Your mission & challenges
About the role
The Group’s IT department has over 20 members and provides support to more than 1,200 users. You’ll join the parent company’s IT team of 10 people, working alongside two Linux Admins, as well as collaborating closely with both the robotics and DevOps teams.
Our engineering teams build robots — and the infrastructure they depend on starts with you. As a Linux Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll own the Ubuntu desktop fleet that engineers, developers, and researchers rely on every day. You’ll join a well-staffed and growing IT team, working alongside fellow Linux Admins, with close ties to both the robotics and DevOps teams — making your work directly visible in what gets built.
