## About the Role

You're an automation focused engineer, building complex linux based systems. This is a rare opportunity to step into the early stages of a groundbreaking product and define workflows from the ground up. If you thrive on solving complex problems and want to see your work make a real impact, this role is for you.

You'll take ownership of building and automating deployment workflows for embedded Linux devices, developing Bash scripts and CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring systems are secure, scalable, and reliable. Working closely with hardware experts, you'll be at the heart of bringing new technologies to life.

You have a strong background in system configuration and automation, coupled with the drive to shape processes where none exist. You can script with Bash or Python, automating where appropriate and have confidence in configuring with Ansible. Experience with Github Actions to streamline releases will be beneficial, and any exposure to embedded devices will allow you to hit the ground running.

If you're passionate about innovation, autonomy, and creating something extraordinary, this is your chance to make a real difference. The team are working hybrid in the North West of the country, spending at least 3 days together in order to bring the company vision to life.
