Staff Infrastructure/DevOps Engineer

• Build and maintain ETL pipelines for ingestion, aggregation, and presentation of data from our fleet of live autonomous trucks, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.
• Design and implement solutions for upgrading and deploying on-board vehicle infrastructure and AV stack software to production vehicles with minimal downtime.
• Collaborate with autonomy and platform teams to deliver scalable CI pipelines that automate the development, testing, and release of AV software.
• Implement infrastructure-as-code solutions (e.g., Terraform) to manage setup and teardown of environments supporting operations at customer-facing sites.
• Work with operations teams to coordinate and execute deployments to new customer sites.
• Develop and manage scalable deployment of in-house simulation software, integrating scenario-based simulation testing into CI pipelines to validate AV software before release.

• 7+ years of experience in a similar infrastructure engineering role.
• Proficiency with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and related tools (e.g., Docker Compose, Kaniko).
• Experience deploying to Kubernetes and managing packages via Helm.
• Knowledge of relational and time-series databases (e.g., Postgres, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB).
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Argo, Airflow).
• Proven track record managing upgrades and rollbacks of customer-facing SaaS environments.
• Scripting expertise in Python and Bash.
• Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible).
• Working knowledge of CI/CD solutions such as GitLab CI or Jenkins is a plus.

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy.  By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
