Descrizione del lavoro

Atoms in San Francisco is seeking a foundational Developer Experience Engineer to build scalable developer infrastructure powering our autonomous transport initiative. You will be the first dedicated engineer optimizing developer workflows across our large-scale C++, Python, Go, Rust and embedded firmware codebases.

You will eliminate build friction, prevent dependency hell, and architect secure Over-The-Air (OTA) update mechanisms to safely deploy software to our edge vehicle fleet.

Competenze

• 8+ years of professional experience in Developer Experience, Build Engineering, or Infrastructure, specifically supporting large-scale engineering organizations.
• Strong programming proficiency in Python, C++, Go, or similar, with deep knowledge of modern build systems and package managers (e.g., Bazel, CMake, UV).
• Hands-on experience scaling CI/CD systems, monorepo architectures, and automated testing pipelines for complex codebases.
• Familiarity with embedded systems, firmware builds, or containerized IoT operating systems (such as Balena Linux or Yocto).
• Foundational understanding of designing secure, fail-safe Over-The-Air (OTA) deployment pipelines for edge hardware or robotics.
• Proven ability to reduce build/test cycle times, eliminate flaky tests, and untangle complex dependency graphs.
• Exceptional communication skills and a passion for acting as an empathetic force multiplier for cross-functional software, hardware, and robotics teams.

Mansioni

• CI/CD Infrastructure: Own the build pipelines for Transport's repos: large, multi-language (C++, Python, firmware). Make them fast enough that engineers stop context-switching while they wait.
• Build System Optimization: Cut build times and make builds reproducible. Bazel or similar; you'll own the build graph, caching, and dependency management.
• Firmware & Embedded Integration: Automate building and testing embedded firmware and the vehicle OS (e.g., Balena).
• Over-The-Air (OTA) Deployment: Design and build over-the-air updates for vehicles in the field: staged rollouts, redundancy, and rollback that always works.
• Repository Architecture: Decide how code is organized (monorepo vs. multi-repo), how artifacts are versioned and stored, and how dependencies are tracked, in a way that still holds up when the team is many times bigger.
• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Automation: Wire HIL rigs and simulation into release validation so regressions are caught before code ever reaches a vehicle.
• Developer Observability & Tooling: Track build health, test flakiness, and time-to-deploy. Instill a data-informed culture, so the numbers are visible and the problems actually get fixed.
