Staff DevOps Engineer

The Role

Our organization builds the software platform for AI-enabled, software-defined vehicles. Our Korea engineering site is responsible for critical product delivery to major automotive OEMs. We are seeking a Staff DevOps Engineer based in Seoul to own and modernize the Korea site's on-premises infrastructure. This is a hands-on engineering role where you will be the primary infrastructure owner for the Korea site, working closely with the global Engineering Operations team to bring consistency and modern practices to a critical production environment.

What You'll Own

• On-premises build infrastructure — Own the Korea Jenkins controller and physical build agents. Manage capacity planning, server health, and reliability for the bare-metal servers that produce ECU firmware builds.
• Lab infrastructure and hardware integration — Own the integration between CI/CD pipelines and physical test hardware. Support board provisioning, health monitoring, and the automation that connects builds to hardware test execution.
• Storage and replication — Bring up and operate Pure Storage for build workspaces, artifact caching, and test output. Document and stabilize storage infrastructure.
• Infrastructure as Code migration — Lead the migration from manual server configuration to codified infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible.
• CI/CD pipeline support — Maintain and improve the Korea release automation pipelines.
• Monitoring and observability — Deploy monitoring for all Korea on-prem infrastructure.
• Datacenter operations — Own the physical environment for the Korea server room.

What You Bring

Requirements

• 8+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles, with significant time managing on-premises and bare-metal infrastructure.
