the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$4,126 more — $110,926 — moves this role to Level II and 2 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $110,926 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- Boston Scientific was recognized by Forbes as one of the Best Workplaces for Engineers in 2026, reflecting a culture where engineers do meaningful work.
- This role operates at the intersection of platform engineering, site reliability engineering (SRE), security and application teams, transforming delivery into a product rather than a collection of one-off pipelines and manual processes.
- At Boston Scientific, we value collaboration and synergy.
Responsibilities
- You will shape how infrastructure, application and platform changes move from source control through build, test, release and production operations, enabling fast delivery without compromising safety, compliance or operational stability.
- Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code modules, pipeline templates and Terraform-based compositions supporting landing zones, platform services, application environments and sandbox lifecycle controls.
- Standardize build, test and release evidence capture to ensure traceable quality gates, signed artifacts and auditable approvals for all promotion decisions.
- Enable safe and resilient delivery through blue-green, canary, rolling and feature flag deployment strategies, including rollback design, smoke validation and change evidence capture.
- Partner with architecture, security, SRE, platform engineering and product teams to improve release readiness, reduce lead time and remove friction from compliant delivery.
- Design delivery capabilities that incorporate cost control, environment parity and operational resilience, including tagging standards, capacity-aware deployments, backup and disaster recovery validation.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, engineering or a related technical field.
- Minimum of 4 years' experience designing and implementing reusable delivery platforms, including infrastructure-as-code modules, CI/CD pipeline templates and governed release workflows.
- Strong experience with release engineering practices, including environment promotion, deployment gating, versioning, traceability, artifact signing and software provenance.
- Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python and Bash, with working knowledge of Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and platform management.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes-based platforms and containerized workload orchestration.
Nice to have
- Master's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems or a related field.
- Experience leading platform modernization or DevOps transformation initiatives with measurable improvements in deployment frequency, stability and recovery time.
- Experience with GitOps tools such as Flux or Argo CD and progressive delivery or configuration management practices.
- Experience with cloud-native observability, distributed tracing, service-level objectives (SLOs) and incident response practices.
- Experience with policy-as-code, software supply chain security and provenance controls.
- Experience supporting integrated delivery pipelines across applications, infrastructure and data platforms in Azure environments.
- Experience with container registries, image scanning, dependency management and secure software delivery practices.
- For MA positions: It is unlawful to require or administer a lie detector test for employment.
