Junior/Regular DevOps

Project description:

Upgrade the current CI for next‑gen vehicles, aligned with Google Horizon SDV, to improve reliability, speed, and accessibility for the component CI (IHU, DHU, UXC) with a main focus on UXC. Work includes build optimization and cloud workstations; UXC uses Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and QNX OS (QNX Hypervisor)

Responsibilities:

• Build Optimization Work Package
• Rebuild current infrastructure on Kubernetes to gain observability, easier maintenance, scaling, and high availability.
• Configure Bazel as the top‑level build system for all products.
• Continuously monitor and optimize the build process (cost, speed, reliability).
• Cloud Workstations & Cuttlefish Work Package
• Enable use of Google Cloud Workstations, connecting them to the right lower system levels.
• Make cloud workstations the preferred option through ease of configuration, possible SSO/unified access management involvement, user feedback, and iteration.
• Integrate Cuttlefish as a standard test device in ConX CI. (Deliverable 3)
• Collaboration, Reporting & Governance
• Participate in agile ceremonies and relevant meetings; collaborate with internal dev teams; ensure resources have access to environments/tools/permissions.
• Follow Customer processes (Gerrit for code, documentation in SFE Confluence/JIRA/source) and demonstrate functionality with production performance data.
• Provide weekly status to Purchaser; team demo ~every 4 weeks; run monthly governance meetings (delivery, hours, issues, escalations, improvements).

Skills:

1. Bazel expertise as top‑level build system
2. Familiarity with ABFS and RBE concepts and usage
3. Kubernetes (design/operations), including monitoring, autoscaling, and high availability
4. Service mesh / proxies: Envoy Proxy / Istio.
5. Python for scripting
6. Tooling & platforms used: Docker, Grafana, Grafana Alloy, Loki, Ubuntu, Git/Gerrit, Terraform.
7. Ability to operate and optimize build systems ("build barn") and educate/share knowledge with Customer employees.
8. Experience with AAOS and QNX Hypervisor/QNX OS in CI contexts
9. Familiarity with Cuttlefish and virtual device integration/testing pipelines
10. Experience driving SSO/unified access management for developer environments
11. Strong competencies in agile practices, observability stacks, and cost optimization for CI/CD at scale.

Nice to have:

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience

Automotive domain experience (explicitly not required, but can be beneficial)
