Location:

We are looking for a hands-on Build and Release Engineer with some experience in embedded systems, build automation, and infrastructure setup from scratch. The ideal candidate has a solid grasp of source code compilation using Makefiles, gcc/g++ and can make minor modifications to C/C++ code when needed during build or release processes.

You will be responsible for designing and maintaining robust build and release pipelines, managing daily/weekly releases, and collaborating closely with embedded engineers to support automated flashing, image deployment, and board-level setup. This is a highly technical role that bridges software engineering and infrastructure automation in Linux-based environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set up and maintain a complete build and release infrastructure from scratch using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions
• Build software from source using Makefiles, gcc, g++, and manage cross-compilation for embedded targets
• Make minor modifications to C/C++ source code when required for successful builds or release integration
• Apply patches or MRs, resolve merge conflicts, generate build artifacts, and ensure reproducible, version-controlled releases
• Manage and execute daily, nightly, and weekly release cycles, ensuring stability, automation, and traceability
• Collaborate with embedded engineers to support automated flashing, image deployment, and assist in board-level testing/setup as part of the release workflow
• Maintain and optimize Git repositories, including tagging strategies, branching workflows, and release tagging
• Develop and maintain automation scripts using Bash, Python, or Groovy to support build and release processes
• Troubleshoot build issues and collaborate with development and QA teams to ensure timely, reliable software delivery
• Create and manage containerised solutions using Docker and AWS services (Fargate, ECS, EKS, AWS Batch)

Basic Qualifications:

• 4-6 years of hands-on experience as a Build and Release Engineer
• Proven experience in setting up infrastructure from scratch (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub)
• Deep understanding of source code building, especially using Makefiles, gcc and g++
• Must understand and be able to make small changes to C/C++ source code as needed during builds or release fixes
• Experience in applying patches, managing merge requests, and delivering production-ready releases
• Experience with embedded development workflows, including flashing automation and release packaging
• Strong Git expertise, including use of LFS, submodules, tags, and branching strategies
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, or Groovy
• Comfortable working in Linux-based environments

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with AOSP builds and embedded Linux environments
• Hands-on experience with distributed systems and large-scale deployments
• Background in designing and deploying production-grade software solutions
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies
