## About the role

Sentry Towers are robotic systems: motors, cameras, radars, radios, and sensor boards, running on NVIDIA Jetson compute in the field. Verifying that a system like this works means accounting for physical actuation, real sensor data, and hardware that fails in ways no unit test anticipates. We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own our simulation and hardware test infrastructure and make automated, whole-system testing the default for everything we ship. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years of professional software engineering, with meaningful time spent building test infrastructure, CI systems, or simulation for systems that involve real hardware
- Proficiency in Python for test authoring and automation, plus working ability in Rust or C++ to read and debug the services under test
- Demonstrated experience automating tests against physical hardware: device provisioning, remote power and reset control, serial consoles, network booting, or instrumented benches
- Strong CI/CD engineering skills, including pipelines with expensive stages, hardware resource contention, and scheduled rather than per-commit execution
- Solid Linux systems fundamentals: systemd, networking, filesystems, and boot, since most of what you automate is a Linux system misbehaving
- The judgment to know which tests are worth their cost, and the discipline to fix or delete a flaky test rather than tolerate it
