Maintain and improve our CI/CD pipeline: instrument and monitor our CI jobs, and iteratively improve on it.
Manage and maintain infrastructure around build artifacts and dependencies storage.
Build and improve on our cloud and GPU cluster, and create essential devops infrastructure to support our daily research and software development effort.
Improve our MLOps training and deployment path: checkpoint registry/DB, model artifact promotion, and rollout to inference/robot endpoints.
Improve our infrastructure observability.
