As a team, we’ve launched five satellites into orbit, signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $750 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 400 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.
Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we’re very excited for the impact we’ll soon have in the Philippines, Mexico, and more!
Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career.
Senior DevOps Engineer
As a Senior DevOps engineer, you will be an early contributor to the growing infrastructure team to support a rapidly expanding fleet of satellites.
Speed and reliability aren’t luxuries here; they’re lifelines. When a satellite is orbiting thousands of miles above Earth, minutes matter. Our developers need to iterate and deploy rapidly to fix mission-critical issues and push improvements that keep spacecraft healthy and missions on track. You’ll be the one making sure our CI pipelines aren’t just efficient, but blazing fast, so our engineers can respond to the unexpected in real time. You’ll own every aspect of the development workflow including AI assistant tools, language upgrades, build systems, pre-commit checks, and emerging projects to help unlock developer velocity.
If you’re excited by the idea of supporting spacecraft with infrastructure that’s as mission-critical as the satellites themselves, this is your launchpad.
This role supports both commercial and U.S. Government programs.
Role
Maintain and streamline a CI pipeline integrating with a mix of real and simulated hardware
Introduce and optimize build tools and workflows to accelerate development
Automate release, deployment, and monitoring tooling for development and production systems
Implement and own the proliferation of metrics and performance tracking in development, CI, production, and mission contexts
Lead initiatives that improve developer productivity and developer experience
Requirements
6+ years experience in Infrastructure and DevOps engineering
Bachelor of Science in a related discipline (e.g. Computer Science, Information Technology)
Proficiency with Python or other scripting language
Experience with scaling build systems such as, but not limited to: Bazel, CMake, or Pants
Strong Experience with Linux
Experience working with CI tools such as Gitlab, Github, Jenkins, Tekton or others
Strong written and oral communication skills
Highly motivated, self-starting, and able to perform duties autonomously without much supervision
Bonus
Bazel build system
Code coverage reporting
AI tooling for developers
Remote development environments
Flaky test management and infrastructure
