Accountabilities:

• Design, implement, and operate production-quality infrastructure and internal platforms with significant autonomy and end-to-end ownership.

• Build and expand automated testing infrastructure for software deployed across diverse and remotely accessible edge hardware.

• Develop systems that make automated tests reproducible, reliable, observable, and easy to diagnose when failures occur.

• Enable product engineering and QA teams to contribute automated tests while maintaining a robust platform owned and evolved by the DevOps function.

• Improve CI/CD pipelines, build and release systems, deployment automation, developer tooling, and overall platform reliability.

• Identify high-leverage engineering opportunities, evaluate technical tradeoffs, define solutions, and lead major initiatives from early ambiguity through successful production operation.

• Write production software and automation that improves engineering velocity, system reliability, and operational efficiency.

• Partner closely with engineering teams to understand infrastructure needs and continuously improve developer productivity and software quality.

• Contribute to a culture of strong engineering practices, operational ownership, continuous learning, and accountability.

• Help evolve infrastructure capabilities supporting software that operates in complex, distributed, and edge environments.

Requirements

• Demonstrated Senior- or Staff-level impact designing, building, and owning software systems, with emphasis on scope, technical ownership, and leadership rather than a specific number of years.

• Strong software development skills in at least one production programming language, with the ability to work effectively across different languages and technology stacks.

• Experience with Python and Bash is valuable; familiarity with Go and TypeScript is particularly relevant.

• Professional experience in one or more infrastructure-focused disciplines, including Site Reliability Engineering, Production Engineering, CI/CD, Build & Release, Developer Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, or Test Infrastructure.

• Strong hands-on knowledge of Linux, containers, networking, software delivery pipelines, and production troubleshooting.

• Practical experience designing, implementing, or supporting automated testing at the unit, integration, end-to-end, or system level.

• Proven ability to navigate ambiguous technical problems, make sound engineering tradeoffs, and deliver meaningful outcomes with limited oversight.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering and QA teams.

• A high degree of ownership, initiative, accountability, and comfort operating in a fast-moving environment.

• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, remote device fleet orchestration, edge or embedded systems, performance testing, chaos engineering, platform observability, or large-scale distributed systems is a strong advantage.

• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.

Benefits

• $240,000–$280,000 annual base salary, with final compensation based on experience, technical expertise, demonstrated impact, geographic location, and overall fit.

• Eligibility for equity participation.

• Comprehensive employee benefits package.

• Fully remote work environment within the United States.

• High degree of autonomy and ownership over technically significant initiatives.

• Opportunity to work on challenging infrastructure problems involving edge computing, automated testing, distributed systems, and developer platforms.

• Small, collaborative engineering environment built around trust, accountability, and open communication.

• Opportunity to influence technical direction and build systems that directly support mission-critical operations.

• Culture that encourages initiative, rapid learning, continuous improvement, and solving difficult engineering problems.
