What the job involves
- In this role as a Senior DevOps engineer, you will be working with our software engineering group to help our developers build, test, release, and deploy Simbe's various software stacks and manage the infrastructure it sits upon
- This role provides exciting and unique challenges not found in a conventional DevOps role as it involves not only managing our cloud-based platform but also our global fleet of autonomous robots
- Your primary objective will be to help our developers focus on building solutions for our customers rather than being distracted by the infrastructure that holds it up
- Take over DevOps responsibilities that currently are handled by our software developers including continuous integration + deployment, host configuration management, software packaging + hosting, server administration, third-party SaaS service administration, dealing with changes to upstream packages, authentication key management, and host network configuration
- Own Linux system administration and configuration management across all our cloud VMs and physical robot fleet
- Tighten security of our cloud and robots hosts by managing access controls via IAM and ACL policies, configuring network firewalls, management + rotation of authentication keys, deploying intrusion detection systems, and patching hosts
- Help monitor, optimize, and reduce cloud computing costs as we continue to scale exponentially
Our take
Inventory management has never been the highlight of working in retail - it's a task that often feels like a chore. However, given its nature as a large-scale data collection and management endeavour, it's undeniably ripe for automation. Something Simbe Robotics is taking advantage of through its autonomous shelf auditing and analytics solution.
Distinguishing itself from competitors through its focus on front-of-store operations. Its automation solution enables retail associates to maintain optimal stocking levels, ensure product placement accuracy, and display correct price tags, all while enhancing the overall shopping experience.
Its accomplishments over the past year, including servicing top global retailers and processing billions of shelf photos and product analyses, showcase the company's commitment to delivering real value in the retail sector. Along with recent funding under its belt, Simbe is poised to expand its presence in the retail industry, sharing its vision to enhance the retail experience through AI and robotics with more partners worldwide.
