Job Description
In this role, you will be a pivotal member of the software team, responsible for the entire software development lifecycle platform that our robotics engineers rely on. You will own the critical intersection of infrastructure, tooling, and automation, ensuring our developers can build, test, and deploy complex robotics software with maximum velocity and reliability. This role requires a generalist mindset, blending hands-on infrastructure management with understanding of the C++ build ecosystem. The ideal candidate is a pragmatic problem-solver, working through problems not seen before, managing a Kubernetes cluster one day and optimizing a CMake script the next.
CI/CD Ownership
- Design, build, and maintain scalable and resilient CI/CD pipelines tailored for a large-scale C++ and Python codebase.
- Take ownership of the underlying infrastructure for our CI/CD system, including managing container orchestration (Kubernetes) for build agents and services.
- Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in the build and test process, applying optimizations such as advanced caching, parallelization, and build system improvements (CMake).
- Manage artifact and container registries, ensuring secure, reliable, and fast access to software dependencies and build outputs.
Developer Experience & Automation
- Develop and maintain essential tooling and automation that simplifies and accelerates the entire development workflow, from local development to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
- Manage the C++ dependency ecosystem using tools like Conan, balancing developer flexibility with build reproducibility and stability.
- Automate the provisioning and configuration of development and testing resources using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles with tools like Terraform and Ansible.
- Work directly with robotics engineers to understand their challenges and collaboratively develop effective, pragmatic solutions.
System Reliability & Problem Solving
- Act as a key troubleshooter for complex, cross-domain issues spanning application code, build systems (CMake, ROS2), containerization, networking, and infrastructure.
- Implement and manage a robust monitoring and observability strategy to ensure the health, performance, and reliability of the entire development platform.
- Ensure consistency and reproducibility across all environments, from a developer's laptop to our physical robots.

5+ years of relevant experience in a DevOps, Software Engineering, or Build/Release Engineering role.
A proven track record of supporting software development teams by building and maintaining reliable infrastructure and effective tooling.
Expertise in scripting and automation using modern languages like Python or Bash.
A strong command of the Linux operating system, including networking, file systems, permissions, resource management, and shell environments.
Experience with C++ and a strong command of its build ecosystem, particularly CMake.
Proven ability to design, build, and manage complex, automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bitbucket pipelines, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
Proficiency with containerization technologies.
A solid understanding of core networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP).
Nice to Have Skills & Experience
Experience with C++ package managers like Conan.
Familiarity with robotics frameworks, particularly ROS2.
Experience with build optimization and caching tools (ccache, sccache).
