Senior Software Systems Engineer
About The Position
Seasats' vehicles run on software that has to reach them reliably, wherever they are. From packaging new capabilities for shipping, to the pipelines that build, version, and deliver them to vehicles at sea, that foundation has to scale as we scale our fleet and our customer base. We're looking for a Senior Software Systems Engineer to build and own that foundation: release engineering, software and vehicle packaging, and the tooling that lets every engineering team at Seasats ship confidently. If you like being the person other engineers rely on to get software and vehicle updates out the door cleanly, this is a great fit.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in infrastructure, DevOps, release engineering, or platform roles, ideally owning delivery and packaging processes at scale
- Strong experience with cloud infrastructure and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)
- Deep understanding of Linux systems internals, packaging formats, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) as deployable units
- Experience building and maintaining delivery pipelines and build/packaging automation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
- Experience with versioning schemes and artifact repositories (semantic versioning, package registries, or similar)
- Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash for automation and tooling
- Demonstrated ability to independently scope and lead infrastructure projects
- Systems-level thinking: comfortable tracing how software, firmware, and hardware components on the vehicle interact, and able to spot where a change in one will ripple into another
- Track record of integrating tools, teams, and third-party systems into a single, cohesive workflow, rather than optimizing any one piece in isolation
- Strong technical communication skills, with the judgment to balance speed, reliability, and cost
Nice To Haves
- Experience supporting robotics, IoT, or other fleets of remote/edge devices
- Familiarity with over-the-air (OTA) update and packaging systems for embedded or edge software
- Experience with GovCloud, ITAR/export-controlled environments, or other regulated infrastructure
- Experience with database administration (PostgreSQL, time-series databases)
- Familiarity with security scanning, compliance automation, and secrets management
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end delivery process for our software and vehicle software: versioning, build artifacts, packaging, and staged rollout
- Define and maintain our delivery pipelines, including build automation, artifact packaging, versioning schemes, and pre-launch qualification
- Implement and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar) to keep build and deployment environments consistent and repeatable
- Build tooling to track rollout health and support rollback and recovery when a deployment doesn't go as planned
- Harden our packaging and delivery processes for security, reliability, and cost efficiency as our fleet and customer base scale
- Act as the integration point between vehicle software, cloud services, and third-party systems, making sure new builds and packages work together end-to-end before they ship
- Support and improve developer experience by streamlining environments, tooling, and workflows for the engineering org
- Support production systems and, at times, active vehicle missions
- Support deployment automation and packaging tooling used across the engineering org
Benefits
- Stock options
- Competitive insurance (including a 99% employer-covered Gold HMO plan or other options)
- 401k matching up to 4% of salary
- Four free lunches per week
- An employee activity fund
- A pet-friendly office
- Unlimited/Flex PTO
