Sr. Dev Ops Engineer
Department: Software Engineering
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Hawthorne, California
Compensation: $155,000 - $195,000 / year
Description
Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on — rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
Astrolab is seeking an experienced Sr. Dev Ops Engineer to stand up infrastructure to support safety critical software development and testing. As a Senior Dev Ops Engineer at Astrolab, you will be architecting, implementing, and testing the environments and tooling we use to ensure the software on our extra-terrestrial rovers is reliable, safe, and correct. You will be responsible for setting up infrastructure as code (IaC) tooling to support multiple departments such as vehicle software development and testing, avionics testing, vehicle testing, and mission operations and creating and maintaining continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to support these teams as they develop their products and execute their tests.

What you'll do:
- Design, architect, develop, and test code ( IaC) to provision and manage servers, networks, and cloud resources, including safety critical and secure assets, that support software development, hardware testing, and mission operations
- Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support automated software testing and deployment of software to hardware assets
- Manage user access and secrets while ensuring proper security measures
- Set up monitoring of on-premises and cloud resources and alerts/notifications when assets exhibit abnormal behaviors or fail
- Support integration between IT and the software development resources
What you'll bring:
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in a science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) related field
- 7+ years of experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) packages and tooling such as Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, Ansible, jfrog, artifactory, and more
- Experience provisioning VMs, containers, servers, networks, and similar for relatively complex systems and use cases, including deployment to physical hardware
- Experience with Python, bash, Go, or similar
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with creating, configuring, and deploying development environments to both cloud-based and on-premises servers and to specialized production hardware
- Experience with git and version control systems
- Significant experience with kubernets and docker swarm
- Significant experience with docker (Podman is an acceptable alternative)
- Experience with multiple CI/CD tools (e.g. bamboo, Jenkins, gitlab, etc.) and creation of CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with modern agile software development practices
- Experience implementing software that meets NIST 800-171 and NIST 800-53 security specifications
- Experience with secrets management and associated tooling
- Experience with monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, and similar
- Experience with static analysis tooling, dynamic memory analysis tooling, fuzz testing, penetration testing, and other methods used to detect potential security defects
Benefits and Perks
