About the role
Location: Remote (US) or Hybrid – Boston, MA (2 days per week in office)
PathAI's mission is to improve patient outcomes with AI-powered pathology.
Our platform promises substantial improvements to the accuracy of diagnosis and the efficacy of treatment of diseases like cancer, leveraging modern approaches in machine learning and artificial intelligence. We have a track record of success in deploying AI algorithms for histopathology in translational research, pathology labs and clinical trials. Rigorous science and careful analysis are critical to the success of everything we do. Our team, composed of diverse employees with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, is passionate about solving challenging problems and making a huge impact on patient outcomes.
The Opportunity
PathAI is hiring its first dedicated Developer Operations Engineer to own the systems that let our engineers ship: release automation, CI/CD, build and deployment infrastructure, and developer environments across our products. That includes AISight, our digital pathology platform used by hospitals and labs and deployed both in the cloud and on-premises, as well as the software behind our biopharma clinical trial services.
Today this work is spread across product engineers and is constantly weighed against feature delivery. You will change that. You'll own your own backlog and OKRs, set technical direction for how we build, test, and release software, and partner closely with our product and integration engineering teams, embedding with them when a project calls for it. Because our clinical software is regulated as a medical device, you'll design automation that makes releases faster and safer while meeting our quality system requirements.
This is a high-leverage senior role with a clear path to growing into a team. Your work will directly return engineering capacity to the organization and make frequent, low-risk releases routine.
• You will own our release process end to end for both cloud and on-premises deployments, automating manual steps such as versioning, localization, and zero-downtime (blue-green) cutovers
• You will partner with our quality and regulatory teams to design compliant release and rollback processes, so we can ship changes and revert them quickly and safely
• You will design and maintain fast, reliable CI/CD pipelines, with sensible container image build strategies and consistent configuration across repositories, using DORA metrics to measure and improve delivery performance
• You will bring all of our product lines onto a common release and infrastructure model, including zero-downtime deployments, repository consolidation, and faster pipeline feedback for developers
• You will standardize deployment tooling, monitoring, and observability across cloud, on-premises, production, and test environments, including packaging and upgrade paths for customer-hosted installations
• You will build the product performance metrics we report as part of ongoing regulatory monitoring
• You will automate the release documentation our quality system requires as a regulated medical device company
• You will find and fix the root causes of recurring operational issues, tightening feedback loops between support and engineering
• You will set long-term direction for how every PathAI service is built, deployed, and operated
Who You Are (Required)
• You have 5+ years of experience in DevOps, platform, build/release, or site reliability engineering
• You have deep expertise designing and maintaining CI/CD systems (e.g. GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Kargo)
• You have strong experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform or similar)
• You have hands-on experience with a major clou
