Internship Docker Developer Jobs in Cape Cod, MA

We're redefining how robots are deployed. Our platform enables users to simulate, test, and optimize entire robotic systems in parallel. By removing the barriers that have kept advanced robotics out of reach for all but the largest players, we're ushering in a new era of manufacturing—one where mass reshoring is not only viable, but inevitable.

Reporting to the Director of Platform Engineering, the Build Infrastructure Engineer will help develop and operate the systems that power our engineering organization. This includes CI/CD infrastructure, developer tooling, build environments, test automation infrastructure, and internal compute systems used by robotics and software teams.

This role is ideal for an early-career engineer or recent graduate interested in infrastructure, developer productivity, automation, and large-scale software systems. You do not need prior experience in every technology we use — we are looking for someone with strong technical fundamentals, curiosity, and a desire to learn complex systems.

You will work closely with experienced software, robotics, and platform engineers to improve how software is built, tested, packaged, and deployed across the company. The role includes hands-on work with Linux systems, CI pipelines, Docker environments, Python tooling, and C++ build systems.

This is a highly collaborative, hands-on engineering role focused on improving the daily workflow and productivity of development teams.

• Support and improve CI/CD systems and developer workflows using GitLab CI
• Help maintain and optimize build and test infrastructure for robotics software
• Troubleshoot build failures, test instability, infrastructure issues, and developer environment problems
• Develop automation and internal tooling using Python and scripting languages
• Support Linux-based development and test systems
• Work with containerized environments using Docker
• Assist with C++ build, packaging, and dependency management workflows
• Support internal compute infrastructure, virtualization systems, and lab environments
• Collaborate with engineering teams to improve reliability, performance, and developer productivity
• Help maintain secure engineering infrastructure practices
• Support engineering compliance initiatives including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 efforts
• Evaluate and support developer productivity tools, including AI-assisted development tooling
