You will also act as a key technical contact within R&D for complex infrastructure and deployment related topics.

You will be part of the local CM team within our development organization, which delivers the control parts of 800xA as well as the next generation of Automation Products from ABB.

• Automating operational and build tasks, and continuously improving our CM and DevOps tooling and ways of working.
• Monitoring system health and supporting environments, working closely with developers to improve performance and resolve issues.
• Championing security, compliance, and clear documentation across our environments and pipelines.
• Acting as a technical point of contact within R&D and sharing knowledge across the global CM and DevOps community at ABB.

Qualifications for the role:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent.
• Several years of experience in DevOps and/or software CM, with a genuine interest in both disciplines.
• Hands-on skills in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Bash) and comfort with containerization and cloud platforms such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with tools such as Azure DevOps, and working with Git-based version control.
• A solid grasp of CM and change management practices, including branch and release strategies, with exposure to tooling such as Ansible or Terraform.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, an Agile mindset, and a proactive, ownership-driven approach to problem-solving.
• Experience from industrial automation, safety-critical product development (e.g., to IEC 61508), or large-scale distributed systems is a plus.
