At Gauss Robotics, we are pioneering the automation of robotics by integrating advanced AI, cloud-native infrastructure, simulation technology, and robotics. Our platform is designed to simplify the engineering and deployment processes of robotic systems, making them accessible for factories around the world. Unlike many software companies, our systems seamlessly integrate with the real-world robotics and industrial processes, enabling the execution of tasks without being confined to the cloud.
Our Senior DevOps Engineer role is pivotal in ensuring that the cloud infrastructure supporting our AI-powered robotics systems remains robust, scalable, and operationally efficient. This role requires deep knowledge of cloud architecture, networking, distributed systems, Kubernetes, and software engineering. You will be responsible for building and maintaining the critical infrastructure that powers our robotics systems, ensuring reliability, scalability, and operational simplicity.
Within your first year, you will:
- Help our platform scale as customer adoption grows.
- Improve the reliability and scalability of our robotics cloud and edge infrastructure.
- Raise engineering standards around observability, security, and operations.
- Eliminate operational bottlenecks through automation and better architecture.
- Influence major technical decisions across our tech stack.
This role is based in Braunschweig, with a focus on in-person collaboration and the expectation that team members will be on-site 2-3 days per week. The salary is competitive, aligned with experience and responsibility, with the potential for significant ownership and influence over the technical strategy of the platform.
Tasks:
- Design, build, and evolve our cloud infrastructure on AWS.
- Own our Kubernetes platform running on AWS EKS.
- Design networking architectures that are secure, scalable, and operationally simple using Tailscale, Kubernetes, Istio.
- Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using Pulumi and TypeScript.
- Develop and improve GitOps workflows using GitHub and ArgoCD.
- Build IaC, tooling, and automation in TypeScript and Python.
- Improve observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and modern monitoring practices.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex production incidents across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, applications, and robotics systems running on Linux.
- Make architecture decisions that influence the future direction of our platform.
- Work directly with software engineers, robotics engineers, and leadership to scale the business.
Requirements:
- Sound practical experience with the aforementioned tech stack.
- Extensive hands-on Kubernetes experience in production environments.
- Strong cloud architecture experience on AWS.
- Deep understanding of networking fundamentals.
- Practical experience with cloud networking and security.
- Good software engineering skills.
- Experience writing production code in TypeScript and Python.
- Experience making architectural decisions and understanding their long-term consequences.
- A strong bias toward automation and simplification.
Most importantly, you are someone who follows problems all the way to their root cause. You do not stop when a workaround has been found. You keep digging until the underlying issue is understood and permanently fixed.
Benefits:
- Real Ownership & Impact – You will have significant ownership, direct influence on technical strategy, and the ability to shape the platform that powers the next generation of AI-enabled turnkey robotics solutions.
- Continuous Learning – Access to professional learning platforms and technical courses.
- Choose Your Setup – Select your preferred device and operating system.
- Flexible Work Model – Flexible working hours and hybrid work options.
- Mobility Support – Jobrad/bike leasing or public transportation benefits.
- Health & Wellbeing – Flexible gym membership or capital-building benefits; fresh fruit and soft drinks in the office. Competitive Salary – Aligned with experience and responsibility.
