About the role

  • This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who treats developer productivity as a systems problem.

Responsibilities

  • Own GitHub-based engineering workflows, including PR validation, CI triggers, quality gates, and release automation.
  • Improve engineering feedback loops, build reliability, and deployment confidence across local and CI environments.
  • Own the developer-facing SDK and CLI experience, including install flow, CLI ergonomics, Python package usability, examples, quickstarts, and release quality.
  • Build and maintain reproducible, secure, and air-gapped developer and release workflows.
  • Partner across autonomy, simulation, systems, and field engineering teams to ensure workflows reflect real operational needs.
  • U.S. Citizen with the ability and willingness to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance (sponsorship available)
  • Developer Experience at NODA is not a support function - it is a force multiplier.
  • We build the internal tooling, build systems, release automation, SDK workflows, and self-service developer surfaces that allow engineers to move from idea to validated artifact quickly and reliably.
  • local development, GitHub workflows, CI/CD, build optimization, test feedback, release automation, SDK packaging, documentation, and first-run experience.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Developer Experience, platform engineering, build/release engineering, infrastructure engineering, or software engineering focused on internal tools.
  • Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and automated release workflows.
  • Experience owning SDKs, CLIs, or developer-facing platforms.
  • Experience with containers and reproducible development environments.

Nice to have

  • Experience with air-gapped, classified, CUI, or restricted-network deployment patterns.
  • Experience supporting autonomy, robotics, simulation, edge, embedded, or defense-adjacent software workflows.
  • Experience owning SDKs, CLIs, Python packages, or developer-facing platforms.
  • Experience with Python packaging and distribution, including PyPI, containers, or offline bundles.
  • Experience with cloud-backed build infrastructure, including AWS EC2, self-hosted runners, or ephemeral environments.
  • Familiarity with distributed messaging systems such as Zenoh, DDS, MQTT, or similar.
  • Product-minded: treats developers as users and internal platforms as products.
  • Systems-oriented: understands the full path from local development to release artifact.
