- Take responsibility for the reliability and performance of Loft's ground platform infrastructure, including message queues, CI/CD, and observability
- Have the opportunity to take part in spacecraft operations through SatDevOps rotations, occasionally helping investigate anomalies and supporting real‑time incident response when needed
- Collaborate with software engineers and satellite operators from all over the company to support and foster consistent, maintainable, and performant software solutions
Must Haves:
- Solid backend software development experience

- Experience working with Kubernetes
Nice to Haves:
- Python development, particularly with Django

- Knowledge of DevOps and observability tools (Helm, Terraform, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, etc)
- Familiarity with AI tooling
- Frontend development with Vue and Web Components
