• 5+ years experience in C++
• 2+ years of professional experience managing a modern C++ build system (Cmake, Bazel, ninja)
• Experience with release automation and configuration management tools
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience

Preferred Success Criteria

• Experience with performance optimization such as identifying and resolving bottlenecks in Linux and AWS, optimizing containers to enable efficient scaling, and lowering costs
• Experience with Sonatype Nexus or similar artifact management systems
• 1+ years experience in Rust
• Experience working with AWS in a production environment

As a Build Software Engineer, you will be part of the Platform Software team. The Platform Software team is responsible for providing the low level embedded software and build infrastructure necessary to enable the development, test, and deployment of our autonomous aircraft software. This infrastructure consists of everything from multi-language build systems, hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testbed configuration, continuous integration pipelines, and cloud-based simulation container deployments. You will drive the optimization of our current infrastructure tooling as well as designing and developing the future of our team's development pipeline. You will help develop and maintain essential tools that enable developers at Reliable Robotics to deliver software products that are safe, successful, and meet certification requirements.
