• Containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker, ECS, EKS Opensearch or other Lucene-based search engines HIPAA, PHI, and PII compliance

What the job involves

• We are seeking an experienced engineering leader to build and lead our Quality Engineering and DevOps functions at Butterfly Network
• This is a high-impact role sitting at the intersection of reliability, velocity, and quality — responsible for ensuring our software and infrastructure meet the rigorous standards required of a regulated medical device company
• As Director, you will own both the QA and DevOps disciplines end-to-end: setting the strategy for test automation, CI/CD pipelines, release processes, infrastructure reliability, and developer experience
• You will lead a distributed team spanning onshore and offshore engineers, partnering closely with product engineering, security, and regulatory teams to ship fast without sacrificing quality or compliance
• As part of our team, your core responsibilities will
• Lead, grow, and inspire a high-performing team of QA and DevOps engineers spanning onshore and offshore — building a culture of ownership, craft, and continuous improvement
• Define and execute the strategy for quality engineering across the organization — automated testing frameworks, test coverage standards, regression pipelines, and quality metrics
• Own the DevOps and platform engineering roadmap — CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, deployment automation, cloud cost optimization, and developer tooling
• Partner with engineering leadership to establish release management processes that support high-velocity delivery while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements (HIPAA, FDA, SOC 2)
• Drive observability and site reliability engineering (SRE) practices — on-call processes, incident response, runbooks, SLAs/SLOs, and post-mortems. Recruit, retain, and develop top QA and DevOps talent; build a team that other engineers love working with
• Establish clear quality gates across the SDLC — from PR review through production — reducing defect escape rates and improving release confidence
• Champion a security-first mindset, ensuring infrastructure and release processes meet security and compliance standards
• Serve as a cross-functional partner to product engineering, regulatory, IT, and security teams to align on standards and unblock delivery
