The Release Engineer team is responsible for building and maintaining the systems that power software delivery—from CI/CD pipelines and artifact management to release automation and fleet telemetry. We ensure software across bootloaders, firmware, operating systems, and cloud services is built reproducibly, validated rigorously, and released safely at scale.
As a Release Engineer, you’ll design, build, and operate release infrastructure that enables reliable, secure, and traceable software delivery across complex multi-component systems. You’ll partner closely with embedded, cloud, and QA teams to ensure that every build—from development to OTA deployment—is fast, verifiable, and production-ready.
We’re looking for engineers who take pride in automation, build reproducibility, and system reliability—and who enjoy building the connective tissue that allows hardware and software to ship together seamlessly.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of four days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
Design and operate CI/CD pipelines for multi-component builds (bootloader, firmware, OS images, backend, companion apps) using hermetic toolchains.
Define versioning and branching strategies; automate promotions, changelogs, and artifact retention.
Integrate unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test results; quarantine flaky tests, auto-bisect failures, and block unsafe promotions.
Build A/B OTA update flows with verity and health checks; run staged rollouts and canaries; implement safe rollback and roll-forward strategies.
Implement code signing for binaries and firmware, generate SBOMs, run vulnerability scanning, and attach build attestations and provenance.
Manage dashboards and alerts for build health, promotion latency, failure rates, and fleet update telemetry.
Have experience building and operating build and release systems for consumer devices, robotics, mobile, or embedded products.
Are proficient in scripting and automation languages such as Python or Bash.
Have strong Linux user-space fundamentals.
Have experience with GitHub Actions or Buildkite, artifact registries, and reproducible toolchains.
Have experience managing vendor BSPs and toolchains.
Have delivered secure OTA or image updates with staged rollouts at scale.
Are familiar with key management and supply-chain hardening.
Have a track record of metrics-driven improvement and continuous optimization.
