Personio; München; Vor Ort; EUR 90.000 - 140.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Autonomous Teaming is seeking a Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer to own and evolve the CI/CD and build infrastructure across multiple stacks. You will design pipelines, optimize builds, and ensure reliable workflows from local development through deployment.

You will collaborate with software, robotics, AI/ML, QA and security engineers to remove friction in the engineering lifecycle, improve performance and reproducibility, and implement robust practices around secrets, testing, and

Qualifikationen

• Proven experience owning production CI/CD and build infrastructure.
• Experience designing or rebuilding CI/CD systems, not just maintaining pipelines.
• Strong Linux, Git, Python and/or Bash experience.
• Solid Docker experience and reproducible environments.
• Experience with major CI platforms (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, or equivalent).
• Experience debugging build and deployment failures across multiple systems.
• Able to make architectural trade-offs and defend technical decisions.
• Experience with C++ and compiled environments preferred.

Aufgaben

• Own the architecture and evolution of CI/CD and build infrastructure.
• Design and build pipelines and release workflows from scratch where needed.
• Make technical decisions on caching, parallelization, artefacts, dependency management, environment promotion, and release automation.
• Improve build performance, reproducibility, reliability, and developer feedback times.
• Build and standardise reproducible developer and test environments.
• Work with build systems such as Bazel and/or CMake across C++, Python, and other stacks.
• Develop internal tooling and automation in Python and Bash.
• Debug complex build, integration, infrastructure, and deployment failures across the full system.
• Support software delivery to cloud, on-premise, and embedded/edge environments.
• Establish robust CI practices around secrets, quality gates, testing, observability, and release integrity.
• Collaborate with software, robotics, AI/ML, QA, and security engineers to remove friction from the lifecycle.

Jobbeschreibung

Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer (m/f/d) — CI/CD, Build Systems & Developer Environments

Full-time

What we offer

• Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
• Take real technical ownership in an expanding and ambitious engineering organization
• Build the engineering infrastructure behind products in AI, robotics, and autonomy
• Work on technically challenging build, deployment, and developer-platform problems
• Enjoy a collaborative environment with significant freedom to shape how we build and ship software

Your mission

Own and evolve the engineering platform that our software teams depend on to build, test, integrate, and release reliably. We are looking for someone who has built CI/CD and developer infrastructure — not only used or maintained existing pipelines.

You will make architectural decisions, identify bottlenecks, design solutions from first principles, and take responsibility for the reliability of the development and release workflow from local development through CI/CD to deployment.

You will:

• Own the architecture and technical evolution of our CI/CD and build infrastructure
• Design and build pipelines and release workflows from scratch where needed
• Make technical decisions around caching, parallelization, artefacts, dependency management, environment promotion, and release automation
• Improve build performance, reproducibility, reliability, and developer feedback times
• Build and standardise reproducible developer and test environments
• Work with build systems such as Bazel and/or CMake across C++, Python, and other software stacks
• Develop internal tooling and automation in Python and Bash
• Debug complex build, integration, infrastructure, and deployment failures across the full system
• Support software delivery to cloud, on-premise, and embedded/edge environments
• Establish robust CI practices around secrets, quality gates, testing, observability, and release integrity
• Work directly with software, robotics, AI/ML, QA, and security engineers to remove friction from the engineering lifecycle

Your profile

• Proven experience owning production CI/CD, build infrastructure, developer platforms, or release engineering
• Evidence that you have designed or significantly rebuilt CI/CD systems, rather than only maintaining pipelines created by others
• Strong Linux, Git, Python and/or Bash experience
• Solid Docker experience and practical understanding of reproducible environments
• Experience with at least one major CI platform such as GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, or equivalent
• Experience debugging difficult build and deployment failures across multiple systems
• Comfortable making architectural trade-offs and defending technical decisions
• Experience working with compiled software environments, ideally including C++
• Able to operate independently and take a problem from unclear requirements to a reliable production solution

Nice to have

• Bazel or CMake ownership in a substantial codebase or monorepository
• Yocto or embedded Linux build systems
• Cross-compilation and embedded/edge deployment
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, Ansible, Nix, or similar
• CI/CD for C++ and hardware-connected products
• Pipeline optimization at scale
• Release engineering, artefact management, environment promotion, and deployment strategies
• Experience supporting robotics, automotive, aerospace, or other complex hardware/software products

What else

• Outside-the-box creativity with a blend of conceptual and systematic design thinking.
• High intrinsic motivation, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving mindset.
• Structured, methodical, and reliable execution, even under uncertainty.
• Humble, collaborative, and mission-driven — values collective success over ego.
• High ethical standards and disciplined work ethic.
• NATO-aligned nationality or close ally citizenship is required.

About us

The world is changing. Exponential technologies are enabling new types of security threats. ATS is committed to staying ahead by building nimble, scalable, and cost-effective defences. We are looking for passionate team members who are eager to create exceptional products, safeguard our freedom, and strengthen the resilience of democracies.

Who we are: Autonomous Teaming is a defence-tech start‑up specializing in machine vision solutions. Driven by cutting‑edge innovation, our team works on next‑generation technologies designed to meet rapidly evolving security challenges.

What we do: We develop systems that enable computers and sensors to operate as coordinated teams, collaborating in real time to counter AI‑powered asymmetric threats at scale — including drone swarms and other UXVs. Our mission is to build resilient, intelligent defence capabilities that perform reliably in the most demanding environments.

How we work: We value close, in‑person collaboration as the foundation for building complex, high‑impact technology, while maintaining flexibility aligned to role and team needs. Our culture is built on ownership, responsibility, and trust — with a shared commitment to growing and building together.

Where we are: Based in Munich, Berlin, and Toulouse, we are expanding rapidly across Europe with plans to open additional office hubs.
