Senior DevOps & Release Engineer

At Zimmer Biomet, we believe in pushing the boundaries of innovation and driving our mission forward. As a global medical technology leader for nearly 100 years, a patient’s mobility is enhanced by a Zimmer Biomet product or technology every 8 seconds.

As a Zimmer Biomet team member, you will share in our commitment to providing mobility and renewed life to people around the world. To support our talent team, we focus on development opportunities, robust employee resource groups (ERGs), a flexible working environment, location specific competitive total rewards, wellness incentives and a culture of recognition and performance awards. We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels included, respected, empowered and recognised.

What You Can Expect

As a Senior DevOps & Release Engineer, you will join a multidisciplinary engineering organization responsible for delivering regulated Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) solutions. You will work closely with Software Engineering, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Security, IT, Product, and Research teams to ensure the delivery of secure, reliable, compliant, and audit-ready software platforms used in clinical and field environments. This role serves as the technical authority for DevOps, CI/CD, release engineering, and operational infrastructure within a regulated medical device environment.

At Orthogrid Systems, we develop advanced software applications that assist surgeons during intraoperative procedures using fluoroscopic imaging systems. More information on our website: OrthoGrid | Zimmer Biomet.

How You'll Create Impact
