Senior Platform Engineer - Infrastructure

Gravis Robotics is a high-growth ETH Zurich spin-off that turns heavy construction machines into autonomous robots. Our unique combination of learning-based automation and augmented remote control lets one operator safely conduct a fleet of earthmoving machines in a gamified environment. Backed by deep robotics research and now deployed across multiple countries with leading construction and equipment partners, our team is rapidly growing to bring this technology to a trillion-dollar industry. About the Job At Gravis, we build high tech systems that give machine operators super human capabilities. To adapt in real time to changes in the environment the Gravis Rack fuses data from LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, and hydraulics into an autonomous control system. As our engineering team grows we need world-class infrastructure to support the full development lifecycle of these systems: from developer tooling to continuous integration, testing, and deployment at scale. As a senior engineer focused on infrastructure, you will drive the requirements gathering, development, rollout, and operation of that infrastructure. The systems you build and operate power every line of code, commit, and production deployment at Gravis. You will work at the intersection of our Platform, Autonomy, Perception, and Interface teams to enable high velocity and high quality developer workflows, while ensuring the continuous, safe deployment of software to a fleet of 20-ton robots all across the world.

We still want to hear from you. These are nice-to-haves, not dealbreakers: Experience (professional or in the setting of an open source community) working with Nix/NixOS/Nixpkgs Experience with Robotics & DevOps related tooling (e.g. Foxglove) Don't meet every requirement? If you're enthusiastic about this role but your experience doesn't match every qualification listed, we still encourage you to apply. You might be the right person for this or another role on our team. This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, multidisciplinary team — and to be part of a young startup that is reshaping heavy construction.
