About the role

Build & release engineering role focused on delivering edge-deployed autonomy and vision software. Owns the pipeline from C++ development to reproducible builds, artefacts, environment promotion, and deployable releases for edge environments.

Responsibilities

  • Own C++ build and release workflows for autonomy and vision products, from source → build → test → package → release.
  • Support and evolve containerised CI/CD pipelines across multiple isolated environments (speed, determinism, promotion, repeatability).
  • Build and maintain container images for edge deployment
  • Manage JFrog/Artifactory repositories for multi-language and generic artefacts; improve versioning, retention, and promotion practices.
  • Strengthen dependency and build reproducibility for C++, reducing “works on my machine” and pipeline flakiness.
  • Validate and deploy autonomy and vision-system products, tools, and libraries—focusing on edge delivery and reliability.
  • Collaborate with engineers and system admins to ensure integration and stability across real deployment environments.
  • Tackle complex, meaningful problems that directly support mission outcomes.

Qualifications

  • Strong, hands-on experience delivering modern C++ software in production (not just “supporting” it).
  • Demonstrated ownership of build systems / toolchains / dependency management (e.g., Conan, CMake, Nix, Ninja, Artifactory).
  • Significant recent experience running CI/CD for compiled software and maintaining the surrounding engineering systems (pipelines, runners/agents, artefact stores, promotion gates).
  • Significant recent experience in Docker / Podman and containerised workflows
  • Strong understanding of Linux/Unix systems.
  • Experience debugging and troubleshooting.
  • Background in air-gapped or isolated DevOps environments (or similarly constrained delivery contexts).
  • Experience supporting Python deployment/distribution (for tooling around the C++ core).
