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
Harmattan AI is developing advanced autonomous drone systems and payloads for defense applications. As the company scales fast and our software codebase grows even faster, we need a DevOps engineer to improve developer productivity and experience and keep the embedded software quality at a high level. Working across all of our software teams, you will own the continuous integration infrastructure that lets our engineers ship reliable code at pace.
Responsibilities
Continuous Integration: Design, build, and maintain the CI/CD pipelines that compile, test, and deliver our software.
Visibility & Alerting: Build feedback tools, such as dashboards and notification/alert systems, that surface build, test, and pipeline status to the right people at the right time.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with software developers across every team, as well as Validation, and the GNC, ML, and Perception teams, to understand their workflows, gather their needs, and turn them into practical tooling solutions.
AI in the Pipeline: Integrate and deploy AI agents within the CI.
Developer Productivity & Quality: Track the overall health of the development workflow, and spot bottlenecks and quality issues.
Documentation & Standards: Document the tooling you build and help standardize development best practices across teams.
Candidate requirements
GitHub & CI/CD: Proficiency with GitHub and GitHub Actions, including writing and maintaining workflows in the Actions YAML syntax to automate builds and tests.
Technical proficiency: Confident writing automation in Bash and Python, and comfortable working in a Linux environment with Docker.
Past experience: Significant experience in embedded software development, using languages such as C/C++.
Build systems: Solid hands-on experience with build systems such as CMake, and the ability to debug and maintain build configurations.
Educational background: MSc or BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a similar technical field; equivalent professional experience is equally valued.
Nice to have
A background in robotics, to better understand the needs and activities of the R&D teams.
Experience setting up automated test benches and/or functional testing frameworks.
Familiarity with agentic coding tools and their advanced configuration.
Mindset
Service-oriented: You treat developers across every team as your users, listening to their workflows and building tooling that removes their friction.
Strong communicator & collaborator: You gather needs, explain trade-offs, and align many teams around shared standards.
Pragmatic owner: You prioritize what matters most for the whole organization, ship incrementally, and take ownership of the reliability everyone depends on.
We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
