About Us Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

About The Role As an Infrastructure & Deployment DevOps Engineer , you will play a key role in designing the software systems that power our manufacturing and production environment . You will architect and maintain the deployment pipelines, infrastructure automation, and fleet management solutions for our internal production assets—including engineering workstations, automated test benches, and IIoT components . Your mission is to ensure that our production line is a high-performance, reproducible, and scalable environment that enables our R&D and manufacturing teams to move at lightning speed.

Responsibilities

• Internal Fleet Management – Design and maintain systems to coordinate software updates and manage life-cycles across a diverse fleet of production workstations and industrial compute nodes.
• Infrastructure Automation – Develop and maintain automated deployment solutions for test benches and IIoT devices using containerization tools (Docker, Docker Compose, Portainer).
• Scalable CI/CD for Production – Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI) that support the rapid delivery of automation tools and inspection software to the factory floor.
• Reproducible Environments – Utilize declarative build systems (e.g., Docker Bake, Ansible) to ensure that every test bench and workstation in the facility is configured identically and can be recovered instantly.
• Cross-Team Collaboration – Partner with R&D, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to deliver reliable, secure, and maintainable automation solutions for our internal operations.

Candidate Requirements

• MSc in Software, Electrical, Computer Science, or a related engineering field.
• 3+ years of professional experience in a software engineering role with a heavy focus on infrastructure, DevOps, or industrial automation.
• Expert Python Skills – Proficiency in scripting, automation, and building deployment tooling.
• Containerization Mastery – Hands-on experience deploying software at scale using Docker and orchestration tools.
• Fleet & Config Management – Experience with tools like Ansible for workstation configuration or IoT platforms (e.g., AWS IoT Greengrass) for managing distributed industrial assets.
• Excellent communication skills and proven ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
