Lead the Platform & SRE team to design and operate a unified deployment platform spanning cloud and on-premise. Architect Pulumi/Kubernetes-based deployments, package software for industrial hardware, build GitHub Actions CI/CD (including HIL), and define observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and OIDC.
At Kerrigan Robotics, we aren’t just adding more "iron" to the factory floor; we’re building the intelligence that brings it all to life. As an AI-powered, robot-agnostic orchestration platform, we bridge the gap between high-level software and complex physical hardware, harmonizing everything from humanoids and drones to legacy ERP and WMS systems. Our team’s pedigree is rooted in scaling the impossible, having first proven our mettle at Tesla by scaling $5B worth of equipment and thousands of robots globally before achieving seamless multi-branded integration for Rivian’s fleet and lineside controls. While the rest of the industry focuses on building individual robots, we are operationalizing heterogeneous automation at scale slashing production ramp-up times by 70% and making enterprise level expansion feel effortless. If you’re ready to turn fragmented data into harmonious communication and help make the future of manufacturing simpler, more reliable, and truly unified, your next challenge starts here.
The Role
As the Engineering Lead for Platform, you own the “how” of our delivery. You bridge the gap
between code and runtime, ensuring our systems are deployable anywhere—from an
ephemeral cloud cluster for a sales demo to a ruggedized Industrial PC (IPC) on a factory floor.
You will build the foundation that enables both internal developers and external customers to
move fast and with confidence.
Key Responsibilities
● Hybrid Infrastructure: Architect a unified deployment model using Pulumi and
Kubernetes that spans AWS/GCP/Azure and on-premise bare metal.
● Turnkey Hardware: Lead the effort to package our software into hardware solutions
(Industrial PCs and rack-based deployments).
● CI/CD Leadership: Build next-gen pipelines in GitHub Actions that handle complex
builds, including future Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
● Reliability: Define the observability and operation standards (Prometheus, Grafana, OIDC)
for our "Application Cells."
Requirements
● Experience: 5+ years in SRE/DevOps
● K8s Mastery: Deep knowledge of K8s internals, CNIs, and multi-cluster management.
● Automation: Expert in Pulumi or Terraform, and Helm.
● Systems Thinking: Proficiency in Go and a strong grasp of Linux networking and
certificate management.
● Edge Knowledge: Experience with "Edge" or on-premise software delivery is a massive
plus.
The base pay range for this role is $175,000 – $215,000 per year.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
