You take pride in the reliability and scalability of the systems you build, and you understand that great DevOps is an enabler for every other engineer on the team. Specifically, you have: * 5+ years of industry experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability engineering, with demonstrated ownership of production infrastructure. * Proficiency with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar-including pipeline design, secrets management, and artifact management. * Strong experience with containerization using Docker and Docker Compose-building, deploying, and managing containers across on-premise environments. * Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent) managing on-premise servers and networked systems. * Solid scripting and automation skills in Python and/or Bash. * Experience administering Linux systems in a production environment-server provisioning, hardening, storage, and maintenance. * Familiarity with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or similar). * Experience supporting embedded or robotics systems, edge deployments, or industrial environments is a strong plus. * Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, and local area network administration. * Strong communication skills and a bias toward documentation-you leave things better than you found them. * Ability to work in-person at Molg HQ in Sterling, VA. ## Description Join a talented cross-functional team of software, robotics, and hardware engineers to build and own the infrastructure, tooling, and deployment systems that power Molg's robotic microfactories and software platforms. As a DevOps Engineer, you will: * Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support rapid, reliable deployment of software across robotics, embedded, and on-premise systems. * Collaborate with software and robotics engineers to containerize workloads using Docker/Orbstack, ensuring consistent environments from development through production across local and factory-floor deployments. * Develop and maintain automated build, test, and release pipelines-integrating hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) test stages for robotics system validation. * Establish robust monitoring, alerting, and observability across Molg's fleet of deployed robotic systems and on-premise infrastructure. * Partner with QA and engineering teams to define quality gates in CI/CD pipelines and ensure regressions are caught before reaching production. * Manage and improve developer tooling, local dev environments, and internal platform services to maximize engineering velocity. * Drive security best practices across infrastructure-secrets management, access control, vulnerability scanning, and network security for on-premise systems. * Administer and maintain local networking infrastructure including switches, VLANs, firewalls, and machine-to-machine communication across the factory floor. * Respond to and resolve infrastructure incidents, conduct post-mortems, and implement lasting fixes. * Contribute to a culture of automation-if something is done manually more than twice, help build the system that makes it automatic. You'll have the opportunity to build alongside an incredible team, develop innovative solutions, and grow in a fast-paced environment that values autonomy and impact. ## Related Videos - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [Demystifying DevOps—Pros, cons, dos & don'ts](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/338-demystifying-devops-pros-cons-dos-don-ts) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 162: AI careers, MCP, AWS best practices & floppy sweaters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/571-dev-digest-162-ai-careers-mcp-aws-best-practices-floppy-sweaters) - [Dev Digest 191: Malware interviews, EU ❤️ Open Source and Skilled Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/645-dev-digest-191-malware-interviews-eu-open-source-and-skilled-agents)
