Job description
We are looking for an Infrastructure & Operations Engineer to take operational ownership of our test automation infrastructure. This ownership is firmly focused on stability and reliability, and the role involves significant hands-on software development, primarily in Rust, to continuously improve operability, observability, and automation. You will work as part of a small, highly practical team where building and operating the system go hand in hand., * Operate, maintain, and continuously improve a bare-metal Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test infrastructure
- Deploy and run a Rust-based control plane for reserving and remotely interacting with physical devices
- Actively develop and improve Rust services where needed, especially around reliability, observability, and automation
- Manage NixOS-based systems end-to-end: provisioning, updates, rollbacks
- Integrate and automate hardware control (USB/serial, USB-OTG, power control, HDMI capture, networked devices)
- Leverage existing tracing and metrics to improve monitoring, alerting, and system reliability
Requirements
- Strong Linux systems engineering background with hands-on production responsibility
- Practical experience with Nix and NixOS (or strong motivation to work with it daily)
- Comfortable reading, modifying, and extending Rust services in a production setting
- Strong bias toward building predictable, debuggable, and maintainable systems
- Experience with hardware-adjacent infrastructure beyond “just servers”
- End-to-end mindset: you operate what you build, from metal to API
- Enjoy working in a small team where everyone contributes across ops and development
Benefits & conditions

- Drinks and fruit for free in our Office in Dresden
