DevOps - Continuous Integration

ABOUT US Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces. Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected. About the role Harmattan AI is developing advanced autonomous drone systems and payloads for defense applications. As the company scales fast and our software codebase grows even faster, we need a DevOps engineer to improve developer productivity and keep software quality at a high level. Working across all of our software teams, you will own the continuous integration infrastructure that lets our engineers ship reliable code at pace. Responsibilities - Continuous Integration: Design, build, and maintain the CI/CD pipelines that compile, test, and deliver our software. - Visibility & Alerting: Build feedback tools, such as dashboards and notification/alert systems, that surface build, test, and pipeline status to the right people at the right time. - Solution Definition: Gather needs from the software, validation, GNC, and perception teams and turn them into practical tooling solutions. - Cross-Functional Collaboration. Work closely with software developers across every team, as well as IT, validation, and the GNC, ML, and perception teams, to understand their workflows and remove friction. - AI in the Pipeline:Integrate and deploy AI agents within the CI. - Developer Productivity & Quality:Track the overall health of the development workflow, and spot bottlenecks and quality issues. - Documentation & Standards: Document the tooling you build and help standardize development best practices across teams. Candidate requirements - GitHub & CI/CD: Proficiency with GitHub and GitHub Actions, including writing and maintaining workflows in the Actions YAML syntax to automate builds and tests. - Multi-repo workspaces: Comfortable working across projects split into several repositories. - Technical proficiency: Confident writing automation in Bash and Python, and comfortable working in a Linux environment with Docker. - Build systems: Solid hands-on experience with build systems such as CMake, and the ability to debug and maintain build configurations. - Domain experience: A background in robotics or embedded systems, so you understand the constraints of the software we build. - Educational background: MSc or BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a similar technical field; equivalent professional experience is equally valued. Nice to have - Experience setting up automated test benches and/or functional testing frameworks. - C++ development experience. - Experience with a cloud platform such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP). - Familiarity with agentic coding tools and their advanced configuration. Mindset - Service-oriented: You treat developers across every team as your users, listening to their workflows and building tooling that removes their friction. - Strong communicator & collaborator: You gather needs, explain trade-offs, and align many teams around shared standards. - Pragmatic owner: You prioritize what matters most for the whole organization, ship incrementally, and take ownership of the reliability everyone depends on. We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
