Job Description
As a SeniorSite Reliability Engineer on our Cloud Infrastructure Team, you’ll play a pivotal role in maintaining and scaling our ground segment infrastructure. You’ll collaborate across development, operations, and IT to ensure the integration, delivery, and reliability of services that support our space operations on Earth and in orbit. This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and help build modern automated space infrastructure. This is not your typical SRE role, we apply DevOps principles even to spacecraft control.
Collaborate with developers and satellite operators to foster a strong SatDevOps culture. Design, implement, and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure in a hybrid cloud environment. Improve our developer experience by building better tools, workflows, and environments. Lead efforts to automate and optimize systems, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning (IaC), and deployment workflows. Own and evolve our observability stack (metrics, tracing, logs) to improve usability and performance. Grafana-centric ecosystems are a plus. Implement and advocate for best practices in software reliability, fault tolerance, and performance tuning. Proactively identify, investigate, and resolve system reliability issues, performing root cause analyses and implementing long-term fixes. Partner with teams to design and operate Software Defined Network (SDN) solutions. Contribute to a collaborative and inclusive team culture where respectful debate and continuous learning are celebrated.
