(Senior) DevOps Engineer - Cloud Infrastructure & CI/CD

We are seeking an experienced DevOps Engineer to design, build, and operate cloud-based infrastructure and CI/CD workflows for our autonomous off-road software platform. The role focuses on AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices that support building, testing, evaluating, and releasing complex software systems.

You will work closely with development teams to design CI/CD and cloud solutions for their challenges. A major part of the role is building and operating cloud-based systems for large-scale software testing and KPI evaluation, alongside more general responsibilities around build, release, and software distribution.

• Design, implement, and operate CI/CD workflows (GitLab CI) covering:

• software build and packaging
• automated testing
• release and distribution of software artifacts

• Design and operate AWS-based infrastructure for CI-driven workloads, batch jobs, and testing environments.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to design DevOps solutions that fit their workflows and technical constraints.
• Develop and operate cloud-based systems for large-scale software testing and scenario-based KPI evaluation, including execution, result collection, monitoring, and access to evaluation data.
• Apply infrastructure-as-code to manage cloud environments in a reproducible and maintainable way.
• Ensure CI/CD and cloud infrastructure is reliable, observable, secure, and cost-aware.
• Support teams with AWS best practices and reusable cloud patterns, while developers retain ownership of software logic, test scenarios, and configuration.

Do you have experience in Terraform?, * 3+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or similar roles.

• Strong hands-on AWS experience, e.g. EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, networking fundamentals.
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines, ideally with GitLab CI.
• Solid understanding of infrastructure-as-code concepts and tooling, e.g. Terraform.
• Experience with software build, test, and release pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deploying and operating containerized workloads.
• Experience running CI-driven or batch cloud workloads (e.g. tests, simulations, data processing).
• Experience with monitoring, metrics collection, and data visualization using Grafana and related tooling (such as Prometheus, CloudWatch dashboards, etc.).
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work closely with developers on shared technical solutions.

• Ownership of your work - Take responsibility for the full value chain
• Competitive Compensation & Benefits
• Participate in driveblocks' success via a Virtual Stock Option Plan
• Flexible working hours

driveblocks develops off-road ground autonomy that works under harsh and challenging conditions. We build systems designed for operation in 3D terrain, vegetation, and heavy dust and dirt, where 100% reliability is core to success, even in GNSS-denied environments. Working with multiple OEM partners across agriculture, construction, and defense, our focus is to deliver value to vehicle operators and solve the toughest challenges when deploying Physical AI in real world applications. Every deployment helps us to gather the operational data required to build the next generation of reliable and safe autonomous driving systems. From our office in Munich, we operate as a focused, highly ambitious team with deep expertise in autonomy, Physical AI, and embedded software engineering. We move quickly and set high standards. If you want to build autonomy that is deployed, tested, and operated in the field - we'd love to hear from you!
