Infrastructure & Release Engineer

Sunday Robotics; Redwood City (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Sunday Robotics is building a future where home robots reduce repetitive tasks and give people more free time. The Infrastructure & Release Engineer will own the path to production, shaping automated pipelines and guardrails to confidently ship software to a global robotic fleet.

You will architect release orchestration, design automated security pipelines, and enable AI-native validation to ensure high-quality releases while maintaining strong security and scalable developer velocity.

Qualifications

• Deep background in CI/CD, build systems, and release engineering for multi-language stacks.
• Knowledge of Linux-based edge device hardening and encryption.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, or Ansible.

Responsibilities

• Release Orchestration: design and scale build systems to support multi-modal testing and automated validation.
• Automated Security Pipelines: implement CI/CD workflows for hardware-level security including TPM provisioning and secure boot image signing.
• AI-Native Validation: build and monitor testing systems using AI agents for vulnerability detection and regression testing.
• Developer Velocity: reduce friction in the engineering lifecycle and build shared infrastructure for rapid, safe iteration.

Job description

Join Us in Building the Future of Home Robotics

At Sunday, we’re developing personal robots to reclaim the hours lost to repetitive tasks. We’re focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.

We have spent the last 18 months building a talented team, securing capital, and validating our technology. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join us in the next phase of our growth.

What to Expect

As an Infrastructure & Release Engineer, you own the “Path to Production.” Your mission is to build the automated pipelines and secure guardrails that allow our team to ship high-quality code to a global fleet of robots with total confidence. You architect the systems that ensure every release is validated, every binary is signed, and every robot is provisioned with a hardware root of trust.

What You’ll Do

• Release Orchestration : Architect and scale our build systems (e.g., Bazel, GitHub Actions, Buildkite) to handle complex, multi-modal testing and automated validation for our general software and robotics stacks.

• Automated Security Pipelines : Engineer the CI/CD workflows for hardware-level security, including automated TPM provisioning, secure boot image signing, and at-rest encryption configurations.

• AI-Native Validation : Proactively design and monitor testing systems that leverage AI agents for automated vulnerability detection, regression testing, and release auditing.

• Developer Velocity : Identify friction in the engineering lifecycle and build the shared infrastructure that allows the team to iterate rapidly at scale without compromising on safety.

What You’ll Bring

• Pipeline Expertise : A deep background in modern CI/CD, build systems, and release engineering for complex, multi-language software stacks.

• Systems Security Knowledge : Understanding of Linux-based edge device hardening, disk encryption, and the automation of security policies at scale.

• Environment Automation : Proficiency in managing build clusters and release infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes, or Ansible).

Nice to Have

• Experience as a founding or early hire; able to define a release roadmap where no blueprint exists.

• Practical experience (or high curiosity) in using LLM-based agents to automate code reviews, security patch generation, or complex test suites.

• Familiarity with the mechanics of TPMs, Secure Elements, or hardware-based root of trust from an automation perspective.

At Sunday Robotics, we’re building technology shaped by real people — curious, creative, and diverse. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
