Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the Bazel build system, including build rules, toolchains, dependency management, and remote caching.
- Improve the speed and reliability of builds and tests across local development and CI.
- Streamline development workflows such as environment setup, failed-test debugging, and training-job packaging.
- Build internal developer tools that simplify common tasks and make failures easier to understand.
- Collaborate with researchers and robotics engineers to identify friction, prioritize improvements, and measure impact.
- Maintain reproducible development environments and build outputs across Linux, macOS, and GPU-enabled containers.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience building and maintaining build systems, developer tools, or CI infrastructure used by other engineers.
- Ability to write clear, maintainable software and treat internal tools as products with users.
- Deep understanding of dependency graphs, caching, reproducibility, and build and test performance tradeoffs.
- Proficiency with Python, Linux, shell tooling, and debugging across language and system boundaries.
- Ability to take ambiguous problems from discovery through implementation and adoption.
- Preferred: hands-on Bazel experience; experience with C++ toolchains, Python packaging, GPU software dependencies, or machine learning training infrastructure; prior robotics or reinforcement learning experience.
