Lead CI/CD Platform Engineer

Job Overview

Micromedex is in transformation, and we are seeking a top-tier Lead CI/CD Platform Engineer who can help modernize how MDX builds, deploys, operates, and scales mission critical clinical applications in production. This is a transformative senior individual contributor role for an engineer who combines deep CI/CD capability, platform architecture judgement, release discipline, and enough SRE and operations systems expertise to improve how MDX delivers safely into vendor operated production.

Key Responsibilities

• Build CI/CD golden paths: Design and improve GitHub and Jenkins based pipelines, deployment automation, packaging, feature flags, rollback patterns, and release controls that reduce time to deployment while improving quality and repeatability.
• Transform delivery and release maturity: Standardize deployment practices, release runbooks, environment promotion, operational readiness, and engineering patterns so teams can release faster with stronger control and lower production risk.
• Enable vendor operated production: Translate engineering intent into deployment procedures, runbooks, SLOs, incident response handoffs, escalation paths, and measurable service controls that a production operations partner can execute reliably.
• Provide platform and streaming architecture expertise: Work across application architecture, infrastructure, streaming models, databases, caching, environments, security, observability, and deployment dependencies to shape delivery patterns that support MDX transformation.
• Improve automation and Infrastructure as Code: Use GitHub, Jenkins, Ansible, deployment scripting, configuration management, and Infrastructure as Code to reduce manual effort, environment drift, and deployment variability.
• Strengthen SRE and operations practices: Improve SLO readiness, observability hooks, incident response, post incident actions, deployment resilience, and production operability without becoming a pure operations role.
• Partner across and outside the organization: Work with engineering, architecture, security, infrastructure, product, vendor operations, and external partners to remove delivery bottlenecks and embed platform standards across squads.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of hands on engineering experience across CI/CD, DevOps, platform engineering, or release engineering, with proven depth in complex production software environments.
• Demonstrated expertise building and improving CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, rollback patterns, feature flag practices, release controls, environment promotion models, and deployment approaches that reduce time to production.
• Strong proficiency in deployment scripting, with practical experience using languages such as Python, Bash, or Groovy for automation, CI/CD integration, and operational tooling.
• Ability to manage and improve GitHub based engineering workflows, repositories, branching strategies, pull request controls, pipeline integrations, and release automation, with strong proficiency in Jenkins, Ansible, Infrastructure as Code, source control, build automation, test automation, artifact management, configuration management, and deployment scripting.
• Advanced CI/CD engineering experience across GitHub, Jenkins, pipeline design, artifact management, deployment automation, feature flags, rollback patterns, and release controls.
• Experience enabling vendor operated production through release runbooks, deployment procedures, operational handoffs, knowledge transfer, and service controls.
• Strong streaming skills, including hands on experience with streaming models, event driven architecture, asynchronous processing, and operational patterns required to run streaming workloads reliably in production.
• Experience supporting production readiness through SLOs, observability, incident management practices, escalation procedures, and post incident continuous improvement.
• Ability to operate as a transformation minded engineer who can identify delivery maturity gaps, simplify complex deployment processes, improve release runbooks, strengthen feature flag adoption, reduce time to deployment, and influence better engineering standards across teams.
• Strong troubleshooting and triage skills, with the ability to diagnose build, deployment, environment, and production readiness issues under pressure and drive them to resolution.
• Clear, confident communication and partnership skills with the ability to work across engineering, architecture, product, security, infrastructure, vendor operations, and external partner teams.
• Self driven, detail oriented, and highly technical, with a passion for automation, operational excellence, and improving developer productivity.

Preferred Skills

• Infrastructure as Code and automation capability using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, scripting, configuration management, and environment automation.
• Experience in Java.
• Practical SRE and operations systems knowledge, including SLOs, observability, alerting, incident management, resilience, post incident improvement, and production readiness reviews.
• Platform architecture depth across Java applications, cloud infrastructure, databases, caching, streaming models, event driven services, Kubernetes, Docker, Cloudflare, and related production dependencies.
• Experience in regulated, clinical, or high availability environments where auditability, resilience, change control, and data privacy are important.

Work Environment

The role may occasionally require flexibility across time zones to support release windows, operational readiness, incident follow up, and knowledge transfer with production partners.
