About the role

Who We Are

The Role


What You’ll Do

  • Take ownership of the end-to-end deployment and testing lifecycle for our mission-critical device software.
  • Architect, maintain, and scale the tooling that empowers our software and ML engineers to build and test code that delivers high-performance, low-latency AI inference in the field.
  • Engineer resilient CI/CD pipelines to manage OTA updates with total confidence and comprehensive fleet-wide observability.
  • Drive operational excellence through advanced remote monitoring, alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry), and debugging of fleet health metrics like uptime and resource utilization.
  • Partner closely with Device Software and ML teams to eliminate friction and streamline the development experience.


What You Bring

  • 3-5+ years of experience in Embedded Development, DevOps, or SRE—ideally shipping production ML systems within the robotics, autonomous vehicle, or consumer hardware space.
  • Deep technical mastery of embedded Linux, system packaging, and cross-compilation for diverse hardware platforms.
  • A collaborative mindset and a track record of translating complex product requirements into robust technical AI solutions.
  • Extensive experience managing large-scale edge fleets, including over-the-air (OTA) updates and blue-green deployment patterns.
  • A history of building internal developer tools and CLI applications that automate away complexity and amplify team productivity.
  • Startup DNA: the ability to identify pain points, communicate with stakeholders, and drive projects from initial RFC to full deployment.


Nice to Have

  • Experience architecting simulation pipelines, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments, and system-level testing frameworks.
  • Deep expertise across the stack for optimizing deployments to edge targets like NVIDIA Jetson or custom ARM SoCs.
  • Prior experience navigating the unique challenges of early-stage startups or fast-paced hardware manufacturing environments.


  • We celebrate as a team and troubleshoot as a team.
  • The goal is the mission, not the credit.
  • Be ruthless with problems, but kind to people.
  • Raise the bar, lower the shield
  • Your perspective is a requirement, not a suggestion.
  • Speak the hard truths early so we can fix them fast.
  • Do what you say you’ll do.
  • If it breaks, fix it. If it works, make it better.
  • Earn trust through empathy and consistency.
  • Anticipate needs before they become requests.
