Loft Orbital is revolutionizing access to space by building reliable, shareable satellites that drastically reduce the time and complexity traditionally required to get to orbit.
Key Responsibilities
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.
Requirements
Strong experience with public cloud infrastructure , ideally GCP.
Deep expertise in Kubernetes , architecture, deployment, ops, and resource optimization.
Demonstrated ability to design and build scalable, highly available systems .
Familiarity with Software Defined Networking (SDN) concepts and tools.
Experience implementing and maintaining observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, etc.).
Proficiency in at least one backend language: Go, Python, Rust, C/C++, or Java .
Deep understanding and hands-on experience with DevOps practices : CI/CD, infrastructure as code (IaC), and automation.
Proven track record of working in fast-paced, high-growth technical environments .
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to operate independently with a proactive, results-driven mindset .
Strong communication skills; thrives in a multicultural, cross-functional team.
Hands-on experience with GitOps frameworks (ArgoCD, FluxCD).
Interest or experience in FinOps and cost-optimized architectures .
Understanding of orchestration in resource-constrained environments , like space systems.
Knowledge of systems engineering tools and SDLC governance.
