Job description

ABOUT SPHINX

Sphinx builds software to solve complex national security problems in Space. Founded by engineers and technologists with deep experience across commercial and defense technology, we were frustrated by the outdated and insecure technology America's service members are forced to rely on. We're here to do better. 

We're focused on building modern, scalable products with an emphasis on using open source technologies. Expect talented, motivated, and interesting colleagues who emphasize collaboration, transparency, and individual responsibility.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Sphinx is hiring a Junior DevOps Engineer to join our team building a cutting edge communications platform for US government satellites.

WHAT YOU'LL BE FOCUSING ON

  • Supporting AWS-hosted and on-premises Kubernetes environments.
  • Helping maintain reliable, secure, and highly available platform infrastructure.
  • Maintaining and improving GitLab CI/CD pipelines to support software delivery.
  • Developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
  • Assisting with Kubernetes application deployments using Helm.
  • Troubleshooting infrastructure, platform, and application issues across AWS and Kubernetes environments.
  • Partnering with software engineers to improve deployment automation and developer workflows.
  • Continuously improving platform observability, automation, reliability, and operational efficiency.
  • Supporting software deployments into classified environments.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

  • Experience working in Linux environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Python or Go through professional work, internships, coursework, or personal projects.
  • Exposure to Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, or other cloud-native technologies.
  • Experience using Git for source control.
  • Strong troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to learn new technologies and adapt quickly.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government TS/SCI clearance

YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF 

  • You enjoy building and automating technical solutions.
  • You like digging into complex technical problems and figuring out how things work.
  • You've built projects outside of the classroom or workplace because you're curious and enjoy learning.
  • You're comfortable collaborating with teammates and asking questions when you need help.
  • You take ownership of your work and are eager to continuously improve your technical skills.
  • You're excited to work on mission-critical software that supports national security

 LOCATION
