The Role
Lead design, rollout, and operation of platform infrastructure enabling CI/CD, image building, secure OTA updates, and provisioning for embedded Linux fleets.

Summary Generated by Built In

Gravis Robotics is a high-growth ETH Zurich spin-off that turns heavy construction machines into autonomous robots. Our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control lets one operator safely conduct a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified environment. Backed by deep robotics research and now deployed across multiple countries with leading construction and equipment partners, our team is rapidly growing to bring this technology to a trillion-dollar industry.

About the Job

    At Gravis, we build high tech systems that give machine operators super human capabilities. To adapt in real time to changes in the environment the Gravis Rack fuses data from LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, and hydraulics into an autonomous control system. As our engineering team grows we need world-class infrastructure to support the full development lifecycle of these systems: from developer tooling to continuous integration, testing, and deployment at scale.

    As a senior engineer focused on infrastructure, you will drive the requirements gathering, development, rollout, and operation of that infrastructure. The systems you build and operate power every line of code, commit, and production deployment at Gravis. You will work at the intersection of our Platform, Autonomy, Perception, and Interface teams to enable high velocity and high quality developer workflows, while ensuring the continuous, safe deployment of software to a fleet of 20-ton robots all across the world.

What you'll do

  • Shape our build, deployment, and CI/CD roadmaps to get software into the field faster and more safely

  • Own the image building and release process for our embedded Linux systems, including secure over the air updates and safe rollback to the fleet

  • Build Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) to provision and configure development, test, and production environments

  • Collaborate closely with Autonomy and Perception engineers to understand requirements and translate them into reliable, scalable development environments for maximum development efficiency and velocity

  • Set standards for how software is built and shipped at Gravis

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

  • 7+ years of hands on experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or DevOps, including ownership of systems used daily by other engineers

  • Strong Software Engineering skills and solid experience with related tooling

  • Experience with enterprise build and deployment systems, and with image building infrastructure for embedded Linux systems is a must for this role 

  • Proven experience building and managing CI pipelines for build, test, and ML workloads

  • Direct experience with IoT device management, telemetry, and secure over the air (OTA) update mechanisms

  • Proven experience with infrastructure as code and software provisioning (e.g. Ansible, Terraform)

  • Familiarity with modern DevOps and CI/CD practices tailored for embedded deployments

Bonus qualifications

    Don't meet every requirement? We still want to hear from you. These are nice-to-haves, not dealbreakers:

  • Experience (professional or in the setting of an open source community) working with Nix/NixOS/Nixpkgs

  • Experience with Robotics & DevOps related tooling (e.g. Foxglove)

Don't meet every requirement? If you're enthusiastic about this role but your experience doesn't match every qualification listed, we still encourage you to apply. You might be the right person for this or another role on our team.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, multidisciplinary team — and to be part of a young startup that is reshaping heavy construction.

We understand that work-life balance and flexibility are important considerations for many professionals. If you are a strong match, we encourage you to apply and discuss your preferred working arrangement during the interview process.
