Senior Platform Engineer

At Oxa, we're building the future of Industrial Mobile Autonomy (IMA) and are in the market for new talent. Oxa’s customers are the operators of some of the world's largest industrial facilities. Our technology transforms existing industrial vehicles into intelligent autonomous fleets, unlocking new levels of productivity, safety, and performance.

This towing task happens in complex, commerce-critical industrial environments. Here, having self-driving technology “do the driving” delivers immediate, measurable impact. IMA will revolutionise the movement of goods across the world's ports, airports, and yards.

Our Products:

• Oxa Ware – Our modular autonomy hardware systems for consistent and repeatable integration of autonomy with existing vehicles.
• Oxa Driver – Our Physical AI, embodied in Oxa Ware, self-driving software that enables vehicles to perceive, reason, and drive autonomously in complex real-world environments.
• Oxa Foundry – Our development toolchain that leverages generative AI to continuously train and assure Oxa Driver, synthesising situations and sensor data.
• Oxa Hub – Our suite of cloud services for monitoring, managing and orchestrating fleets driven by Oxa Driver, including an API for integration with existing logistics systems.

Behind these technologies is our exceptional team, the Oxbots. We are home to some of the world's leading experts in autonomous systems, robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and distributed software engineering. Together, we're solving some of the hardest technical challenges in autonomy, turning the research and development we do into production and deploying it into environments.

The Role:

Joining us as a Senior Platform Engineer, you will be working in our “Platform Engineering” team. You will focus on the design and development of solutions for a range of products and projects. Alongside this you will:

• Work in engineering teams to design systems for operability, whilst thinking about how we will manage, update, and monitor those systems in production.
• Review and improve existing solutions. Ensuring we continuously raise the bar on operability, including security, reliability, and scale.
• Work closely with stream-aligned teams to provide expertise and support for the implementation and management of their environments.

Requirements:

• Strong experience with installing, configuring, and managing Linux environments.
• Strong experience with infrastructure as code, such as Terraform.
• Strong experience with cloud, such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Strong experience with building and maintaining CI/CD systems.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to a variety of technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with containerisation and container orchestration, such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with architecting, maintaining, and building efficient, cost-effective scalable infrastructure.
• A solid understanding of DevOps principles and methodologies.

Extra kudos if you have:

• Experience with GCP‑specific Kubernetes/GKE at scale, especially with GPU‑based workloads.
• Experience with enforcing security best practice in line with compliance requirements.
• Experience with CNCF tooling, such as ArgoCD, ArgoWorkflows, Kyverno, Kueue/MultiKueue, KEDA.
• Experience in mentoring others throughout the organisation.

Your Interview Experience:

Our interview process is designed to give you every chance to get the measure of us, and us of you. You will join three stages which will give you every opportunity to show your strengths and qualities, via scenario-based questions and technical exercises.
