Senior/Lead DevOps Engineer

Our client is developing Level 4 certifiable autonomous driving systems for public transport—made in Germany. They specialize in legally compliant, explainable AI technology inspired by cognitive neuroscience. Their unique system makes logical, transparent decisions in complex road scenarios without relying on black-box models. Motor AI’s vision is to enable individual, autonomous mobility for everyone, focusing on safety, accessibility, and scalability.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will build and maintain the infrastructure that powers their development, testing, and deployment pipelines—ensuring reliability, scalability, and security at every stage of the autonomous driving stack.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) for continuous integration and delivery of autonomous driving software.
• Manage containerization (Docker, Podman) and orchestration using Kubernetes for scalable, resilient environments.
• Automate infrastructure with tools like Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices.
• Set up and monitor system performance with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or Datadog.
• Manage cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, or GCP for deployment and scaling of services.
• Implement and maintain observability, incident response, and deployment strategies (e.g., Blue/Green, Canary).
• Ensure compliance with DevSecOps principles, including secrets management and system hardening.

Requirements:

• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.
• Proficiency in containerization and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes (K8s).
• Hands-on knowledge of Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet).
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack).
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and Linux server administration.
• Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, YAML) and understanding of Git and GitOps workflows.
• Solid foundation in networking fundamentals (DNS, HTTP, SSL, TCP/IP).
• Experience with DevSecOps, incident management, and deployment strategies for zero downtime.
• Knowledge of RAID storage and load balancing is a plus.

Note: We’re open to candidates with varying levels of experience across cloud providers or orchestration tools if you bring strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn.
