About the Role
At Advanced Space, we're enabling humanity's return to the Moon and building the technologies that will take us to Mars and beyond. We're looking for a Sr. DevOps Engineer with 8–12 years of experience to empower the successful execution of some of the most ambitious space missions in the industry.
In this role, you'll design, build, automate, and operate secure, scalable infrastructure supporting mission-critical aerospace workloads. You'll partner closely with engineering teams to deliver cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and automation that enable reliable software delivery across development, test, and production environments.
We're looking for someone who thrives in technically demanding environments, enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges, and is passionate about building secure, reliable platforms that enable engineers to deliver real missions, not just concepts.
This position is open to U.S. Citizens only. Visa sponsorship is not available.
The ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret security clearance is required.
About Advanced Space
Advanced Space exists to enable the sustainable exploration, development, and settlement of space through innovative software, mission services, and technology solutions. As the owner and operator of NASA's CAPSTONE™ mission and the Prime Contractor for AFRL's Oracle mission, we're helping shape the future of cislunar exploration while supporting commercial, civil, and national security customers.
Our team combines deep technical expertise with an entrepreneurial mindset. We move quickly, collaborate across disciplines, and empower every engineer to make meaningful contributions. If you're passionate about solving challenging problems and seeing your work fly in space, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Actually Do
Build and operate secure cloud infrastructure.
Design, build, automate, and operate secure, scalable, highly available AWS infrastructure for mission-critical aerospace workloads. Develop reusable infrastructure-as-code modules and deployment workflows using Terraform, AWS CDK, or comparable tools.
Develop reliable CI/CD and Kubernetes platforms.
Build and improve GitLab CI/CD pipelines that enable repeatable software and infrastructure delivery. Operate container platforms using Kubernetes, preferably Amazon EKS, including workload deployment, Helm, scaling, cluster upgrades, access controls, and security hardening.
