Zendar is a technology company revolutionizing autonomous vehicle safety with next-generation radar solutions. Founded in 2017 by UC Berkeley PhDs, it develops software-defined radar systems that deliver high-resolution sensing and precise perception for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Their key products include Distributed Aperture Radar (DAR), which achieves 10x higher resolution and long-range performance with low power consumption, and Semantic Spectrum AI Radar perception software that uses AI to recognize and track objects in real time. Zendar's approach decouples radar performance from hardware constraints, enabling cost-effective, scalable, and continuously improving radar solutions for OEMs. The company operates globally with offices in the US, Germany, and France, targeting automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers to enhance vehicle safety and enable highway autonomy at Level 3 ADAS and beyond.

Are you tired of your good old corporate job, working on one project for half a year? Is your passion for making great infrastructure being kept in a box labeled “for later”? Do you enjoy working with smart people and do you want to make their developer experience great?
Zendar is looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer who understands engineering needs and can work with engineers to make their life easier and more productive. Our team is a testament of the ability to unite engineers of different backgrounds over a common vision. We do not shy away from reality and its limitations but we also dream big.
You don’t have to fit in a box. We are not looking for a superhero. But we might be looking for you!
Who We Are Autonomous vehicles need to be able to understand the world around them not only in bright daylight, but also at night, when it is foggy or rainy, or when the sun is shining right in your face. At Zendar, we make this possible by developing the highest-resolution, most information-rich radar in the world.
What makes radar powerful - its long wavelength which makes it robust to all sorts of weather and lighting conditions - also makes it really challenging to work with. We have used our deep understanding of radar physics to build radar perception models that bring a rich and complete understanding of the environment around the AV from free space to object detections to road structure. Check out what our technology can do here - all produced with only radar information, no camera and no lidar!
Zendar has a diverse and dynamic team of hardware, machine learning, signal processing and software engineers with a deep background in sensing technology. We have a global team of 60, distributed across our sites in Berkeley, Lindau (Germany), and Paris.
Zendar is backed by Tier-1 VCs, has raised more than $50M in funding and has established strong partnerships with industry leaders.
Who You Are To support our growing team, we’re looking for a DevOps Engineer . DevOps in a small company entails wearing many hats, supporting all the infrastructure, including IT, CI/CD, builds and testing, data uploads and Cloud interactions (Cloud support itself is handled by our MLOps team)!
You will be the second engineer on the DevOps team, working with our Senior DevOps Engineer, which means that you will not only have a lot of influence in shaping all of DevOps at Zendar, but also have a lot of learning opportunities and support. This role is perfect for someone who is comfortable managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously, enjoys interacting frequently with other engineers, and is opinionated about what to prioritize and how to build things.
Key Responsibilities
IT:
Handle provisioning, maintenance, and purchasing of workstation and laptop hardware/software.
Maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot the office network environment.
CI/CD and Infrastructure:
Maintain and adapt CI runners and CI pipelines using GitHub Actions, ensuring they remain efficient and scalable as we grow.
Build System and Dependency Management Support:
Work alongside the engineering team to manage dependencies and deploy updates to the build system, particularly focusing on CMake and Python dependency management toolchains.
