About the role
- We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to architect and maintain the infrastructure foundation that powers our autonomous vehicle orchestration platform.
- You'll own the deployment pipelines, infrastructure automation, and security frameworks that enable our engineering teams to deliver software across AWS cloud, on-premises data centers, and edge computing environments on autonomous vehicles.
- This role focuses on building scalable, secure, and compliant infrastructure systems rather than machine learning operations.
Responsibilities
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for deploying ROS2-based microservices and orchestration software across multiple environments
- Implement container orchestration using Docker, with a growth path toward Kubernetes as the platform scales
- Manage AWS cloud infrastructure, on-premises deployments, and edge device provisioning for autonomous vehicle fleets
- Develop infrastructure automation and configuration management tools to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments
- Implement and maintain DoD IL4/IL5 security compliance, including encryption, access controls, and audit logging
- Build internal tooling and CLI utilities to improve developer productivity and deployment reliability
- Design observability and monitoring systems for distributed autonomous vehicle orchestration across multiple domains
- Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize deployment strategies for constrained edge computing environments
- Support field deployment operations and troubleshoot infrastructure issues during customer demonstrations
- Staff Platform/DevOps / MLOps Engineer - own CI/CD and field deployment infrastructure.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure automation
- Expert-level proficiency with Docker containerization and container orchestration concepts
- Strong experience with AWS cloud services (EC2, ECS, S3, VPC, IAM,

- Experience deploying software to embedded or edge computing platforms (Jetson,
- Raspberry Pi, tactical computers)
- Knowledge of ROS2 middleware and robotics software deployment patterns
- Background in defense, aerospace, or mission-critical infrastructure environments
- Experience with tactical networking and field deployment operations
Skills
- Security-first mindset with deep understanding of compliance and audit requirements
- Collaborative team player who thrives working with engineering, AI, and field operations teams
- Detail-oriented problem solver comfortable with debugging complex distributed systems
- Adaptable to rapid iteration cycles while maintaining security and reliability standards
Benefits
- Flexible time off
