DevOps Engineer

Are you tired of your good old corporate job, working on one project for half a year? Is your passion for making great infrastructure being kept in a box labeled “for later”? Do you enjoy working with smart people and do you want to make their developer experience great?

Zendar is looking for an experienced Dev Ops Engineer who understands engineering needs and can work with engineers to make their life easier and more productive. Our team is a testament of the ability to unite engineers of different backgrounds over a common vision. We do not shy away from reality and its limitations but we also dream big.

You don’t have to fit in a box. We are not looking for a superhero. But we might be looking for you!

Autonomous vehicles need to be able to understand the world around them not only in bright daylight, but also at night, when it is foggy or rainy, or when the sun is shining right in your face. At Zendar, we make this possible by developing the highest-resolution, most information-rich radar in the world.

What makes radar powerful - its long wavelength which makes it robust to all sorts of weather and lighting conditions - also makes it really challenging to work with. We have used our deep understanding of radar physics to build radar perception models that bring a rich and complete understanding of the environment around the AV from free space to object detections to road structure.

Check out what our technology can do here - all produced with only radar information, no camera and no lidar!

Zendar has a diverse and dynamic team of hardware, machine learning, signal processing and software engineers with a deep background in sensing technology. We have a global team of 60, distributed across our sites in Berkeley, Lindau (Germany), and Paris.

Zendar is backed by Tier-1 VCs, has raised more than $50M in funding and has established strong partnerships with industry leaders.

To support our growing team, we’re looking for a Dev Ops Engineer
. Dev Ops in a small company entails wearing many hats, supporting all the infrastructure, including IT, CI/CD, builds and testing, data uploads and Cloud interactions (Cloud support itself is handled by our MLOps team)!

You will be the second engineer on the Dev Ops team, working with our Senior Dev Ops Engineer, which means that you will not only have a lot of influence in shaping all of Dev Ops at Zendar, but also have a lot of learning opportunities and support. This role is perfect for someone who is comfortable managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously, enjoys interacting frequently with other engineers, and is opinionated about what to prioritize and how to build things.

    , ensuring they remain efficient and scalable as we grow.
• Build System and Dependency Management Support:
  • Work alongside the engineering team to manage dependencies and deploy updates to the build system, particularly focusing on CMake and Python dependency management tool chains.

• Ability to work from the office in Berkeley, CA, at least from Tuesday to Thursday.
• Engineering mindset and approach to Dev Ops - you want to design smart solutions, not only follow instructions.
• 2+ years in Infrastructure engineering, Dev Ops or similar
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD tools like Git Hub Actions and a solid understanding of deployment workflows.
• Familiarity with build orchestration technologies and dependency management tools, comfort with containerization (
  Docker
  ).
• Proficiency with Python and Bash.
• Comfort in managing IT in a small company (device management, user management and maintaining office network).
• A proactive approach to solving problems and willingness to take on new challenges as they arise.
• A fast learner who brings practical, goal‑oriented solutions and strong critical thinking to everyday challenges.

• Knowledge of Terraform and Ansible.
