Software Engineer, DevOps/Infra
About The Position
As a Software Engineer focused on DevOps and Infrastructure, you will own the systems and pipelines that enable our software and firmware teams to build, test, and deploy quickly and safely. You’ll stand up and maintain cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, and build infrastructure that supports everything from operator-facing applications to firmware running on our fusion machines. You’ll help establish best practices in Git workflows, release mechanisms, containerization, and infrastructure automation. By working closely with software engineers, you’ll ensure development environments and production services are reliable, scalable, and aligned with corporate IS&T security requirements. You’ll also own critical infrastructure tools like Portainer and alerting systems, helping the team catch and resolve issues before they become blockers. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience—someone who can keep our systems reliable while accelerating the pace of software delivery.
Requirements
- Strong experience with Linux system administration and shell scripting.
- Proficiency in containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

- Experience with paging/on-call systems (PagerDuty, OpsGenie).
- Background in software/firmware deployment pipelines and artifact management.
- Knowledge of networking fundamentals (VLANs, load balancers, reverse proxies).
- Experience with scaling CI/CD for hardware-software co-development environments.
- Exposure to compliance/security practices for production infrastructure.
