We combine 3D computer vision, state estimation and AI to help autonomous platforms perceive their surroundings, know where they are and operate when GPS and other sensors become unreliable. Defence is a core application of our work today.\nWe are growing to a team of 100+ people. Join at a stage where you can shape our Software Platform team, help build the team and grow your responsibilities as the company expands.\nOur founding team's research has received more than 90,000 citations. You will work closely with technical founders and engineers with deep experience in computer vision and autonomous systems, turning that research depth into systems that work in the field.\nAbout the Role\nAs Senior Systems & Infrastructure Engineer, you'll be a founding member of our new Software Platform team and own everything infrastructure apart from cybersecurity: software distribution to our platforms, device provisioning, networks, our compute cluster and CI. You'll work on-site in Munich alongside our cybersecurity engineer and the CV, robotics and firmware teams, with occasional visits to our second site.\nWhat You'll Work On\nOver-the-Air Updates: Unify our separate update and software distribution setups for Jetson, NXP and other edge nodes into one reliable system for every platform.\n\nDevice Provisioning: Provision, configure and maintain Linux-based edge devices, workstations and ground systems, including ARM64 platforms.\n\nDeployment Automation: Build reproducible container images, deployments, device configuration, release workflows and recovery procedures, with Bash and Python tooling.\n\nNetworks & Remote Access: Design and troubleshoot connectivity across networked and remote devices, including routing, SSH, VPNs, firewalls and constrained field links.\n\nCompute Cluster & CI: Make our GPU compute and evaluation cluster and self-hosted CI runners reliable, so engineers can depend on them without manual recovery.\n\nMonitoring & Documentation: Improve monitoring, service availability, security hygiene and operational documentation, working closely with our cybersecurity engineer.\n\nEngineering Standards: Set the infrastructure standards our teams follow, and support firmware, robotics, CV and test teams in the lab and the field.\n\nYour Profile\nYou take ownership across many areas at once and enjoy covering several roles in a small team, from planning a system to fixing it by hand.\n\nYou hold a degree in Computer Science or a closely related field.\n\nYou bring around five years of hands-on experience in infrastructure, DevOps or Linux systems engineering, ideally in a small IT or platform team, and you can point to real systems you built and ran.\n\nYou have distributed and updated software across large fleets of devices, whether laptops, servers or embedded systems.\n\nYou have strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills, write reliable Bash and Python automation, and understand your systems well enough to catch the edge cases tools miss.\n\nYou can debug IP networks end to end, including routing, DNS, SSH, VPNs and firewalls, and you're experienced with Docker and container deployment.\n\nYou speak fluent English; German is a plus. Given the nature of SE3's work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to work on defence-related projects and, where required, obtain the relevant security clearance.\n\nEspecially Valued Bonus Skills\nEmbedded Linux on NVIDIA Jetson or NXP, Yocto/BSP, flashing or hardware bring-up.\n\nGPU compute clusters, Slurm or Kubernetes, and self-hosted GitHub Actions runners.\n\nInfrastructure automation or observability with Ansible, Terraform, Prometheus or Grafana.\n\nROS 2/DDS, MAVLink or field robotics.\n\nInvolvement in technical student groups or societies during university.\n\nPerks & Benefits\nReal Ownership: Participate in SE3's growth through our employee participation programme\n\nWork Environment to Excel at: Find a high-quality and modern toolset, flat hierarchy and a skilled, driven team which will push the limits together with you\n\nAI-boosted workplace: We empower every employee with best-in-class AI tools and agents, giving you unlimited access to the latest advancements and a true productivity edge\n\n31 Paid Days Off: 30 vacation days plus your birthday off\n\nWell-being Access: Free membership to gyms, yoga, and wellness through EGYM Wellpass\n\nTeam Offsites: We go on 2 company retreats per year, our last ones were in Italy and Greece\n\nMentorship: Work closely with experienced engineers and get paired with a professional mentor to support your growth\n\nOur Process\nIntro Call (30 min): Let's get to know each other.\n\nTechnical Interview (60 min): We discuss software distribution, networking and how you approach problems across a broad infrastructure stack.\n\nOn-site Interviews: Meet engineers from our CV, robotics and platform teams and work through real infrastructure scenarios together.\n\nTeam Dinner / Lunch: Meet the team and see whether it is a strong fit on both sides.\n\nEqual Opportunity\nSE3 is an equal-opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. All qualified candidates will be considered for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected under applicable law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5636,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Computer Vision","Information Security","Navigation & Mapping","Drone AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T13:31:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/se3-labs-senior-systems-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/se3-labs-senior-systems-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T01:08:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2509,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":687743},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687743"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fse3-labs-senior-systems-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fse3-labs-senior-systems-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fse3-labs-senior-systems-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/se3-labs-senior-systems-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fse3-labs-senior-systems-infrastructure-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3746297}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"se3.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3746297},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
