Staff Software Engineer Infrastructure (Garage)

Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure (On-Prem)AeroVect is transforming ground handling with autonomy, redefining how airlines and ground service providers around the globe run day-to-day operations. We are a Series A company backed by top-tier venture capital investors in aviation and autonomous driving. Our customers include some of the world's largest airlines and ground handling providers.As a Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure (On-Prem), you will own the physical infrastructure that powers AeroVect's autonomous vehicle operations at our garage facilities. You'll manage the current garage computing setup and networking gear, oversee software delivery to our fleet of autonomous tractors, and build the on-prem data processing systems that handle real-world operational data — from dashcam image ingestion to on-site processing pipelines.This is a hands-on role operating at the intersection of systems software, embedded infrastructure, and physical networking. You'll work in a fast-paced, operationally dynamic environment where priorities shift with active vehicle deployments across live airport sectors. Your systems support operators and vehicles running in the field every day — this is not a ticket queue, it's an operational environment.You WillDevelop, configure and maintain uploaders and networking gear at AeroVect's garage facilitiesManage software release delivery to autonomous tractors and on-prem devices across active deployment sitesBuild and maintain on-prem data processing applications in C++ and Python that handle real-time operational dataEnsure reliable ingestion of vehicle data including dashcam images and telemetry, and manage upload flows to cloud infrastructureMaintain and improve an existing operator-facing UI layer that supports day-to-day garage operationsMonitor server health, network performance, and data pipeline reliability across on-prem systemsDevelop automation tools in Python and Bash to streamline on-prem operations, monitoring, and deployment workflowsCollaborate with the cloud infrastructure team to ensure clean data handoff between on-prem and cloud systemsAdapt quickly to shifting operational priorities across active deployment environmentsYou HaveBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field7+ years of experience managing on-prem infrastructure, bare metal systems, and physical networking environmentsProficiency in C++ for building data processing applications — standard library, basic multithreading, socket and WebSocket implementationStrong proficiency in Python and Bash for automation, tooling, and operational scriptingHands-on experience physically configuring servers/computers and network hardwareExperience managing software deployment pipelines to physical devices or embedded systemsFamiliarity with data ingestion pipelines and managing data flows from edge devices to centralized infrastructureAbility to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment with shifting operational prioritiesWe PreferExperience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or operationally deployed technology environmentsBackground in embedded systems or edge computing with C++ data processing applicationsExperience supporting operator-facing tools or lightweight UI components for operational systemsFamiliarity with WebSocket and socket-based communication for real-time data applicationsKnowledge of monitoring and alerting for on-prem systems and network infrastructureROS/ROS2 familiarity or experience with robotic software deployment pipelines AeroVect
