PHYSICAL AI / AUTONOMY / REAL-WORLD OPERATIONS

DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer

Location: Austin, TX

ABOUT CENTINUS

Centinus builds physical AI and autonomous systems for real-world operations where speed, reliability, and operational effectiveness matter.

Our technology brings AI into the physical world, helping organizations understand complex activity, make faster decisions, and operate intelligent systems in demanding environments. We build for performance beyond the lab - where systems must be dependable, scalable, and ready to support meaningful action in the real world.

We are assembling a small, senior engineering team to solve difficult problems with lasting impact. This is an opportunity to shape the product, the engineering foundation, and the culture of an ambitious early-stage company.

THE ROLE

Centinus is seeking a DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer to make our physical AI platform reliable, secure, testable, and ready for demanding operational environments.

This is a foundational, hands-on role with significant ownership. You will serve as a senior technical authority for DevOps and infrastructure, helping define how Centinus builds, deploys, scales, and operates its platform as the company grows.

You will own the systems and automation that move software safely from development into production, with responsibility spanning infrastructure, CI/CD, release management, system reliability, automated testing, and production readiness. Your work will directly affect product quality, deployment speed, operational resilience, and customer trust.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Build and maintain secure, automated software-delivery pipelines, including release management, security and compliance needs, and software supply-chain practices.

• Develop automated system-level testing and production-readiness workflows across the platform.

• Enable dependable deployment across cloud, on-premises, edge, and disconnected environments.

• Improve availability, observability, recovery, and operational performance - making failures easier to reproduce, diagnose, and prevent.

• Partner with AI, systems, and autonomy engineers to deliver production-ready capabilities and establish infrastructure and quality practices that scale.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Strong experience in DevOps, platform engineering, site reliability engineering, infrastructure, or test automation supporting containerized and distributed production systems.

• Proven ability to build automated CI/CD, system-level testing, and infrastructure automation.

• Strong knowledge of Linux, networking, observability, and secure, highly available, or mission-critical systems.

• Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills, with a high standard for reliability, quality, and operational discipline.

• The ability to take broad ownership and operate effectively in an early-stage environment.

Highly valued: experience with edge systems, robotics, aerospace, government environments, disconnected deployments, or hardware-integrated testing.

BUILD WHAT MATTERS. GROW WITH CENTINUS.

At Centinus, infrastructure, reliability, and quality are essential parts of the product. You will help establish the foundation, make decisions with lasting impact, and expand your scope as the company grows.

• Build and own foundational systems that operate beyond the lab in demanding real-world environments.

• Work directly with experienced leaders across AI, autonomy, systems, and product while helping define the tools, standards, and practices future teams will inherit.

• Grow into broader technical and organizational leadership as the company scales.

• See your work progress from engineering development to real operational use.

WHAT WE VALUE We value exceptional ability, sound judgment, intellectual honesty, diverse perspectives, and people who take ownership of difficult problems.

BENEFITS & EQUITY

• Company equity

• Access to Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their families
