Staff/Senior Staff Software Engineer - Build & Release

Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential. About The Role Join the team building a modern Software Delivery System system focused on tooling, automation, reliability, and secure software delivery at scale, powering enterprise-grade, next-generation industrial humanoid robotics. As a Staff/Senior Staff Software Engineer – Build Release, you will drive systems that accelerate our software development lifecycle across the company. Define how software is built, validated, and delivered across robotics, cloud, firmware, and simulation. Safeguard the reliability, safety, and security of release systems at scale. You will join a rapidly growing team, equipping robotics, cloud, and test engineering teams with essential tools, systems, and processes to build and deploy robot and edge software efficiently and safely. This role sits at the intersection of: CI/CD and release automation Reliability engineering Software supply chain security Policy-driven delivery systems Design and operate mechanisms that ensure releases are deterministic, traceable, safe, observable, compliant, and routine—even as engineering velocity and system complexity increase. Key Responsibilities Vision Ownership Design, implement, and advance a modern release engineering system for safe, reliable, low-friction delivery across robots, cloud, and edge. Own tools, processes, and standards for secure, observable, high-confidence code-to-production deployment systems. Define and drive adoption of versioning, artifact, and promotion standards across the organization. Collaboration Standardization Collaborate with Software, Hardware, Quality, Security, and Product teams. Establish scalable release workflows and delivery standards. Transform requirements into automated, policy-driven delivery systems that infuse reliability, security, and compliance throughout the SDLC. Establish and scale self-service “golden paths” for build, test, and release. Execution System Evolution Own and evolve build and release systems (e.g., Bazel, CI/CD pipelines) for performance, scalability, determinism, and artifact integrity. Create self-service tooling for release creation, versioning, and deployment orchestration. Manage build and release systems as production infrastructure. Establish SLIs/SLOs and maintain strong observability. Advance quality, safety, and security with automated testing. Enforce policy-based gates and validate artifacts. Technical Leadership (Core Responsibility) Act as the technical authority for release engineering, guiding how software is built and delivered across the company Drive adoption of standardized release patterns and practices across teams. Lead cross-functional design and decision-making. Establish and refine release principles and guardrails (determinism, traceability, auditability, safety). What We’re Aiming For A one-touch, self-service CI/CD and release platform that enables safe, reliable, and repeatable delivery of robot, edge, and cloud software at scale. A deterministic, traceable, and auditable software delivery system where every build and release is reproducible, policy-driven, and compliant by default. A build and test infrastructure that autoscales and matches developer demand, with clearly defined SLOs for performance, reliability, and turnaround time. Standardized build, versioning, and artifact management across all teams, supporting diverse targets and environments without fragmentation. Integrated, multi-layer validation systems (simulation, HIL, integration, and release gating) that provide high-confidence signals for safe deployment. Required Qualifications 8+ ...
