What are DevOps Software Engineers?

DevOps Software Engineers are IT professionals who combine software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to streamline the software delivery process. They are responsible for automating workflows, managing infrastructure, and ensuring continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines run smoothly. By bridging the gap between development and operations teams, DevOps engineers help organizations deliver software faster, more reliably, and with higher quality. Their work often involves using tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a DevOps Software Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a DevOps Software Engineer, you need a solid background in software development, system administration, and automation, often with a degree in computer science or related fields. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes), and relevant certifications like AWS Certified DevOps Engineer are typically required. Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills set outstanding candidates apart in this role. These skills and qualifications are crucial for ensuring efficient software delivery, system reliability, and seamless collaboration between development and operations teams.

How does a DevOps Software Engineer typically interact with development and operations teams on a daily basis?

As a DevOps Software Engineer, you will regularly collaborate with both development and IT operations teams to streamline the software delivery process. This often involves participating in daily stand-ups, troubleshooting deployment issues, and automating workflows to bridge gaps between code development and production release. You'll be responsible for maintaining CI/CD pipelines, monitoring system health, and ensuring smooth communication between different technical teams. Effective collaboration and a proactive approach to problem-solving are key to success in this role.

Job description

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.
About The Role
We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to support the development, integration, and deployment of flight software systems. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and testing, with a strong emphasis on designing and managing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated Flight Test on various Cloud and HW testbeds including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL).
Responsibilities:
  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable Gitlab CI/CD pipelines to support flight software build, test, and release workflows.
  • Develop and manage containerized environments using Docker to ensure consistency across development, simulation, and test systems.
  • Provision and manage cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.
  • Build and maintain automated pipelines for SIL and HIL testing, enabling continuous validation of flight software against simulated and real hardware interfaces.
  • Support Flight Test operations by developing reliable deployment, telemetry, and data collection workflows.
  • Integrate hardware test benches with CI/CD systems to enable automated regression testing and real-time feedback.
  • Optimize build systems for performance, reproducibility, and traceability across multiple flight software configurations.
  • Collaborate closely with flight software, avionics, and test engineers to streamline development and test cycles.
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions for both cloud and on-premise test environments.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 3+ years of experience in DevOps, software infrastructure, test automation, or platform engineering.
  • Strong experience designing, building, and maintaining GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
  • Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized development or test environments.
  • Experience provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure, preferably with AWS.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
  • Strong scripting or programming experience in Python, Bash, or similar languages.
  • Experience supporting build, test, release, or deployment workflows for complex software systems.
  • Ability to work closely with software, hardware, avionics, and test teams in a fast-paced engineering environment.
  • Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and communication skills.

Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Experience supporting flight software, embedded software, robotics, aerospace, automotive, defense, or other safety-critical systems.
  • Experience with Software-in-the-Loop, Hardware-in-the-Loop, or other integrated test environments.
  • Familiarity with real-time systems, hardware test benches, avionics systems, or embedded Linux environments.
  • Experience integrating CI/CD pipelines with physical hardware, lab systems, test rigs, or automated regression test infrastructure.
  • Experience with telemetry, data collection, deployment tooling, or operational support for flight test or field test environments.
  • Knowledge of build systems, artifact management, version control, and release traceability for regulated or mission-critical software.
  • Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting for cloud and on-premise infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with AWS services commonly used for compute, storage, networking, security, and automation.
  • Ability to move quickly between infrastructure design, hands-on implementation, debugging, and cross-functional support.
  • Active or previous security clearance, or ability to obtain one.
