Embedded DevOps Engineer (ROCGJP00038135)

The ideal candidate is a seasoned DevOps engineer with a minimum of five years' experience in embedded Linux and Android systems, adept at architecting, building, and continuously improving CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/GitHub Actions for fast, reliable, and reproducible builds. This individual possesses a strong technical foundation in C/C++ build workflows (make/cmake), Python scripting, Docker containerization, and administering Debian-based Linux environments, alongside expertise in complex configuration and release management at scale. Furthermore, the perfect fit brings an understanding of code quality/security tooling integration (SAST/SCA) and excellent collaboration skills with fluency in both German (C1) and English (C1) to effectively coach teams and document systems.

Tasks & Responsibilities:

*Build, operate, and continuously improve the software build and test infrastructure for embedded Linux and Android as targets.

*Design, enhance, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab/GitHub) for fast, reliable, and repeatable builds, tests, packaging, and delivery.

*Implement and apply enterprise policies across the toolchain and pipelines (security, access control, auditability, compliance, approvals).

*Introduce and integrate tooling to analyze and ensure code quality (static/dynamic analysis, linters, code coverage, test reporting, SCA).

*Shape the product and workflow for robust configuration and release management (versioning, branching strategy, artifact management, reproducible builds, variant/feature flag management).

*Containerize builds and test environments for consistency and scalability (Docker-based toolchains, runners, caching).

*Support Development and QA with tooling, pipelines, test automation, and debugging of build/integration issues.

*Monitor build health and pipeline performance; drive continuous improvement through metrics and feedback loops.

*Document systems, standards, and best practices; coach teams on effective usage.
