About the role

Proven track record of modernizing legacy components or migrating services across hybrid cloud/on-prem environments while maintaining high uptime for critical engineering workflows. - Systems Observability.
The base pay range for this position is between $118,000 to $150,000 annually.
Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience.

Scale CI/CD and platform services. Own the infrastructure underpinning CI/CD pipelines, ML workflows, and simulation environments - building for reliability and growth, not just today's load.
Own reliability for your systems. Contribute to SLO definitions, participate in on-call rotations, lead post-mortem reviews, and drive systemic improvements that reduce recurrence across on-prem and cloud systems.
Champion Infrastructure as Code. Implement and maintain IaC standards (Terraform, Ansible, Packer) to ensure consistent, reproducible provisioning across all environments - physical and virtual.
Harden infrastructure security. Collaborate with product security engineers to implement secrets management, RBAC, network segmentation, patch processes, and secure-by-default configurations across the full infrastructure stack.
Collaborate across teams. Partner with software and robotics engineers to translate infrastructure requirements into durable solutions that unblock core engineering work.
Design, provision, and maintain on-prem server infrastructure and cloud environments (primarily Google Cloud), ensuring high availability, performance, and cost efficiency across both.

5+ years of experience in DevOps or infrastructure engineering, with demonstrated contributions of both on-prem and cloud environments in production.
Strong experience with Kubernetes - both cloud-managed (GKE, EKS) and self-hosted - in production environments.
Deep working knowledge of Google Cloud Platform or AWS, including compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and cost management.
Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Packer) applied across heterogeneous environments.
Experience with observability platforms - building dashboards, defining alerts, and driving incident response across distributed infrastructure.
Demonstrated knowledge of security fundamentals: secrets management, RBAC, service account governance, and network security practices.
Solid experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., BuildKite, GitLab CI) and build artifact management (e.g., Artifactory, Nexus).
Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and communicate infrastructure concepts clearly to non-infrastructure stakeholders.
Proficiency in one or more scripting or systems languages: Python, Go, Bash, Rust, or C++.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Required
Hands-on experience provisioning and managing bare-metal server infrastructure (e.g., metal-kubed, MAAS, Digital Rebar, or similar) at scale.

Domain Expertise.
Direct experience with robotics-specific infrastructure challenges, such as high-throughput telemetry ingestion, large-scale simulation pipelines, or managing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments.
Infrastructure Modernization.
Systems Observability.
This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting.
