• Architect and deploy test environments to validate internal and customer-facing infrastructure solutions.
• Automate deployment, scaling, and upgrading of our remote monitoring software to ensure operational efficiency.
• Perform ongoing analysis of infrastructure performance, identifying opportunities for optimization in latency, throughput, and reliability.

• 5+ years of experience in a related role such as Site Reliability Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or Infrastructure Engineer.
• Strong knowledge of networking fundamentals, including protocols, troubleshooting, and optimization.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and related ecosystem tools (e.g., Docker Compose, Kaniko).
• Expertise in Kubernetes deployments and package management via Helm.
• Proficiency with relational and time-series databases (e.g., Postgres, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB).
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools such as Argo and Airflow.
• Proven experience managing upgrades and rollbacks for customer-facing SaaS environments.

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy.  By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
