DevOps Engineer

Do you want to make an impact as a DevOps Engineer by elevating software development for embedded systems to the next level?

In this role within Lely’s Developer Experience team, you’ll support our developers in improving their CI/CD pipelines. In doing so, you’ll help accelerate, secure, and simplify the software delivery process for our high-tech robotics solutions.

You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team to build tooling, automation, and infrastructure that continuously enhance the developer experience. In close collaboration with embedded software teams, you’ll ensure that their software is built, tested, and deployed reliably, securely, and at scale. You will not be working on pipelines for cloud applications, but robots on a dairy farm.

Your main responsibilities:

• Improve and standardize CI/CD pipelines for embedded software teams
• Maintain tooling for software packaging and distribution (including APT, Python, Docker)
• Build scalable and secure infrastructure for building and testing embedded software
• Advise and support development teams in optimizing their build and release processes
• Identify and resolve technical bottlenecks within the build pipeline
• Actively contribute to team goals in an Agile work environment

You are a pragmatic and solution-oriented engineer who gets energy from improving development processes. You understand the dynamics of embedded software development and know how to make those processes faster and more robust.

In addition, you bring the following qualifications:

• A completed bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• Experience with embedded software projects and DevOps principles
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, preferably using GitLab
• Experience with tools such as Docker, Python, Artifactory, and Debian packaging (APT)
• Affinity with cybersecurity and software quality

To address the food demand and challenge for 2050, it is crucial to handle people, animals, and the environment responsibly. For us, this means being a reliable long-term partner for our customers and passing on the world to the next generation through sustainable product development. You can contribute to realizing this dream.

What can you expect in your role as a Backend Developer?

• Working in an international work environment within one of the most innovative organizations in the Netherlands and also the largest robot producer in Europe.
• Excellent employment conditions, including up to 8 weeks of vacation.
• A full-time salary scale between €4900 and €7000 gross per month where we would like to see a growth option within the scale.
• Opportunities for growth where you are in charge of your own development.
• Space and freedom to innovate, bring in new ideas, and undertake initiatives. We not only offer this, but we also genuinely expect it. It's up to you to come up with ideas and implement them.
• A team with enthusiastic, helpful colleagues, collaborating with product development, procurement, and other stakeholders.
• Our Lely Academy offers various training programs, such as personality training or more job-relevant training. If you want to develop yourself but it's not in the curriculum, you discuss it with your manager.
• The #FitatLely program with our own Lely Gym. A volleyball court, basketball court, football table, and ping pong table where you can challenge your colleagues or take a break from work.
• Lease-a-Bike scheme to lease a new bike affordably.
• Additionally, enjoy the services and wide range of coffee and tea from our personal barista at the Lely Campus, who makes the tastiest cappuccinos from fresh milk, directly from our own farmer from the Lely Orbiter, for example.
• A healthy work-life balance with a hybrid policy where you are minimum 3 days on Campus. This is flexible and can be arranged in consultation with your manager. Prefer more time on our modern Campus? You are always welcome (between 06:00 a.m. and 08:00 p.m.).
• Moreover, we love to celebrate. Whether it's an anniversary or our Christmas party, at Lely, we know how to celebrate!
