We design and manufacture our hardware in-house, which means iteration, fabrication, and execution all happen under one roof.\nOur software doesn't just run in the cloud — it has to deploy reliably across real robots, Jetsons, and internal systems used for testing and demos. Our engineering team works across robotics, embedded systems, and edge infrastructure, and we need strong operational foundations to support fast iteration and reliable releases.\nAbout the Role\nAs a DevOps Engineer at Droyd, you will own the systems that make software deployment reliable across our robots and edge infrastructure. You will build release processes, improve deployment confidence, and create operational tooling that supports both engineering velocity and fleet reliability.\nA central part of this role is dealing with the realities of Jetson-based systems: cross-compilation from x86_64 to aarch64, JetPack quirks, OTA workflows, and the infrastructure needed to keep a distributed hardware fleet working.\nThis role is based on-site in San Francisco, CA.\nIn This Role, You'll\nRelease & Deployment\nBuild and maintain release and deployment pipelines for robots and edge systems\nOwn operational workflows across local development, Jetson devices, and production environments\nImprove deployment confidence, reproducibility, and rollback safety across the fleet\nFleet & Edge Infrastructure\nImprove OTA and fleet management workflows for deployed hardware\nHandle cross-compilation workflows from x86_64 to aarch64 for Jetson-based systems\nWork on the infrastructure behind certs, JWKS, QUIC, and other reliability-critical systems\nProcess & Collaboration\nWork closely with robotics and software teams to standardize release, update, and system management practices\nDrive process improvements in messy real-world systems\nWork Environment & Schedule\nOn-site in San Francisco, CA\nFull-time\nCompensation: $120K–$200K base salary, plus equity\nWe're Looking For Candidates Who\nHave strong DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience\nHave deep Linux and Ubuntu experience\nHave hands-on experience with JetPack and Jetson-based systems\nHave experience with Docker Compose, systemd, fleet management, or OTA workflows\nCan design practical deployment systems for hardware and edge environments\nHave strong technical judgment and can drive process improvements in messy real-world systems\nNice to have:\nExperience with Balena or Balena Etcher\nExperience with embedded Linux or robotics deployments\nExperience supporting cert, auth, or transport infrastructure in production systems\nAbout Droyd\nDroyd builds autonomous robotic systems that operate in real production environments.
