\nAbout Cyngn \nBased in Menlo Park, CA, Cyngn is a publicly traded autonomous vehicle company. Whether at a warehouse floor, mine, or construction site, our self-driving technology can be deployed in various commercial domains across various vehicle form factors. To build this emergent technology, we seek innovative, motivated, and experienced leaders to join our team and move this field forward. If you like to build, tinker, and create with a team of trusted and passionate colleagues, then Cyngn is the place for you. Key reasons to join Cyngn: \n\n\nWe are Small and Big. \nWith under 100 employees, Cyngn is still a company that operates with the energy of a startup. On the other hand, we are publicly traded. Combined, our employees not only work in close-knit teams with close mentorship from company leaders, but they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly traded equity. This gives our small team the opportunity to make a big impact in industries that other people aren’t touching—without taking on the risks associated with untested organizations. \n\n\nWe Build Today and Deploy Tomorrow. \nOur employees aren’t just researchers but are creating reality. In other words, the autonomous vehicles we’re building are designed to go to real clients right away. We are driven by our passion for innovation, our ability to see the entire product, and the real impact of our work in the real world. At Cyngn, the distance between the theoretical and the actual is razor-thin. \n\n\nWe aren’t robots. We just build them. \nRead our Glassdoor reviews, and you’ll find that one of the best things about working here is the people. We are an inclusive, diverse team of top talent with exceptional synergy. We thrive on open collaboration and a trusting and creative work environment that is fueled by our passion for the industry. At Cyngn, everyone’s voice is valued, and each of our unique perspectives is celebrated. It’s the people that allow our company to continue to grow bigger and better every day.\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Role:\nAs a Senior DevOps Lead at Cyngn, you will play a vital role in architecting and managing infrastructure across cloud and autonomous vehicle systems.
