Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers - tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.
About The Role
Join the team building a modern Software Delivery System focused on secure, high throughput software delivery at scale - powering enterprise-grade, next-generation industrial humanoid robotics.
Every Digit we build, and every update that reaches production, passes through systems Infrastructure Release Engineering owns: the Bazel build system and CI runner platform our developers work in, the test platforms that gate every hardware and software release, the manufacturing software our production line runs on, and the release machine that delivers software over the air to a growing fleet.
We are hiring across this domain at multiple levels and in multiple locations. The software development organization is growing fast, and the platform has to scale with it - handling thousands of pull requests a day - keeping factory software in lockstep with what runs in the field. What we plan to build is orders of magnitude greater than what already exists - you get to shape critical systems in this unique product line.
This role sits at the intersection of:
- Build and CI platform engineering at organizational scale
- Test platforms that run component- and whole-robot-scale testing, serving as the enforcement point for hardware and software release gates
- Manufacturing and fleet software delivery - provisioning through over-the-air update
Key Responsibilities
The list below spans every track and level we are hiring for - specific ownership depends on your background and primary location.
- Test Infrastructure & CI Reliability: Build and own the platforms that run testing at component and whole-robot scale - runner capacity, test compute, hardware-in-the-loop benches, and flaky-test reliability - enforcing hardware and software release gates, not just software CI.
- Manufacturing & Line Software: Keep manufacturing and validation software in versioned parity with production robot software, own the test infrastructure it runs on, and automate the workflows and monitoring that keep on-call light as the line scales.
- Release & Fleet Delivery: Run provisioning and over-the-air update as one continuous, auditable pipeline - staged rollout, signed provenance, auto-rollback - and carry release and fleet on-call.
- Collaboration & Standardization: Drive adoption of build, test, and release standards across engineering teams, and work directly with robot software, firmware, manufacturing, test, security, and cloud teams to create clarity where ownership is ambiguous.
What We're Aiming For
- A CI platform that absorbs organizational growth without capacity firefighting - handling thousands of pull requests a day, core loop under 10 minutes, full pipeline under 20 minutes.
- A trustworthy signal - test flakes quarantined with owners and expiry dates, main branch kept green against a published SLO.
- Manufacturing software in parity with production, and provisioning/OTA managed as one auditable pipeline with signed provenance end to end.
Required Qualifications
- Professional software or infrastructure engineering experience with demonstrated ownership at your level - 2+ years for mid-level scope, 5+ years for senior scope.
- Strong proficiency in Python and real fluency on Linux systems.
- Hands-on ownership of infrastructure other engineers depend on: CI, build, test, release, or manufacturing and lab tooling.
- Hands-on experience with physical, on-prem infrastructure - manufacturing line stations, lab benches, or similar hardware you can walk up to - not purely cloud or remote-only tooling.
- Demonstrated experience turning ad-hoc scripts or manual processes into versioned, tested, maintainable systems.
- Debugging instincts and communication that hold up across functional teams - engineering, manufacturing, and test.
- Authorization to work in the USA.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with Bazel or a comparable build system, remote execution/caching (EngFlow or equivalent), and test-impact selection.
- Robotics, embedded, or hardware-in-the-loop experience, including cross-platform targets (ARM, Jetson, Linux BSPs, firmware).
- Experience in manufacturing or lab environments: test benches, end-of-line test, MES or traceability databases, device provisioning, PKI, or secure/measured boot.
- Experience with Kubernetes, Datadog, Artifactory, and GitHub Actions at production scale.
Locations
- Fremont, CA - Hybrid. Integration testing, close to the robot hardware.
- Salem, OR - Hybrid. Manufacturing, at our validation line.
- Pittsburgh, PA - Hybrid. Integration testing, close to the robot hardware.
All openings on this posting are hybrid, based at one of these three offices - there is no fully remote option. Please specify your location preference, and we will work out the best fit for your background during the hiring-manager screen.
Why This Role?
- Build the foundation: Every line of code shipped to Digit flows through the systems you own. You'll close the scale gap before the load arrives.
- Zero-to-one + scale: You arrive before the patterns calcify.
- Define the standards: Your decisions become the defaults the organization operates on.
- High-trust culture: Collaborate directly with robotics, firmware, security, manufacturing, and cloud engineering teams across a distributed Infrastructure org.
The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This range may change based on geographical location and may be modified in the future. Anticipated Salary Range
$175,000 - $274,000 USD
