Our team is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join us and take ownership of the CI/CD infrastructure, automation pipelines, and development tooling that power our engineering teams. This position plays a key role in enabling fast, reliable, and scalable software delivery — from code commit to test execution and reporting. You will be the go-to expert for DevOps practices, collaborating closely with software engineers, validation teams, and infrastructure stakeholders across the organization. 

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for software and validation projects, ensuring fast, stable, and automated delivery workflows 

  • Own and evolve the DevOps infrastructure — including build systems, artifact management, deployment automation, and environment provisioning 

  • Develop and maintain automation tools, scripts, and integrations that streamline developer workflows and reduce manual overhead 

  • Collaborate with validation, infrastructure, and software engineering teams to define and enforce DevOps best practices across the organization 

  • Monitor system health, pipeline reliability, and build performance; identify bottlenecks and continuously improve observability and stability 

  • Manage containerization and orchestration solutions (Docker, Kubernetes) for test environments and internal services 

  • Support the integration of automated testing frameworks into CI/CD flows, ensuring test coverage and results are tracked and visible

  • Evaluate and introduce new DevOps tooling and methodologies to keep the team at the forefront of engineering efficiency 

What We Need to See:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field 

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or software infrastructure roles 

  • Strong proficiency in CI/CD tools with hands-on experience in GitLab CI/CD pipelines; familiarity with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent is a plus 

  • Experience with containerization and orchestration — Docker, Kubernetes 

  • Solid scripting and automation skills — Python, Bash, and/or similar 

  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) 

  • Deep familiarity with Linux environments and system administration 

  • Experience with version control systems (Git) and branching strategies 

  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and root-cause analysis skills 

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Experience building and scaling DevOps infrastructure for hardware validation or embedded systems environments 

  • Background working with test execution frameworks and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines 

  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or similar) 

  • Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) or on-premise HPC environments 

  • Experience integrating AI/ML workflows and AI agent pipelines into CI/CD flows, including model versioning, automated testing, and deployment automation for AI-driven systems

Questions you could be asked

  1. How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
  2. Tell me about a project where ci/cd was part of your work. What did you do?
  3. Tell me about a project where devops was part of your work. What did you do?
  4. Tell me about a project where automation was part of your work. What did you do?
  5. Tell me about a project where infrastructure as code was part of your work. What did you do?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: AI agents, CI/CD, DevOps, Automation, and Infrastructure As Code. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
