About this job
About the Team
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments. We design and manufacture our hardware in-house, which means iteration, fabrication, and execution all happen under one roof.
Our software doesn't just run in the cloud — it has to deploy reliably across real robots, Jetsons, and internal systems used for testing and demos. Our engineering team works across robotics, embedded systems, and edge infrastructure, and we need strong operational foundations to support fast iteration and reliable releases.
About the Role
As a DevOps Engineer at Droyd, you will own the systems that make software deployment reliable across our robots and edge infrastructure. You will build release processes, improve deployment confidence, and create operational tooling that supports both engineering velocity and fleet reliability.
A central part of this role is dealing with the realities of Jetson-based systems: cross-compilation from x86_64 to aarch64, JetPack quirks, OTA workflows, and the infrastructure needed to keep a distributed hardware fleet working.
This role is based on-site in San Francisco, CA.
In This Role, You’ll
Release & Deployment
Build and maintain release and deployment pipelines for robots and edge systems
Own operational workflows across local development, Jetson devices, and production environments
Improve deployment confidence, reproducibility, and rollback safety across the fleet
Fleet & Edge Infrastructure
Improve OTA and fleet management workflows for deployed hardware
Handle cross-compilation workflows from x86_64 to aarch64 for Jetson-based systems
Work on the infrastructure behind certs, JWKS, QUIC, and other reliability-critical systems
Process & Collaboration
Work closely with robotics and software teams to standardize release, update, and system management practices
Drive process improvements in messy real-world systems
Work Environment & Schedule
On-site in San Francisco, CA
Full-time
We’re Looking For Candidates Who
Have strong DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience
Have deep Linux and Ubuntu experience
Have hands-on experience with JetPack and Jetson-based systems
Have experience with Docker Compose, systemd, fleet management, or OTA workflows
Can design practical deployment systems for hardware and edge environments
Have strong technical judgment and can drive process improvements in messy real-world systems
Nice to Have
Experience with Balena or Balena Etcher
Experience with embedded Linux or robotics deployments
Experience supporting cert, auth, or transport infrastructure in production systems
About Droyd
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that operate in real production environments. We design the hardware, develop the control stack, and generate the data that enables generalist robotics.
If we do this right, robots stop being demos and start being infrastructure.
Join us and help build the systems that make it real.
