About this role

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that powers Skild AI’s robotics development at scale. You will own the systems that let our engineering teams move fast — from build tooling and CI/CD pipelines to cross-platform hardware-in-the-loop testing infrastructure. This is a foundational role: you will be setting up and scaling critical systems in a company that is growing quickly, working directly alongside machine learning, robotics software, and hardware engineers to keep our development cycles fast and our deployments reliable.

What will you be doing?

Own and scale Bazel/Skylark build infrastructure from scratch, including custom rules, toolchains, and remote caching across a multi-language codebase.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated software and hardware-in-the-loop (SIL/HIL) testing using Jenkins or equivalent.

Develop cross-compilation toolchains and system library packages targeting ARM/aarch64 embedded Linux platforms and integrate them into the build system.

Manage cloud and on-premise infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure) supporting model training, simulation, and deployment.

Maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) and own developer environment tooling to accelerate engineering iteration.

Collaborate with ML, robotics software, and hardware engineers to resolve infrastructure bottlenecks and define tooling roadmaps.
