Role Overview:

Intramotev is seeking a motivated DevOps Engineer to join the software engineering team to support the development of autonomous, self-propelled rail vehicles.

• Infrastructure Maintenance: Manage internal server and cloud infrastructure to ensure availability and performance for the engineering team.

• Tooling Integration: Standardize and integrate internally built engineering tools to streamline development workflows.

• Test Automation: Maintain and extend automated testing frameworks within the pipeline, working with software engineers to expand coverage.

• Lifecycle Support: Help diagnose and resolve infrastructure and deployment issues for fielded systems.

• Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: Document existing systems, capture institutional knowledge from the engineers who built them, and establish sustainable operational practices.

Why Join Us?

• Career Growth: Take a system that's been someone's side project and grow it into your own area of ownership in a forward-thinking company transforming rail technology.

• Innovative Environment: Contribute to groundbreaking projects that bridge the past and future of rail transport.

• Impactful Work: Be a key player in creating solutions that promote a more sustainable and efficient rail network.
