Overview

Join 42dot as a Senior Platform Engineer powering the build delivery and cloud transition of our Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) platform and autonomous driving tools. Working within a small senior R&D team operating across multiple time zones you will own two equally important missions: keep our developer and CI environments world-class today and lead the migration of our virtual vehicle development platform from local Docker deployments to a hosted multi-tenant cloud offering tomorrow. Your work will determine how fast our engineers iterate now and how confidently our partners consume the platform as a hosted product in the years ahead.

Role and Responsibilities

• Lead the migration of the MetaSDV platform from local Docker-based developer deployments to a hosted multi-tenant cloud offering.

• Operate the cloud platform: capacity planning SLOs on-call rotation cost discipline backup and disaster recovery partner-grade reliability.

• Implement and maintain security and compliance controls: tenant isolation audit logging secret and certificate lifecycle identity boundaries across developer CI and partner-facing environments.

• Own build and release engineering end-to-end: multi-layer containerized dev and CI environment GitLab CI/CD pipelines compiler caches (sccache and similar) multi-architecture builds (x8664 ARM including embedded targets and CI runners) nightly and versioned artifact publishing offline distribution packages container registry hygiene.

• Maintain test and observability infrastructure: containerized E2E integration and performance/load test suites; logs metrics traces dashboards; hardware-in-the-loop adjacent runners (RENODE-based MCU emulation etc.).

• Provision and operate partner-facing instances of the platform: access management environment lifecycle and integration support during partner onboarding.

• Champion developer experience and cross-team alignment: one-command local environments reproducible builds fast feedback loops and ongoing collaboration with engineers architects and technical leads to align infrastructure with product roadmap and partner integration timelines.
