Make your mark for patientsWe are looking for a DevOps Automation Lead who is strategic, collaborative, and forward-thinking to join us in our Digital Technology team, based in our HQ in Brussels, Belgium.
About the role
In this global role, you will lead how Digital Technology builds, ships, and secures software. You will own the DevOps automation roadmap end to end: CI/CD pipelines, code repository management, AI-assisted coding, and security policy enforced directly inside the pipeline rather than bolted on afterwards. This is an AI-native role. You will treat applications, agents, and policy-as-code as first-class parts of the toolchain, set the engineering standards that make automated delivery safe at scale, and continuously push the boundary of what can be automated in a secure and regulated environment.
Who you’ll work withYou will be working in a team that partners closely with engineering teams, platform owners, cybersecurity, and external delivery partners across multiple regions. You will collaborate daily with developers, cloud and platform engineers, and security architects, bringing the toolchain, the guardrails, and the developer experience together. The team values engineering craftsmanship, shared accountability, and hands-on problem-solving, and works across a diverse technology landscape to deliver reliable, secure, and future-ready software.
What you’ll doDefine and evolve the DevOps automation roadmap covering CI/CD, source control, artefact management, and AI-assisted engineering across Digital TechnologyDesign, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub, from commit to production, including automated testing, quality gates, environment promotion, and release orchestrationEstablish automated code quality checks using SonarQube, including static analysis, code coverage, duplication, maintainability, reliability, and security thresholds, with quality gates that block non-compliant pull requests, merges, and releasesLead, coach, and develop a high-performing DevOps automation team, setting clear objectives, building technical and leadership capabilities, supporting career growth, and fostering an inclusive culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvementAnticipate emerging technology and business needs and shape the capabilities of the future by defining the skills, platforms, ways of working, and talent development priorities required for an AI-enabled engineering organizationOwn code repository management at scale: branching and versioning strategies, code review standards, reusable templates, artefact and dependency governanceEmbed security and compliance policies directly into the pipelines through static and dynamic code scanning, dependency and secrets detection, SBOM generation, signed artefacts, and policy-as-code gates that produce automated audit evidenceDrive adoption of AI coding assistants and agentic engineering practices, defining the guardrails, code-generation standards, review models, and measurement approach that turn them into real, safe productivity gainsOwn the engineering metrics that matter, including deployment frequency, lead time for change, change failure rate, and recovery time, and use them to raise delivery performance, platform reliability, and developer experienceInterested? For this role we’re looking for the following education, experience and skillsBachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or another relevant fieldAt least 7 years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, or CI/CD automation, including knowledge of pipelines and repository engineering in complex organizationsDeep, hands-on expertise with Azure DevOps and GitHub: pipelines and actions, runners, branching strategies, infrastructure as code, containers, and cloud-native delivery on AzureHands-on experience with SonarQube or comparable code quality platforms, including rule profiles, quality gates, pull-request analysis, test coverage reporting, and integration with Azure DevOps and GitHub pipelinesProven people management experience, with a strong track record of coaching, developing, and retaining technical talent, managing performance, and building effective teams across internal and external contributorsProven DevSecOps experience with policy-as-code, and automated compliance controls in regulated environmentsAI-native mindset, with real experience using AI coding assistants and agents across the delivery lifecycle and a clear point of view on where autonomous engineering is headingExcellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics clearly and influence engineering and security decisions at different levelsAre you ready to ‘go beyond’ to create value and make your mark for patients? If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you
