About Us
STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.
We’re focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems - not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe - today.
About the team
Your mission
As a vital member of our Infra & DevSecOps team, you aren't just managing servers - you are the architect of the technical bridge between software, firmware, and physical infrastructure. You will ensure our autonomous stack compiles, deploys, and operates flawlessly across edge devices, microcontrollers, and cloud systems.
Your work will directly impact the reliability and scalability of our embedded autonomy infrastructure deployed across air, land, and sea systems.
Responsibilities
- Create and refine GitLab CI/CD pipelines tailored for cross-compiled and embedded builds.
- Facilitate automated build-test-deploy processes across on-premises edge hardware and GCP.
- Establish secure and traceable software delivery by applying DevSecOps principles to edge computing.
- Oversee artifact lifecycles and multi-architecture containerisation strategies using OCI and Docker.
- Develop and maintain build and deployment scripts.
- Collaborate with firmware and electronics teams to integrate and test microcontrollers, sensor boards, and autopilot hardware.
- Build and maintain secure links between on-premises infrastructure and GCP.
- Integrate on-premises identity providers with GCP IAM and implement Zero Trust principles.
- Orchestrate the transition of cloud workloads to on-premises infrastructure.
- Manage egress costs and minimise latency between the data centre and cloud regions.
