Job Description

  Job type: Full-time, on-site

Experience: Mid Level to Senior

Location: Worcester, MA

Do you thrive on ensuring complex systems work seamlessly? Are you passionate about designing and maintaining robust build systems, Docker environments, and CI/CD pipelines? Geisel Software, a fast-growing custom software development company, is looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer who can bring their expertise to support our team in building software that reaches beyond boundaries—on Earth and in space.

At Geisel, we deliver cutting-edge solutions in embedded and application software, with a focus on staying ahead of technology trends. Our projects range from robotic systems to cloud-based platforms for clients like NASA, iRobot, and the Wyss Institute at Harvard. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our team in Worcester, Massachusetts, to take ownership of our DevOps processes and infrastructure.

Key for this Role

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using full AWS suite of tools
• Manage Docker-based development and deployment environments.
• Troubleshoot build and deployment issues in a largely C++/Python codebase with a Microservice Architecture
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to understand a large complex codebase for a cutting edge robotics application
• Work independently, referencing large knowledge base of documentation and functioning code without needing significant hand-holding

Here’s what we require

• 3 - ∞ years of experience in DevOps, System Engineering, or related roles
• Proficiency with Docker, AWS cloud tools, and CI/CD pipeline implementation and management
• Familiarity with Linux administration and shell scripting.  You can be a Windows/Mac pro, but you'll be doing at least 50% of your development on Linux. You should be comfortable with that.
• Solid understanding of version control systems like Git and branching workflows.
• Good foundational software development skills: basic understanding of algorithms and CS theory, proficiency with at least one programming language (Python C++ or similar)
• An aptitude for learning new platforms and technologies on the fly. We’re constantly working on new projects that will push you and keep you always learning new technologies.
• Solid skills in communicating and collaborating with other technical people.  No one is going to pull you onto a sales call, but we need someone who is able to understand the needs of other engineers, and communicate clearly about current tasks and shifting priorities on a rapidly developing project.
• Willing to commute to Worcester, MA.
• Looking for full-time employment.
• Must be a US Person.

Nice to Have

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Ansible.
• Experience with runc
• Familiarity with microservice architecture and distributed systems.
• Knowledge of robotic systems, IoT, or embedded software development.
• Previous work with Agile or Hybrid-Agile development methodologies.
• Experience in monitoring and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, or AWS CloudWatch).
• Interest and aptitude in software engineering and development.  Our teams often move swiftly between projects, and not all of them are heavy on the DevOps.  If you also have skills and desire to work in other areas of software development, we often have those opportunities.

What you’ll get

• An opportunity to work with the latest technologies across a variety of platforms.
• A fun, exciting work environment focused on the results, not the politics.
• Mentorship and collaboration with an experienced team of engineers passionate about their craft.
• Competitive benefits, company stock options, and salary with an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company.
