Senior DevOps Engineer – Core & Edge Platforms

Description We are building a next-generation autonomous systems platform that operates across cloud and air-gapped environments. The system includes a real-time Command & Control (C2) web application, a modular backend platform, and an edge software stack running on companion computers deployed on drones and field hardware. We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take ownership of designing and implementing the DevOps foundation of the company. This role spans both the Core platform (web + backend services) and the Edge platform (C++/Python), and focuses on defining how software is built, packaged, delivered, and deployed across different environments and architectures. Responsibilities Own the end-to-end DevOps domain across the company’s Core and Edge platforms—from design to implementation Define and build the CI/CD strategy and pipelines for services, applications, and edge software Establish a unified approach for build, packaging, versioning, and artifact management across multiple architectures Design the delivery and deployment model for both cloud and air-gapped environments Create a scalable ecosystem for reliable software distribution, including offline and restricted environments Lead the definition of DevOps standards, best practices, and workflows across engineering teams Collaborate closely with developers and architects to ensure production-ready, maintainable systems Drive automation, reliability, and observability across the entire software lifecycle Requirements 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or similar roles Proven experience building CI/CD systems and DevOps infrastructure from the ground up Strong understanding of software delivery lifecycle across development, build, release, and deployment Strong system-level thinking with focus on reliability, scalability, and maintainability Hands-on experience with: CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins or similar) Containerized environments (Docker and related tooling) Linux-based systems and environments Experience designing or working with: Artifact and package management systems Multi-architecture builds (x86 and ARM) Mixed technology stacks (backend services, web applications, and native/edge software) Ability to design deployment strategies across: Cloud environments Air-gapped environments Nice to Have Experience working with edge devices, embedded systems, or robotics platforms Familiarity with C++ and Python build ecosystems Experience with offline deployment or restricted network environments Background in real-time or mission-critical systems What You’ll Own The DevOps architecture and tooling stack of the company The CI/CD pipelines that power all development and delivery flows The packaging and distribution model for both cloud and edge software The deployment strategy across connected and air-gapped environments The foundation for scalable, reliable software delivery as the system and team grow Why This Role Matters This is a foundational role in a system being built from the ground up. The decisions you make will define how software is delivered across a complex environment that combines cloud systems, real-time applications, and distributed edge devices. You will not just maintain pipelines—you will design the entire delivery ecosystem that enables the platform to scale, operate reliably, and be deployed anywhere.
