Job description

We're looking for a Platform Engineer to join the Avular Team!

At Avular, we are looking for a hands-on and pragmatic Platform Engineer to strengthen our software organisation. Here you will own the "software factory" behind our robots: the CI/CD pipelines, self-hosted build runners, package registries and supply-chain tooling that our ~30 software engineers rely on every day. In this role, you will keep our builds green, our releases reproducible, and our dependencies secure. So, you will become the person who makes sure our engineers can ship robotics software quickly, reliably and safely.

As part of the team, you will be contributing mainly to the reliability and efficiency of our development platform everything between a developer's commit and a shipped, traceable artefact. You understand that good documentation and sensible automation are part of the job, and your Definition of Done includes both.

Managing and monitoring our self-hosted CI runners and keeping our GitHub Actions pipelines healthy is the core of the role

Keeping nightly builds green: investigating, triaging and escalating build failures and regressions

Improving build times, pipeline reliability and the performance of our toolchain, including cross-compilation for our embedded/robotics targets (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson)

Watching build health, PR ageing, and pipeline metrics and chasing down stale PRs and broken builds before they slow the team down

Automating repetitive developer and release tasks so engineers can focus on building robots

Running our package registries and artefact hosting, and keeping releases versioned and reproducible

Owning SBOM generation and storage, CVE monitoring and dependency/vulnerability scanning across our software supply chain

Supporting our compliance efforts around the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)

Maintaining the Linux servers and internal developer services behind all of the above, including availability, backups, upgrades, documentation and standards

You have a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a comparable field, or equivalent experience

Up to 7-10 years of experience in a platform, build & release, DevOps or developer-productivity type role

A strong foundation in Linux administration (Ubuntu); this is where our infrastructure lives

Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and build pipelines (GitHub Actions is a plus)

Comfortable with scripting and automation (Bash, YAML, Python or PowerShell)

Familiarity with package registries and artefact management

An eye for software supply-chain security: SBOMs, CVE monitoring, dependency scanning

A proactive, ownership mindset: you like chasing problems down rather than waiting for a ticket

Good proficiency in both spoken and written English (our team is partly international); Dutch is a plus

Bonus: experience with C++ and/or ROS software, or affinity with embedded / robotics toolchains

Bonus: experience with containers (Docker) and virtualisation (Proxmox)

Bonus: affinity with compliance or security frameworks (CRA, NIS2, ISO 27001)

Bonus: experience with the following tools: Git, Jira, Confluence

At Avular, work meets play in the best possible way. We’re shaping the future of robotics, and we want you along for the ride. Here’s what’s waiting for you:

Grow & Shine: Bring your vision and grow your career in a fast-paced, high-tech environment
