As a Platform DevOps Engineer, you will be a key technical contributor to the platform connectivity and foundational infrastructure for our cutting-edge drone detection, tracking, and mitigation solutions. Your primary objective is to ensure seamless system functionality and reliability. You will take a hands-on approach to configuring, managing, and troubleshooting complex, multi-disciplinary systems, enabling a rapid response to emerging drone technologies.

Acting as a vital technical bridge between Software, Hardware, Algorithms, and QA engineering, this role requires a highly analytical mindset. Relying on your Linux expertise, networking knowledge, and strong Python/Bash scripting skills, you will diagnose system bottlenecks, harmonize disparate components, and resolve critical issues during the development and deployment phases.

Key Responsibilities:

Hands-On Interoperability: Take ownership of connecting and harmonizing multi-disciplinary systems (SW, HW, Algorithms), ensuring they operate seamlessly in real-world scenarios.

Advanced Troubleshooting: Act as the first line of defense for complex system-level issues. Diagnose and resolve communication, networking, and OS-level bottlenecks to keep development and deployment moving.

Linux Administration: Administer, harden, and optimize our standalone systems, acting as the team's go-to expert for OS-level configurations.

Automation & Scripting: Write clean, reliable Python and Bash scripts to automate provisioning,configuration, diagnostic testing, and system setups.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with developers,automation and manual QA engineers and other teams to bridge technical gaps, reproduce bugs, and solve problems on the spot.

Requirements:

Experience: 3 years of hands-on experience in Linux system administration, platform engineering, or technical operations within a complex, multi-disciplinary environment.

Relentless Problem Solver: Exceptional ability to jump into unfamiliar systems, trace issues to their root cause, and independently implement robust fixes.

Linux Mastery: Extensive, hands-on experience administering, configuring, and troubleshooting Linux operating systems (specifically Ubuntu), including file systems, permissions, and process management.

Networking Expertise: Deep practical knowledge of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, UDP, routing, firewalls) and hands-on experience with network analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark, tcpdump).

Scripting Proficiency: Strong coding skills in Python and Bash for system automation, log analysis, and diagnostics.

Containerization: Practical experience deploying and troubleshooting Docker containers.

Version Control & Tooling: Proficiency with Git and familiarity with navigating/troubleshooting basic CI/CD pipelines.

Soft Skills: Outstanding team player with a "roll up your sleeves" attitude, a high sense of urgency, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Advantages:

Experience setting up and using system monitoring tools to discover and track system bottlenecks and bugs

Background in RF, radar, or embedded hardware systems.

Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Familiarity with cybersecurity or defense tech industries.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
