What We Do

Gecko Robotics is helping the world's most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.

Role at a Glance

The Software Platform team's purpose is to empower software engineers, reduce unnecessary blockers, and increase our velocity to create exceptional products. We do this by making software effortless to build, deploy, and manage. Using automation, shared libraries, and DevOps tools, we solve the common software problems so other engineers can focus on Gecko's unique challenges.

This role will specifically focus on leveling up our Government cloud architecture, deployments, and automation. You will own the maintainability and scalability of our critical single-tenant environments, empowering engineers to manage and own their deployments without needing extensive cloud expertise.

What you will do

Be the visionary and owner of our government-specific infrastructure. You will build automated, secure environments that allow teams to deploy to high-compliance customers just as easily as they do to the public cloud.

Abstract and automate the differences between our various cloud environments. You will ensure that developers don't need to carry the cognitive load of each environment's specific compliance regulations and nuances.

Develop robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and shared libraries that benefit all environments, preventing work from being repeated.

Work closely with the other members of the Software Platform team to achieve our mission of making software at Gecko effortless to build, deploy, and manage. Areas currently owned by the team currently include:

Smooth, intuitive, automated CI/CD

Customer authentication

Permission management

DevOps Tool management and optimization

Optimizing the local development experience

Effective onboarding and internal training

Technologies We Use

We use a variety of technologies. For managing infrastructure and deployments, we mostly use Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Docker. Our cloud architecture is primarily serverless, stateless, and event-driven. Gecko primarily operates using Python, React, and Typescript. This is a non-exhaustive list and we are tech agnostic in our interview process, so we encourage you to apply regardless of your background.

Who We Are

At Gecko, our people are our greatest investment. In addition to competitive compensation packages, we offer company equity, 401(k) matching, gender-neutral parental leave, full medical, dental, and vision insurance, mental health, ongoing professional development, family planning assistance, and flexible paid time off.

Gecko values collaboration, innovation, and partnership, and we believe we do our best work when we're together in person. We're an office-first culture but understand that sometimes you may need to work from home. Many people are in the office five days a week, others need a bit more flexibility. Ultimately, we care about the outcomes we achieve - and creating a culture of autonomy and trust that enables that impact.

Gecko is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe it is our collective responsibility to uphold these values and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to join us in our mission to protect today's infrastructure and give form to tomorrow's.
