets management (Terraform/CloudFormation, AWS Secrets Manager/Parameter Store).
•Container registry and artifact repository experience (eg Artifactory).
•Test automation frameworks and quality gates integrated into CI/CD.
•Familiarity with embedded coding standards and code-quality practices relevant to safety and reliability.
