Preferred Qualifications * Experience managing monorepos at scale. * Proficiency in embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot) and its integration with cloud-native deployment patterns. * Experience with secure software supply chain practices: code signing, SBOM generation, and automated vulnerability scanning in pipelines. * Familiarity with IaC (Terraform, Ansible) and public cloud environments (AWS/Azure) to support large-scale microservice deployments. * Background in real-time or safety-critical software release cycles, where firmware/software synchronization is vital to network stability. ## Description As a Senior Build & Release Engineer for the TeraWave project, you will be the architect of our end-to-end development velocity. You will build and maintain the "source-to-production" pipeline, ensuring consistency across our entire ecosystem: from low-level firmware on satellites and user terminals to high-availability cloud microservices and gateway controllers. You will lead the transition to a hermetic, reproducible, and automated infrastructure that allows our engineering teams to ship flight-critical features and backend updates daily., * Unified Build Ecosystem: Design and maintain a single, integrated build system (Bazel-centric) that orchestrates the building, testing, and packaging of a variety of codebases, including C/C++ firmware, Go/Java/Python microservices, and containerized cloud workloads. * Hermetic & Reproducible Pipelines: Eliminate environment-specific failures by implementing hermetic build practices. Ensure that any developer, build agent, or CI environment generates identical binary artifacts from the same source revision. * Toolchain & Dependency Management: Manage complex cross-compilation toolchains for embedded targets (ARM, RISC-V) and standardized runtime environments for cloud services (Docker/OCI images). * CI/CD at Scale: Design and scale highly concurrent containerized CI/CD pipelines. Integrate unit tests, integration tests, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations into a unified "Push on Green" workflow. * Cloud & Microservices Orchestration: Automate the containerization of cloud software (Kubernetes/Docker). Manage versioning and deployment strategies for microservices that handle network orchestration, telemetry ingestion, and satellite constellation management. * Release Engineering & OTA: Define the release lifecycle for multi-target deployments. Automate the generation of signed, secure, and verifiable images for hardware assets (OTA) and container images for cloud clusters. * Mono-Repo Strategy: Manage the technical structure and dependency graph of our monorepo, ensuring clear boundaries between firmware, middleware, and cloud service code while maintaining high velocity., Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Background Check * Required for all positions: Blue's Standard Background Check * Required for Certain Job Profiles: Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) background check if at any time the role requires one to be on a military installation * Required for Certain Job Profiles: Drivers who operate Commercial Motor Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or combination of power unit and trailer that meets or exceeds 10,001 lbs. and/or transports placardable amounts of hazardous materials by ground in any vehicle on a public road while in commerce, may be subject to additional Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations including: Driver Qualification Files, Medical Certification (obtained before onboarding), Road Test, Hours of Service, Drug and Alcohol Testing, vehicle inspection requirements, CDL requirements (if applicable) and hazardous materials transportation/shipping training. * Required for certain Job Profiles: Ability to obtain and maintain Merchant Mariner Credential, which includes pre-employment and random drug testing as well as DOT physical
