Baubot is a robotics company focused on driving the construction industry forward with innovative and industry-leading mobile robotic systems. We build end-to-end solutions that combine hardware, software, and real-world deployments on demanding job sites.

This role is a hybrid: part company IT / enterprise infrastructure, and part robot Linux + networking. The core goal is to make our systems reliable, maintainable, and recoverable, with clean provisioning, repeatable deployments, and strong operations.

Tasks

Own and operate company's IT infrastructure:

• Microsoft 365 / identity/devices, user support, printers, internal SaaS tools (e.g., Jira/Confluence), access management
• Office network: WiFi, internet uplink, network troubleshooting, and improvements
• Basic security practices: keys, access, backups, sensible policies

Design and maintain robust Linux-based robot/edge systems:

• OS provisioning & imaging, disk/partitioning strategies, filesystem choices, recovery concepts
• Service management (systemd), watchdogs, safe shutdown behaviour, crash resilience, log retention

Own robot networking and connectivity setup:

• Ethernet, routing, DNS/DHCP, remote access, latency/drop debugging, misconfiguration troubleshooting
• Clear documentation and repeatable setup for robot + dev/test networks

Debug incidents end-to-end:

• Investigate failures across software/hardware/network boundaries
• Drive fixes through to stable, repeatable operation (documentation + automation included)

Note: We care most about robust operations, failure handling, and ownership. We value people who have run systems in production and can make them boring and reliable.

Qualifications

• Willingness, experience and ability to take responsibility for enterprise IT (user support + office infrastructure) as part of the role
• Strong hands-on Linux/Unix system understanding (not just usage): boot/service lifecycle, systemd, logs, networking, filesystems, permissions, performance basics
• Practical experience building or operating reliable systems:
• safe updates, recoverability, reproducible setups, structured troubleshooting
• Solid networking fundamentals:
• IP basics, routing, DNS/DHCP, VLANs, packet-level debugging (tcpdump/Wireshark)
• Comfort with scripting/automation (Bash + at least one of Python/Go/Rust)

Nice to have

• Experience with robots, embedded systems, IPCs, or edge devices
• Docker/containers (especially outside pure cloud environments)
• Kubernetes (incl. k3s/microk8s) or similar orchestration, ideally on-prem / edge setups
• Image-based deployments / provisioning pipelines / reproducible builds
• OTA frameworks / rollback strategies / update signing concepts
• Security basics beyond the obvious (least privilege, key management, integrity checks)

Benefits

At Baubot, you can look forward to:

• Creative freedom and a variety of tasks in a high-tech start-up environment
• A dynamic and international team
• Regular team events, professional development budget, and performance-based bonus model
• Free daily lunch, paid gym membership, and a great Vienna location

Work details

• Full-time role with flexible working hours and the possibility of partial remote work
• Payroll in accordance with "Kollektivvertrag Eisen- und Metallverarbeitenden Gewerbe"
• Based in Vienna
• Applications via LinkedIn or directly by email (CV + cover letter)
