Make an Impact with Smart Software Solutions

Do you want to make an impact as a DevOps Engineer by taking software development for embedded systems to the next level? In this role within Lely’s Developer Experience team, you will 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 will work in a multidisciplinary team to build tooling, automation, and infrastructure aimed at continuously improving the developer experience. In close collaboration with embedded software teams, you’ll ensure that their software is built, tested, and deployed to our robots in a reliable, scalable, and secure way.

Your key responsibilities:

• Improve and standardize CI/CD pipelines for embedded software teams
• Maintain tooling for software packaging and distribution (e.g., 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 in the build pipeline
• Actively contribute to team goals in an Agile working 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 accelerate and make those processes more robust.

In addition, you bring the following:

• 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 in GitLab
• Experience with tools such as Docker, Python, Artifactory, and Debian packaging (APT)
• Affinity with cybersecurity and software quality
