DevOps Engineer (Ground Segement)

We are building the mission control system for a fleet of multi-sensor Earth observation satellites. The core software components exist—you will be the force that integrates them into a cohesive, reliable, and highly available system that can be deployed, operated, and scaled with confidence.

This is a fast-paced environment where you will work across system design, integration, maintenance, and documentation. We value engineers who can deliver end-to-end solutions with agility and precision.

• Design and implement mission control systems: telemetry & telecommand flows, tasking, scheduling, monitoring, and data routing.
  

• Integrate multiple software components into one operational ecosystem (internal services, third-party APIs, ground station software, etc.).
  

• Maintain and document all systems: architecture diagrams, interface specifications, deployment playbooks, operator guides.
  

• Ensure reliability and scalability: design for uptime, failover, and high availability.
  

• Deploy and operate systems in production with CI/CD pipelines, observability, alerting, and runbooks.
  

• Collaborate with flight software, data processing, and ground station teams to validate hardware–software integration in test labs and HIL setups.
  

• Continuously improve system performance and streamline developer/operator workflows.

• On-Prem Deployment:

• Aerospace background (small satellites, mission ops, ground segment, flight software).
  

• Radio/SDR knowledge (GNU Radio, SatNOGS, signal processing, link budgets).
  

• Familiarity with CCSDS standards, TT&C, orbit/ephemeris tools, and ground station control systems.
  

• Experience with high-availability / fault-tolerant systems (banking, telecom, mission-critical sectors).
  

• Distributed systems (message queues, gRPC/Protobuf, Kafka/NATS), time-series databases, observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK).
  

• Fair compensation provided as per market standards
  

• Experience rapid growth in a start-up culture
