STARK

ABOUT US STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments. We’re focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems - not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe - today. YOUR MISSION As a vital member of our Infra & DevSecOps team, you aren't just managing servers - you are the architect of the technical bridge between software, firmware, and physical infrastructure. You will ensure our autonomous stack compiles, deploys, and operates flawlessly across edge devices, microcontrollers, and cloud systems. Your work will directly impact the reliability and scalability of our embedded autonomy infrastructure deployed across air, land, and sea systems. RESPONSIBILITIES * Create and refine GitLab CI/CD pipelines tailored for cross-compiled and embedded builds. * Facilitate automated build-test-deploy processes across on-premises edge hardware and GCP. * Establish secure and traceable software delivery by applying DevSecOps principles to edge computing. * Oversee artifact lifecycles and multi-architecture containerisation strategies using OCI and Docker. * Develop and maintain build and deployment scripts. * Collaborate with firmware and electronics teams to integrate and test microcontrollers, sensor boards, and autopilot hardware. * Build and maintain secure links between on-premises infrastructure and GCP. * Integrate on-premises identity providers with GCP IAM and implement Zero Trust principles. * Orchestrate the transition of cloud workloads to on-premises infrastructure. * Manage egress costs and minimise latency between the data centre and cloud regions. SOFT SKILLS * You are solution-oriented and focus on "how we can do this" rather than listing reasons why we can't. * You have the ability to communicate complex technical ideas in a clear and respectful manner to other team members. * You have a team-first mentality: you prioritise the stability of the platform and the health of the team over being the 'smartest person in the room'. QUALIFICATIONS * Degree in Software Engineering (Bachelor’s or Master’s) or equivalent professional background * 2-5 years of experience in EdgeOps, DevSecOps, or DevOps * Proficiency with GitLab CI/CD and Docker * Strong understanding of DevSecOps, EdgeOps, and DevOps principles * Expertise in Git and Git Flow * Scripting skills in Python and Bash * Linux expertise (Debian, Ubuntu) and experience with ARM64 cross-compilation * Knowledge of GitLab Runners or comparable tools NICE TO HAVE * Experience working with cloud platforms * Familiarity with GCP services such as GCE, Cloud Build, and Artifact Registry * Hands-on knowledge of embedded hardware like NVIDIA Jetson or Raspberry Pi, and integration with MCU firmware
