  • Proactively identify, investigate, and resolve system reliability issues, performing root cause analyses and implementing long-term fixes.

  • 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.
  • Master’s degree in Computer Science or a similar field
  • Nice to Haves:

  • 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.
  • Familiarity with security practices, vulnerability scanning, threat detection, risk mitigation.
  • Some of Our Awesome Benefits:

  • 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance option for employees and dependents

  •  *Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions.  We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
