QA, Code Quality & CI/CD Expert

We are looking for a specialist who will be responsible for developing and enforcing software quality standards and improving the processes used to develop, test, deploy, and update software running on our robots.

Responsibilities

• Overseeing and maintaining high code quality standards and software development practices;

• Defining and enforcing software engineering standards for teams working on robotic systems, backend applications, and supporting tools;

• Designing processes for code reviews, change approvals, and release management;

• Developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines;

• Automating software compilation, testing, validation, and deployment;

• Implementing unit, integration, system, regression, and hardware–software integration tests;

• Defining quality criteria and release gates for new software versions;

• Implementing and developing tools for static code analysis, dependency management, bug detection, and security vulnerability scanning;

• Organising the container architecture and establishing rules for dividing software into appropriate, independent components;

• Standardising the building, versioning, storage, and distribution of container images;

• Establishing versioning rules for source code, configurations, dependencies, firmware, and complete robot software releases;

• Developing a secure remote software update system for robots;

• Enabling controlled deployment of updates to selected devices or groups of robots;

• Implementing staged deployment, update rollback, and stable-version recovery mechanisms;

• Ensuring complete change traceability—from an issue and commit to the specific software version running on an individual robot;

• Collaborating with teams responsible for ROS/ROS 2, autonomous navigation, embedded systems, backend services, and the cloud platform;

• Creating technical documentation, checklists, release procedures, and development standards;

• Monitoring the quality of the software development process and initiating corrective actions;

• Building a culture of responsibility for product quality, stability, and security across the team.

Key objectives of the role

• Reducing the number of defects identified during commissioning and operation at customer sites;

• Ensuring repeatable, automated, and auditable software releases;

• Providing clear identification of the software version running on each device;

• Enabling secure remote updates without requiring an on-site service visit each time;

• Increasing system stability and reducing issue diagnosis time;

• Standardising software development practices across all teams.

Requirements

• A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience;

• Experience in QA Automation, CI/CD, DevOps, Release Engineering, or Software Quality;

• Very good knowledge of Git, branching strategies, pull/merge requests, tags, and releases;

• Practical knowledge of CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar;

• Experience with Docker and container-based architectures;

• Ability to design automated software build, testing, and publishing processes;

• Experience in developing testing strategies and implementing automated tests;

• Knowledge of Semantic Versioning, version management, and dependency management;

• Good knowledge of Linux;

• Ability to analyse software architecture and identify areas requiring standardisation;

• Experience in creating technical documentation and procedures;

• Independence, consistency, and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams;

• English proficiency sufficient to work confidently with technical documentation and communicate effectively in day-to-day work.

Nice to have

• Experience with ROS or ROS 2;

• Experience in robotics, automotive, IoT, embedded systems, or edge computing projects;

• Knowledge of OTA updates and device fleet management systems;

• Experience with field-deployed devices operating with intermittent connectivity;

• Knowledge of A/B update systems, rollback mechanisms, and secure boot;

• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker Compose, or similar tools;

• Knowledge of C++, Python, and Bash;

• Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop and Software-in-the-Loop testing;

• Familiarity with tools for static code analysis, quality monitoring, and dependency security;

• Experience in defining software quality metrics and reporting the technical status of a project;

• Knowledge of cybersecurity principles for cloud-connected devices.

What we offer

• A genuine influence on the architecture and software development standards of autonomous robots;

• The opportunity to design quality and CI/CD processes for an entire product and fleet of devices;

• Work on solutions combining robotics, embedded systems, cloud technologies, and artificial intelligence;

• A high degree of independence and direct cooperation with the technical team and company management;

• The opportunity to develop standards that will scale with the growing number of robots being manufactured and deployed;

• Compensation aligned with your experience;

• Access to physical robots and a dedicated testing environment.
