Hands-on DevOps Engineer owning CI/CD pipelines, Linux-based development infrastructure, and tooling (JIRA, Git, Bitbucket, Confluence) for a medical device design and manufacturing firm in Bristol.
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our team in the Bristol Design & Product Development (D&PD) office, part of the Ensera Group.
Ensera has facilities in Europe, the USA, and Asia, as well as Design & Development hubs in Bristol, UK (where you’ll be based), and New Jersey and Colorado in the USA.
In this role, you’ll report directly to and work alongside the Head of IT, taking ownership of the development infrastructure, tooling, environments, and automation that enable our software and engineering teams to deliver effectively.
You’ll work closely with software, embedded, electronics, and wider engineering teams to ensure our development environments are secure, reliable, scalable, and efficient. A key part of the role will be improving our CI/CD capability, development workflows, infrastructure, automation, and deployment practices, while administering the core platforms that underpin the software development lifecycle.
This is a hands‑on role where you’ll have the opportunity to identify improvements, introduce automation, and help shape how DevOps practices develop across Ensera Design. You’ll also contribute to wider infrastructure, cybersecurity, and group technology projects where required.
Occasional travel to other Ensera locations, including Ireland, Poland, and the USA, may be required, and some projects could involve evening or weekend work.
About you
You’re a technically capable and proactive DevOps Engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of software development, infrastructure, automation, and security.
You’ll be comfortable taking ownership of development platforms and environments, working directly with engineering teams to understand their requirements and implementing solutions that make development faster, more reliable, repeatable, and secure.
You’re interested in more than simply keeping systems running. You look for opportunities to automate manual processes, improve CI/CD pipelines, standardise development environments, and create better tooling and workflows for engineers.
You’re methodical and comfortable troubleshooting complex issues across Linux, development tooling, networks, servers, and software environments. You can communicate clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues and are confident documenting systems and explaining technical decisions during project reviews or audits.
Working within medical device development also means you’ll understand the importance of security, traceability, documentation, reliability, and controlled change.
Experience in one or more of the following:
Experience in any of the following specific areas would be desirable:
DevOps & CI/CD
Development Tool Administration
Development Environments & Infrastructure

The salary for this role is £45,000 to £50,000, commensurate with the experience of the successful candidate. During your application, we will ask you for your salary expectations. If you would like to discuss this in further detail, please reach out to us.
We offer flexible hybrid working policies in terms of working hours from day one. We operate availability hours so people can start at 9:30am if needed, lunch can be taken between 12:00pm to 2:00pm, and we offer an early finish on Fridays if you have banked your contracted hours for the week.
Our full-time contract is 38 hours per week. Colleagues at Ensera Design work with a great deal of flexibility, which varies across our teams. An individual’s working pattern is agreed with their respective line managers, taking into account the needs of the individual and the team. We anticipate this role to be office-based only to start, with flexibility once settled in to the role.
We recognise that we are only as good as our people, and we know how important it is to support our team.
We offer:
We are based in an iconic Grade II listed building in the heart of Bristol. Our vibrant workspace houses state‑of‑the‑art labs, a design studio, usability suites, and collaborative meeting spaces. Nestled in a lively neighbourhood with independent shops, we’re just a short walk from Park Street, the Harbourside, and St. Nick’s Markets.
We are proud of our values:
Our diverse, multidisciplinary team spans research, design, human factors, engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, and beyond. Together, we deliver cutting‑edge solutions for clients ranging from global leaders to innovative start‑ups, with a particular focus on medical devices, drug delivery, orthopaedics, and diagnostics.
Do we sound like a good match for you?
Please note we intend to shortlist applications as they come in and we reserve the right to close the vacancy earlier if we have a high level of applications. We look forward to hearing from you!
If you want to be part of a contract design and manufacturing organization that thinks outside the box, or you’re passionate about advancing healthcare solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
