## 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
