Organization

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian organization that delivers impartial medical care to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from health care in over 70 countries.

We welcome candidates who bring a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to join us in working toward MSF’s common mission.

Department

The Systems Department in the U.S. office of Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is comprised of four technology teams: Digital Internal Operations, Product & Innovation, Infrastructure & Operations, and Helpdesk., Together they provide the vital products and services so that MSF-USA can achieve its ambitious new Strategic Plan (2022-2025).

Project

The role of DevOps will fill a major need for the department and the organization. The existing Infrastructure and Operations team is moving towards a cloud native strategy. A recently formed Product and Innovation team has a product lead and a team of software engineers who are building new products for MSF. The DevOps role will look to advance the collaborations between these teams as well as other teams within MSF-USA and across the MSF movement.

Tasks

MSF-USA is looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer to join our technology team. The DevOps engineer will be responsible for deploying and managing resources on a variety of projects. Other responsibilities may include managing our code repositories, as well as implementing CI/CD pipelines and practices. This position will aid our Infrastructure, Product and Innovation, and other external teams, helping them to build, test, and deploy releases on schedule.

The DevOps role reports to the head of Product and Innovation and the position will take on increasing responsibilities in the first year. We are looking for some with a desire to grow and take on these responsibilities. If you do not meet all these criteria but are eager to learn and grow, we are still interested in your application. Our infrastructure runs on the Microsoft Azure stack. Lack of experience in this specific stack will not exclude candidates, but candidates will have to work in this eco-system.
