Job description

Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Reliability is the cornerstone of a successful space mission. As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you'll design infrastructure that's as mission-critical as the satellites it supports: platforms built to run 24/7 without compromise. Your infrastructure will be the foundation for applications Mission Operators use to safely command our satellites and maintain situational awareness. Your expertise will guide our company strategy in leveraging the cloud for hosting critical applications and improving developer productivity.

This role supports both commercial and U.S. Government programs.

Role
  • Design, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes-based platforms that host mission-critical applications
  • Harden infrastructure for resilience and build self-healing systems with minimal downtime
  • Develop observability pipelines that give insight into cluster health and cost
  • Partner with teams across the engineering org to ensure their application requirements and SLAs are met
  • Champion best practices in software reliability, security, and scalability across the engineering org 
Requirements
  • 3+ years experience in Infrastructure and/or Site Reliability engineering
  • Bachelor of Science in a related discipline (e.g. Computer Science, Information Technology)
  • Experience deploying and maintaining production Kubernetes clusters
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g. Terraform, Ansible)
  • Proficiency with Python or other scripting language
  • Understanding of cloud spend optimization and best practices for managing cost
Bonus
  • Experience with on prem or baremetal Kubernetes management
  • Experience with GitOps tools (e.g. FluxCD, ArgoCD)
  • Familiarity with observability stacks and implementing monitoring solutions (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana)
  • Experience with secrets management (e.g. Vault, External Secrets)
  • Experience with service meshes (e.g. Istio, Nginx)
