Build & Release Engineer

Physical Intelligence

Build & Release Engineer

As a Build & Release Engineer, you will own the infrastructure and developer platforms that underpin our engineering workflows. This includes GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines, Bazel build and test systems, cloud infrastructure, and Kubernetes services that allow engineers to ship reliably at scale.

This is a senior, hands-on infrastructure role focused on developer productivity, build reliability, and operational scale.

The Team

The Operations and Infrastructure teams support the real-world deployment and iteration of PI's robotics systems. They are responsible for the platforms, tooling, and cloud environments that enable engineers to build, test, and deploy reliably. This includes ownership of GitHub workflows, CI systems, and build tooling that sit directly on the critical path of development.

In This Role You Will

- CI/CD Ownership: Design and operate GitHub-based CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, checks, workflows) with a focus on reliability, speed, and signal quality.

- Build Systems: Own and evolve Bazel-based build and test infrastructure that supports C++, Python, Rust, and Typescript-based development.

- Infrastructure Engineering: Build and maintain Kubernetes-based services and cloud infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code.

- Automation & Self-Service: Replace manual release, provisioning, and access workflows with automated, GitHub-integrated systems.

- Reliability & Throughput: Reduce flaky builds, failed deploys, and CI bottlenecks that slow engineering velocity.

- Cross-Team Enablement: Partner with engineers across the stack to make builds, tests, and deploys predictable and fast.

What We Hope You'll Bring

- Strong experience operating GitHub-centric development workflows at scale.

- Deep familiarity with CI/CD systems and build reliability challenges.

- Experience with Bazel or similar large-scale build systems.

- Proficiency in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and Terraform.

- Strong instincts for developer experience and operational leverage.

Bonus Points If You Have

- Experience improving CI throughput for hundreds of engineers.

- Expertise in Bazel optimization (remote caching, test sharding, incremental builds).

- Security- or InfoSec-adjacent infrastructure automation.

- Background in internal developer productivity or platform teams.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
