Responsibilities

- Build Systems: Own and evolve Bazel-based build and test infrastructure that supports C++, Python, Rust, and Typescript-based development.

This includes GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines, Bazel build and test systems, cloud infrastructure, and Kubernetes services that allow engineers to ship reliably at scale.
The Team The Operations and Infrastructure teams support the real-world deployment and iteration of PI’s robotics systems.
This includes ownership of GitHub workflows, CI systems, and build tooling that sit directly on the critical path of development.
In This Role You Will - CI/CD Ownership: Design and operate GitHub-based CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, checks, workflows) with a focus on reliability, speed, and signal quality.
