Our cutting-edge software platform expands manufacturing capacity 30% by reducing errors 90%+ and automating quality control and inspection processes. We're looking for a talented senior development operations engineer to join our mission and make a real impact.\nPosition Overview\nWe're seeking an experienced senior development operations (DevOps) engineer to own the build, test, and deployment pipeline for our distributed computer vision platform running at edge sites across customer manufacturing floors. This is a full-time remote position working directly with our engineering team to harden our release process, drive deployment automation, and pioneer LLM-driven test generation and validation at Rapta.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn and evolve the end-to-end release pipeline — branching strategy, build orchestration, artifact promotion, and rollback — across our Bazel monorepo and Python deployable units\nDesign and maintain Ansible-driven fleet automation for heterogeneous Linux edge nodes (Ubuntu LTS, NVIDIA driver stacks, Docker with NVIDIA runtime)\nManage all update tooling, currently written in Golang\nBuild LLM-powered automated testing systems: test generation from specs, flake triage, log/failure analysis, regression diffing, and release-note synthesis from commit and ticket history\nHarden CI/CD for offline and bandwidth-constrained deployment targets (airgap wheel distribution, signed artifacts, deterministic builds)\nDrive observability for releases — deployment telemetry, version drift detection, and post-deploy health validation across the fleet\nMentor engineers on release hygiene, reproducible builds, and infrastructure-as-code practices\nWhat We're Looking For\n10+ years of professional experience in release engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles shipping production Linux systems\nDeep curiosity for software, infrastructure, and applied AI — particularly using LLMs as production engineering tools, not just chat assistants\nExpert-level Python (3.8+) with a strong grasp of packaging, dependency resolution, and PEP 440 versioning discipline\nDemonstrated ownership of Linux fleets at scale — kernel, systemd, networking, package management\nExcellence in technical communication, runbook authorship, and post-incident documentation\nStrong systems thinking — comfortable reasoning about failure modes across hardware, OS, container, and application layers\nRequired Technical Skills\nExpert proficiency with Ansible (roles, dynamic inventory, idempotent design); working knowledge of Terraform\nExpert proficiency with Docker, including creation and lifecycle management of containers, image hardening, registry management and installing & configuring the NVIDIA container runtime\nProduction experience with Linux administration: systemd, networking (VLANs, DHCP, DNS), kernel/driver management (especially NVIDIA/DKMS), package and APT internals\nStrong Python skills focused on tooling, automation, packaging (wheels, pip, private indexes), and subprocess/CI integration\nProficiency with Git workflows, branching strategies, and modern CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or equivalent)\nExperience designing and operating automated test infrastructure — unit, integration, hardware-in-the-loop, and end-to-end\nPractical experience using LLMs (Anthropic, OpenAI, or local) as part of engineering workflows — test generation, code review augmentation, log analysis, or agentic tooling\nNice to Have\nBazel or similar monorepo build systems\nEdge or embedded deployment experience\nTailscale, WireGuard, or zero-trust networking in production\ngRPC/protobuf service ecosystems\nVault, PKI, or secrets management at fleet scale\nBackground in regulated or compliance-driven environments (CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2)\nWhy Join Us?\nWork on cutting-edge AI infrastructure with real-world impact on American manufacturing\nBuild the release engineering foundation for a late-seed company actively scaling\nDirect collaboration with the CTO and engineering leadership\nRemote-first culture with flexible hours\nMeaningful equity in a company solving hard problems\nLocation Requirements\nRemote (US)\nEqual Opportunity\nRapta is committed to hiring and retaining a diverse workforce.
