Site Reliability Engineer
At Medtronic, we contribute to human welfare and wellbeing through biomedical engineering. Everyday we’re involved in meaningful work to change people’s lives and health for the better. Now is your chance to join a talented team of engineers focused on providing software development pipelines and frameworks, Kubernetes and container services and technologies, full-stack observability as well as global source code and binary code services to our research scientist, medical device manufacturing, regulatory, IT, marketing, and sales teams across our company.
In this role, along with other open SRE positions on our team, you will work with your manager to best utilize skills, career growth, and interest and your manager will allocate resources of the SRE team members among four (4) key services: Kubernetes / containerization services, source code management services, DevSecOps CI/CD core services, and full-stack observability services. As the SRE roles are currently defining best practices and skills and are in their initial and baseline-building phase within our team at Medtronic, these initial SRE roles offer an exciting and rare opportunity. You will be able to help lay down foundational SRE best practices and patterns, create a base set of SRE services, and work directly with existing product development software engineers and existing support teams to begin to incorporate SRE best practices into their current software product development and operations lifecycle.A Day in the Life
