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

Description

Your 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.
