DevOps Engineer

Description

AITAN builds a multi-drone control platform used in dynamic, high-risk environments.

Our systems do not live primarily in the cloud. They run on drones, NVIDIA Jetson devices, custom hardware, communication systems, and ground stations deployed in the field.

We are looking for an engineer to build the infrastructure that connects development to real-world deployment: device provisioning, Linux images, CI/CD, fleet updates, networking, observability, security and hardware integration.

This is a hands-on edge infrastructure role for someone who enjoys working across software, Linux, networking and physical systems.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for backend services, applications, firmware and edge software
• Build deployment and update systems for devices running at customer sites, in the field, and in disconnected or air-gapped environments
• Develop provisioning, configuration, validation, recovery and fleet-management tooling for deployed edge systems
• Improve the security and resilience of Linux-based devices through secure updates, access controls, encryption, system hardening and operational safeguards
• Operate monitoring, logging, alerting, and diagnostics for safety-critical systems running on physical devices
• Work across Linux networking, VPNs, firewalls, containers, unreliable connectivity, and remote access
• Support video and media systems using technologies such as RTSP, WebRTC, GStreamer and FFmpeg
• Automate how hardware platforms are flashed, configured, tested and integrated
• Work directly with software, hardware, robotics, and field teams to take systems from development to operational deployment
• Build practical internal automation and AI-assisted tools that reduce repetitive engineering and operational work

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, platform engineering, embedded systems or a related role
• Strong Linux systems experience, including services, networking, storage, debugging, image creation and device provisioning
• Strong experience with containers, CI/CD, scripting, automation and configuration management
• Solid networking knowledge, including routing, firewalls, VPNs, DNS and troubleshooting connectivity issues
• Experience operating systems in on-premise, disconnected or air-gapped environments
• Comfortable working hands-on with physical devices, serial consoles, flashing tools, logs and low-level system troubleshooting
• Ability to own projects across development, deployment and production operation

Nice to have

• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi Compute Module or similar edge platforms
• Experience building custom Linux images, BSPs, kernels or device-specific system software
• Background in defense, robotics, drones, autonomous systems or industrial systems
• Familiarity with video pipelines using GStreamer, FFmpeg, RTSP or WebRTC
• Experience with secure boot, disk encryption, signed updates or device identity
• Experience building internal developer platforms, fleet-management tools or operational tooling
