About the Role

Atoms is seeking a foundational Developer Experience Engineer to build scalable developer infrastructure for its autonomous transport initiative. This role involves optimizing developer workflows across large-scale C++, Python, Go, Rust, and embedded firmware codebases, eliminating build friction, and architecting secure Over-The-Air (OTA) update mechanisms for the vehicle fleet. The goal is to empower robotics, ML, and software teams to accelerate the delivery of safe, on-road autonomous transportation.

Responsibilities

Own CI/CD pipelines for Transport's repos, optimizing for speed.
Optimize build times and ensure build reproducibility using systems like Bazel.
Automate building and testing of embedded firmware and vehicle OS.
Design and build over-the-air updates for vehicles, including staged rollouts, redundancy, and rollback.
Define repository architecture, artifact versioning, storage, and dependency tracking.
Integrate Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) rigs and simulation into release validation.
Track build health, test flakiness, and time-to-deploy, fostering a data-informed culture.

Requirements

8+ years of professional experience in Developer Experience, Build Engineering, or Infrastructure supporting large-scale engineering organizations.
Strong programming proficiency in Python, C++, Go, or similar.
Deep knowledge of modern build systems and package managers (e.g., Bazel, CMake, UV).
Hands-on experience scaling CI/CD systems, monorepo architectures, and automated testing pipelines for complex codebases.
Familiarity with embedded systems, firmware builds, or containerized IoT operating systems (such as Balena Linux or Yocto).
Foundational understanding of designing secure, fail-safe Over-The-Air (OTA) deployment pipelines for edge hardware or robotics.
Proven ability to reduce build/test cycle times, eliminate flaky tests, and untangle complex dependency graphs.
Exceptional communication skills and a passion for acting as an empathetic force multiplier for cross-functional teams.
