Senior CI/CD Engineer - Gitlab & Robot Software Pipelines (Human)

About the role

\n\nYour Mission & Challenges As Senior CI/CD Engineer, you make sure every NEURA team can go from commit to a tested, signed, releasable build – whether it's a cloud service, an AI model or the software running on our robots. You build the reusable pipeline components, and you sit with teams to get their pipelines right. • Build the CI/CD catalog: Design, build and maintain reusable GitLab CI/CD components and templates (build, test, scan, package, release) that teams adopt instead of copy-pasting YAML. • Master robot software pipelines: Build fast, reproducible pipelines for C++ and ROS 2 code bases. From CMake, Conan, compiler caching to cross-compilation for ARM and embedded targets. • Package and release: Automate Debian packaging, multi-architecture Docker images and semantic versioning, through to release coordination for our robot products. • Test where it matters: Integrate unit, integration and hardware-in-the-loop tests on real robots and in simulation into the pipeline. • Run the runner fleet: Operate and scale our GitLab runners on Kubernetes and AWS providing x86 and arm64, GPU, smart caching all considering cost awareness. • Secure the supply chain: Make vulnerability scanning, SBOM generation, artifact signing and secret-free cloud access part of every standard pipeline. • Enable the teams: Act as consultant and sparring partner for robotics, AI and cloud teams, review their pipelines, pair on improvements and help them own build and run themselves. • Connect build to delivery: Hand off artifacts cleanly to artifact registries (JFrog Artifactory, Harbor, EKS etc.) and to our over-the-air delivery via Neuraverse and GitOps-based deployments. What We Can Look Forward To • Proven experience: 5+ years in CI/CD, DevOps or build/release engineering, ideally in an embedded, robotics or automotive environment. • GitLab expertise: Deep, hands-on GitLab CI/CD knowledge – components and catalogs, parent-child and multi-project pipelines, rules and runner administration. • Native build know-how: Strong experience with C++ build systems (CMake, Conan or similar) and Linux packaging; ROS/ROS 2 experience is a strong plus. • Containers and Kubernetes: Docker (multi-stage, multi-arch builds) and Kubernetes; AWS experience is valued. • Scripting: Strong Bash skills, IaC with tools like Terraform – automate everything! • Security mindset: Familiarity with supply-chain security, artifact management and OIDC-based authentication. • Enablement mindset: You enjoy helping other engineers get better at build and run, rather than doing it for them. • Communication: You explain trade-offs clearly to robotics, AI and cloud engineers alike. Professional English required; German a plus.
