The role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own Developer Experience: CI/CD, build systems, automated testing, static analysis, quality gates and release automation. You will build the pipelines, internal tools and test frameworks that let us ship a quality product faster and with more confidence, on infrastructure designed to scale as the fleet grows. You work closely with the tech teams that build the product.

This is a hands on role in a team that works in sprints. Success is measured in the quality of what reaches our customers: reliable releases onto robots in the field, trustworthy tests and faster builds.

Experience

• 5+ years building and maintaining production software, with ownership of CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and test automation.
• Experience building CI for compiled code such as C and C++: containerized builds, caching and parallel jobs, with an understanding of compilers, toolchains and build systems such as CMake, catkin and colcon.
• Experience with test automation at unit, integration and system level.
• Experience with release and deployment automation.
• Experience shortening developer feedback loops: checks before merge, handling of flaky tests, and test results developers trust.
• Comfortable working close to hardware and collaborating across engineering teams.
• We value a strong systems foundation and the ability to ramp quickly over experience with any specific framework.

Technical skills

• Working knowledge of Linux, including Docker or Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform.
• Experience with AWS. Experience with Azure is a plus.
• Working knowledge of embedded Linux builds. We use custom Yocto images and RAUC for updates. You own the pipeline infrastructure that builds and tests them.
• Test and quality tooling in Git pull requests: test frameworks, sharding, code coverage, linting and static analysis.
• Bonus: experience with testing on target hardware or hardware in the loop.

What you will do

• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines and build systems across the whole stack, from the robot to the cloud, designed to scale across a fleet of several robot types.
• Build the test frameworks and pipelines that run unit, integration, on target and hardware in the loop tests. Teams write their tests; you make them fast and reliable.
• Automate the build and release process across the stack.
• Develop tooling, quality gates, and static analysis that improve code quality without slowing developers down.
• Make builds reproducible and pipelines measurable: build time, failure rate and flaky tests tracked and visible to developers.
• Reduce build times, eliminate flaky tests, and shorten the path from commit to running on a robot.
• Work with developers across the tech teams to find and remove bottlenecks in how we build, test and ship.
• Develop the monorepo conventions, project structure and shared workflows together with the tech teams.

What we are looking for

• You care about the quality of what reaches our customers, and you build tools that make good practice the easy path for every developer.
• Strong engineering judgement and a preference for reusable infrastructure that serves the whole fleet over single purpose pipelines.
• Methodical debugging, a high bar for correctness, and pragmatism about working within an existing stack.
• Strong collaboration across the engineering organisation and clear technical communication in fluent English.

Our tech stack

• Languages: C++, C, Python, Bash, Rust
• Robotics & middleware: ROS 1, ROS 2, CAN bus, MQTT, gRPC
• Simulation & visualization: Gazebo, RViz
• Embedded: Rust, C on the microcontrollers
• OS & build: Linux, custom Yocto builds, RAUC for OTA updates
• Cloud & fleet: AWS, AWS IoT Greengrass, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform
• Build & tooling: CMake, colcon, catkin, ament, Git, Azure DevOps CI/CD, Claude Code

What we offer

• A role where the tools you build are used by every team and on every robot we ship.
• An international team.
• A centrally located office at Skøyen, Oslo, close to public transport.
• Flexible working hours.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and influence over advanced robotics development
