Systems & DevOps Lead Engineer (fmd)

Autonomous street cleaning is no longer a concept - its on the road. At ENWAY a Bucher Municipal company based in Berlin we turn conventional street sweepers into self-driving machines through advanced robotics and software engineering. Weve just launched our first product: the Bucher CityCat VR17ae a fully autonomous compact sweeper.

As our Systems & DevOps Lead Engineer youll own the backbone that lets us build and ship reliable software across our entire vehicle range from our autonomous robotics stack to the next-generation software and electronics platform shared by our conventional sweepers. Youll build and run the CI/CD embedded build and infrastructure our software and hardware teams depend on every day and set the technical direction for how we do it as we scale.

This is a hands-on lead role for someone whos deeply technical takes end-to-end ownership of systems and reliability and enjoys being close to real hardware not just cloud abstractions. Youll work directly with engineers across software embedded and hardware to remove friction and keep development fast and dependable.

Backed by Bucher Municipal a world-leading manufacturer of municipal cleaning vehicles (sweepers sewer cleaning winter maintenance refuse collection and digital services) you get startup pace with industrial-scale impact.

Tasks

Youll own all Systems & DevOps topics at Bucher Municipal Compact Sweeper Competence Center: setting direction and building the systems our teams rely on. This includes but isnt limited to:

• Design build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that build test release and deploy multiple software/hardware revisions in parallel.
• Own our embedded Linux build and delivery chain - from Yocto/BitBake image generation to the over-the-air (OTA) update pipeline - so we can build ship and update software reliably across our vehicle platforms.
• Expand improve and maintain our critical systems infrastructure and its automation.
• Set standards and best practices for infrastructure reliability and tooling across the engineering organisation.
• Own monitoring alerting and incident response so issues are caught and resolved early.
• Work hands-on with real hardware on the vehicles.
• Partner with our software embedded and hardware teams to debug issues and remove development friction.

Requirements

Must have:

• Strong Unix/Linux administration experience.
• Solid command of version control (Git/GitHub) and modern CI / build automation (e.g. GitHub Actions GitLab).
• Hands-on experience with containerisation and virtualisation (e.g. Docker virtual machines).
• Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g. Ansible Terraform Puppet Salt).
• Experience building and maintaining server infrastructure and networking (VPN setup and ongoing maintenance).
• Working knowledge of at least one programming language (e.g. Python C JavaScript).
• A DevOps mindset: You enable developers and other teams rather than gatekeep them.
• Able to work fast and independently while favouring teamwork; proactive can-do attitude and strong communication skills.
• 5 years of professional full-time experience.
• Fluent English.

Nice to have:

• German language skills.
• Experience with logging & monitoring infrastructure (e.g. ELK stack PagerDuty).
• Cloud and/or container-orchestration experience (e.g. AWS/GCP/Azure Kubernetes).
• Knowledge of robotics frameworks such as ROS.
• Knowledge of CMake.
• 10 years of professional full-time experience.

Benefits

• Be part of a pioneering team running the infrastructure behind one of the worlds first fully autonomous compact sweepers.
• High ownership and direct impact you set the standard for how we build and ship.
• 30 days of vacation per year.
• Flexible working times & Hybrid working (achievement of goals matters not face time).
• Flat hierarchies and the freedom to develop and implement your own ideas.
• High-performance company laptop.
• Lunch & fitness-studio subsidies.
• Cool and vibrant working environment at the center of groundbreaking innovation.
• Exciting team events.
