About Us STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.

We’re focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems - not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe - today.

]]> Your mission As part of the Infra & DevSecOps team you will be the technical bridge between software, firmware, and infrastructure, ensuring that our autonomous stack compiles, deploys, and runs efficiently and securely across edge devices, microcontrollers, and cloud-connected systems.

Your work will directly impact the reliability and scalability of our embedded autonomy infrastructure deployed across air, land, and sea systems.

]]> Responsibilities We are looking for candidates with experience in some or all of the following areas:

CI/CD & Automation

Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitLab for embedded and cross-compiled builds.
Automate build, test, and deploy workflows across GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and on-premises edge devices.
Apply DevSecOps / EdgeOps principles for secure, traceable software delivery.
Manage containerization and artifacts for multi-arch builds (Docker & other OCI containers).
Develop and maintain build and deployment scripts.

Hardware Integration

Collaborate with firmware and electronics teams to integrate and test microcontrollers, sensor boards, and autopilot hardware.

Infrastructure

Build and maintain secure links between on-premises infrastructure and GCP.
Provision and manage infrastructure using IaC.
Integrate on-premises identity providers with GCP IAM and implement Zero Trust principles.
Orchestrate the transition of cloud workloads to on-premises infrastructure.
Establish unified visibility across the hybrid stack.
Manage egress costs and minimise latency between the data centre and cloud regions.

Desired Skills (depending on your specialisation)

Docker, GitLab CI/CD
DevOps, DevSecOps, and EdgeOps principles
Advanced Git usage (Git Flow)
Bash, Python
Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian); Cross-compilation for ARM64
Cloud platform experience
On-prem infrastructure experience
Zero trust experience
Familiarity with GitLab Runners, or equivalent

Nice to have

Experience with GCP (Artifact Registry, Cloud Build, GCE instances)
Experience with Go
Knowledge of embedded hardware, e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or similar ARM64 SBCs; familiarity with MCU firmware integration

]]> Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering or equivalent experience

2-5 years of DevOps, DevSecOps or EdgeOps experience

Soft skills

You are solution-oriented and focus on "how we can do this" rather than listing reasons why we can't.
You have the ability to communicate complex technical ideas in a clear and respectful manner to other team members.
You have a team-first mentality: you prioritise the stability of the platform and the health of the team over being the 'smartest person in the room'.
