About the role
You will own the infrastructure our engineers build and ship on, from the Linux distribution running on the robot to the cloud our services run in. This spans further than most infrastructure roles. Embedded Linux builds, cloud infrastructure, CI, and the delivery path to robots in the field all sit with you. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Deep Linux systems knowledge, from kernel and userspace through networking and storage
- Embedded Linux experience with Yocto, Buildroot, or equivalent, including custom board support and image delivery
- Strong software engineering. You write production code, not just configuration and glue. Python, Go, or equivalent, plus comfort in C and C++ build systems
- Strong infrastructure as code practice, particularly Terraform
- Production Kubernetes experience, including operating it rather than just deploying to it
- CI/CD design for heterogeneous builds spanning cloud services, embedded targets, and multiple languages
