About the role
Our robots are built by a small team that ships fast and deploys onto hardware in customer facilities. Between a laptop and a running humanoid there are: a C++/Python/Rust monorepo, an ARM64 cross-compile matrix, kernel modules and a real-time patch set, container images that have to land on Jetson devices, and a rollout process that cannot brick a robot several timezones away.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years operating production infrastructure for a software engineering org, with direct ownership of CI/CD or developer platform work
- Deep Linux systems fluency including networking, storage, systemd, kernel and driver debugging
- Hands-on ownership of a major CI system (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Buildkite, Jenkins) and an understanding of the build and cache layers underneath it
- Real experience with a C/C++ build system at scale e.g., Bazel, CMake, or equivalent. Should include cross-compilation and dependency pinning
- Infrastructure as code (Ansible, Terraform) and a GitOps mindset: reviewable, reproducible, version-controlled change
- Fluent Python and Bash. You automate rather than document a manual procedure

Job Title: Staff Platform Engineer - Developer Infrastructure
Travel: 10%
Persona AI is building humanoid robots for the most demanding environments in heavy industry — shipyards, steel mills, fabrication facilities, and offshore platforms — performing welding, grinding, maintenance, inspection, and material-handling work that is dangerous, physically demanding, and increasingly difficult to staff.
We are backed by leading strategic and financial investors and engaged with global industrial leaders across Korea, Japan, the United States, and Singapore. Korea is the center of gravity for our early commercial strategy, anchored by relationships with the world’s leading shipbuilders and steelmakers. Our work spans both the robot platform itself and the systems, partners, and playbooks required to deploy it at scale.
We offer competitive compensation, a performance-based bonus, 99% employer covered medical benefits, early-stage equity, competitive PTO, and a company-wide paid winter break between December 24th and January 2nd.
You’ll shape technology that’s redefining the possibilities of robotics and human interaction.
