Role Summary:
Sonatus builds the software platform for AI-enabled, software-defined vehicles. Our engineering teams produce firmware and system images that run on physical automotive hardware — ECUs, and evaluation boards — not cloud microservices. We are looking for a Sr. Staff DevOps Engineer to own and modernize the global lab infrastructure that makes this work possible: bare-metal build servers, enterprise storage, lab networking, and the automation layer that ties it all together across three sites (Sunnyvale, Seoul, and Dublin).
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will define the infrastructure-as-code strategy for an environment that currently runs on manual processes, build the observability and automation that replaces reactive firefighting, and mentor an existing team into modern DevOps engineering practices. You will be the technical authority for how our physical infrastructure is provisioned, configured, monitored, and scaled.
Responsibilities:
Build infrastructure reliability — Own the availability, performance, and capacity planning for bare-metal Jenkins controllers and build agents across three global lab sites. These are rack servers, managed switches, and NFS storage arrays — real hardware that builds real firmware.
Infrastructure as Code — Lead the migration from manual configuration to codified infrastructure. Terraform for provisioning, Ansible for configuration management. The current baseline is zero IaC — you will design the target state and the migration path to get there.
Hybrid networking — Own the lab network layer: VLANs, internal DNS zone administration, VPN and Transit Gateway connectivity between sites, and lab-to-cloud routing. You will be the person who understands how packets move between a build agent in Sunnyvale and a test board in Seoul.
Storage architecture — Design and operate the NFS storage layer (Pure Storage FlashArray) for build workspaces, artifact caching, and test output persistence. Define the policy layer: volume provisioning, snapshot strategy, capacity alerting, and lifecycle management.
CI/CD platform infrastructure — Own the platform that pipelines run on: agent provisioning, credential management, controller health, and capacity planning. You share ownership of pipeline architecture with the DevOps Manager and existing staff, but the infrastructure underneath is yours.
Observability — Instrument the build and lab infrastructure with OpenTelemetry. Define SLOs, build dashboards, and create alerting that replaces the current model of "someone notices it's broken."
Hardware test infrastructure — Contribute to the strategy for board reservation, ECU test automation, and the integration points between CI/CD pipelines and physical test hardware.
Requirements:
- 10+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, with meaningful time spent on physical and bare-metal infrastructure — not exclusively cloud-native environments
- Infrastructure as Code — Deep hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible (or equivalent provisioning and configuration management tools). You've migrated environments from manual to codified, not just maintained existing IaC
- Linux systems administration — You can debug a production server over SSH: networking, storage, process management, systemd, log analysis. This is a daily skill, not a resume line
- CI/CD platform administration — Experience operating Jenkins at scale (multiple controllers, distributed agents, shared libraries) or equivalent enterprise CI/CD platform. You understand the platform layer, not just pipeline syntax
- Enterprise networking — Working knowledge of VLANs, DNS administration (BIND, dnsmasq, or similar), VPN and site-to-site connectivity, and how lab networks integrate with cloud environments
- Mentorship — Demonstrated ability to drive adoption of engineering practices across a team. You've raised the floor, not just the ceiling
- Multi-site operations — Experience working across geographically distributed infrastructure with different local constraints
Nice to Have:
- NFS or SAN storage administration (Pure Storage, NetApp, or similar enterprise arrays)
- Embedded systems build toolchains (Yocto, Bazel, cross-compilation environments)
- Observability stack experience (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana)
- Automotive, robotics, or hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure
Sunnyvale HQ Benefits & Perks Offered:
- Health care plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
- Flexible and Dependent Care Expense program
- Retirement plan (401k)
- Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
- Unlimited paid time off per year, 14+ paid holidays
- Hybrid office work arrangement
- Complimentary lunches, snacks, and beverages during on-site working days
- Wellness benefit allowance
- Phone & Internet reimbursement
- Computer Accessory Allowance

Own the NFS layer and multi-site replication between Korea, Sunnyvale, and Dublin. Document and stabilize storage infrastructure that currently has single-person dependencies.
Infrastructure as Code migration — Lead the migration from manual server configuration to codified infrastructure. Terraform for provisioning, Ansible for configuration management. The Korea site currently has zero IaC — you will design the target state and execute the migration without disrupting active builds.
CI/CD pipeline support — Maintain and improve the Korea release automation pipelines (Jenkins shared libraries, Groovy-based release workflows). Partner with the global CI/CD team on consolidation and standardization efforts while ensuring Korea-specific build and release requirements are met.
Monitoring and observability — Deploy monitoring (Nagios, Prometheus/Grafana, or equivalent) for all Korea on-prem infrastructure: build servers, storage arrays, network equipment, and lab hardware. Replace the current model of "someone notices it's broken" with proactive alerting and dashboards.
Datacenter operations — Own the physical environment for the Korea server room: coordinate with facilities on power and cooling constraints, manage rack layouts, and plan capacity for future hardware deployments.
What You Bring
Requirements
- 15+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, with significant time managing on-premises and bare-metal infrastructure — not exclusively cloud-native environments
- Linux systems administration — You debug production servers over SSH daily: networking, storage, process management, systemd, log analysis
- On-premises infrastructure — Hands-on experience with physical servers, rack management, storage arrays (NFS/SAN), and datacenter operations including power, cooling, and capacity planning
- CI/CD platform administration — Experience operating Jenkins at scale (distributed agents, shared libraries, credential management) or equivalent enterprise CI/CD platform

That’s why leading OEMs trust Sonatus to accelerate this shift. Our technology is already in production across more than 6 million vehicles on the road today and rapidly expanding.
Headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, with 250+ employees worldwide, Sonatus combines the agility of a fast-growing company with the scale and impact of an established partner. Backed by strong funding and proven by global deployment, we’re solving some of the most interesting and complex challenges in the industry. Join us and help redefine what’s possible as we shape the future of mobility.
Role Summary:
Sonatus builds the software platform for AI-enabled, software-defined vehicles. Our CI/CD platform serves over 200 repositories across three product lines, producing firmware that ships to automotive OEMs. We are looking for a Sr. Staff DevOps Engineer to own the delivery platform: CI/CD pipelines, release automation, artifact management, build tooling, and the instrumentation that tells us whether it's all working.
Today, our delivery infrastructure is fragmented — multiple Jenkins instances configured by hand, release processes driven by ad-hoc scripts, and no unified metrics on how software moves from commit to customer. You will consolidate this into a unified, codified, observable delivery platform. You think in terms of systems, supply chains, and feedback loops — not individual pipelines.
Responsibilities:
CI/CD platform architecture — Own the consolidation and evolution of multiple Jenkins instances into a unified, configuration-as-code managed platform. Drive the migration strategy across Jenkins and GitHub Actions for 200+ repositories. Design shared pipeline libraries and patterns that scale across product lines without fragmenting into per-team forks.
Release engineering — Own the release tooling and automation for multi-product releases spanning three hardware platforms and multiple automotive customers. Tagging, branching, config generation, and customer artifact delivery. The current toolchain is functional but brittle — your job is to make releases reliable, repeatable, and auditable.
Artifact lifecycle management — Own the Artifactory platform (JFrog SaaS): repository structure, retention policies, token lifecycle, build promotion from staging to release, and customer-facing distribution. You manage the full artifact flow from build output to customer delivery.
Build tooling and reproducibility — Own the build system architecture across three divergent toolchains: Bazel for hermetic static builds, CMake for the embedded monorepo, and Yocto for custom embedded distributions. Drive toward reproducible, cacheable, fast builds regardless of the underlying toolchain.
Security scanning integration — Own the integration of static analysis (Coverity) and software composition analysis (BlackDuck) into CI/CD pipelines. Automate scan scheduling, report generation, and quality gate enforcement to meet automotive compliance requirements (ESIR-ISIR).
CI/CD observability and DORA metrics — Instrument the delivery pipeline with OpenTelemetry. Define and measure the four DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery. Build dashboards that make delivery health visible. Own the 30-minute build SLO.
Software supply chain — Own dependency management, credential lifecycle, artifact provenance, and the path toward SBOM generation. Eliminate manual credential management and single-person dependencies from the delivery pipeline. Every artifact should be traceable from the source commit to customer delivery.
Requirements:
- 10+ years in DevOps, SRE, or release engineering, with hands-on ownership of CI/CD platforms at scale — not just pipeline authoring, but platform architecture, reliability, and evolution
- CI/CD platform expertise — Deep experience with Jenkins (multi-controller, shared libraries, JCasC, distributed agents) or equivalent enterprise CI/CD platform. You've operated the platform, not just consumed it
- Release engineering — You have owned or built release automation for a multi-product software organization. You understand branching strategies, semantic versioning, promotion workflows, and customer delivery mechanics
- Artifact management — Experience with JFrog Artifactory, Nexus, or similar. You've designed repository structures, managed token lifecycles, and implemented retention policies at scale
- Infrastructure as Code mindset — Terraform or equivalent for managing platform configuration as code. You treat configuration drift as a bug. Jenkins configured through a UI is a problem to solve, not a steady state
- Observability and instrumentation — You have implemented DORA metrics, build SLOs, or equivalent delivery pipeline instrumentation. Experience with Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar stacks
- Software supply chain awareness — Dependency management, credential hygiene, security scanning integration (SAST/SCA), and the principles behind reproducible builds. You understand why "it works on the build server" is not acceptable
Nice to Have:
- GitHub Actions at scale (ARC self-hosted runners, OIDC authentication, org-wide reusable workflows)
- Embedded build toolchains (Bazel, Yocto, CMake cross-compilation)
- Automotive compliance experience (ESIR-ISIR, ASPICE, MISRA)
- Experience migrating or consolidating legacy CI/CD infrastructure into modern platforms
Sunnyvale HQ Benefits & Perks Offered:
- Health care plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
- Flexible and Dependent Care Expense program
- Retirement plan (401k)
- Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
- Unlimited paid time off per year, 14+ paid holidays
- Hybrid office work arrangement
- Complimentary lunches, snacks, and beverages during on-site working days
