Senior DevOps Engineer

About the role

Ecosmic is on a mission to reduce threat exposure in space by building software for Space Situational Awareness. To achieve this, we built a team of flight dynamics engineers and computer scientists to build & package in-house algorithms into easy-to-use, reliable, and secure products. As an example, our platform recently allowed us to identify a series of close approaches in GEO involving Russia's Luch/Olymp-2 and a Western telecommunications satellite, possibly attributed to SIGINT activity. We're hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer (mid-level candidates are welcome too!) to aid the effort of unlocking on-premises deployments of our algorithms with Kubernetes, and to contribute to the evolution of our platform. Our stack includes Python for backend services and high-level algorithm tooling, C++ for performance-critical components, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Terraform for IaC. We currently use managed serverless services, and we’re beginning a gradual migration from C++ to Rust for its reliability guarantees. You’d join a team of three software engineers who love working in such a fantastic domain. I currently take care of most of the infrastructure work with the team, and we’re looking for someone who can help us tackle this new challenge.
