You keep them reliable, observable, and secure as we scale. You coordinate with IT on the network components that interface with the physical infrastructure used by employees. You coordinate with the Test-Infrastructure team to ensure our test equipment is securely accessible.\nYou’ll work the way an SRE team works: defining reliability in measurable terms (SLOs for connectivity and ground-station availability), instrumenting the systems that prove it, managing the network as code, and automating away toil so on-call load doesn’t grow with the fleet.\nBeyond the network, you’ll help the SRE team across its broader scope by participating in all the daily work just like a regular SRE: platform reliability and expansion, incident response, planning and user support.\nAbout this role:\nParticipate in the design and implement Loft’s network architecture; cloud networking, VPN/site-to-site, segmentation, and routing across offices, ground stations, and test equipment\nTighten the network security posture: segmentation, access, and connectivity hardening\nManage the network as code: IaCprovisioning, CI/CD, and GitOps\nDefine SLOs for connectivity and ground-station availability, and own the observability (metrics, logs, tracing) that measures them; Grafana-centric stacks a plus\nInvestigate and resolve reliability issues with root-cause analysis and durable fixes; reduce operational toil through automation\nContribute to the SRE team’s broader reliability and incident-response work, fostering the SatDevOps culture that power Loft’s DNA\nMust haves:\n4-5 years in network engineering, with deep hands-on networking: routing, VPN/site-to-site, segmentation, DNS, firewalling\n Hands-on Software-Defined Networking: comfortable managing networks programmatically / as code rather than appliance-by-appliance (everything we run is IaC)\nStrong public-cloud networking experience, ideally GCP (VPCs, peering, hybrid connectivity)\nComfortable operating on a Kuburnetes platform (k8s, Docker) and occasionally writing code\n Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar) and a CI/CD-driven, GitOps workflow\nAn SRE mindset: SLOs, observability, and reducing toil through automation\nAbility to debug connectivity issues in a complex, hybrid network environment\nDegree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience\nNice to haves:\n Network certifications (CCNPor similar)\nHands-on experience with GitOps frameworks (ArgoCD, FluxCD)\nInterest or experience in FinOps and cost-optimized architectures\nFamiliarity with security practices: vulnerability scanning, threat detection, risk mitigation\nUnderstanding of orchestration in resource-constrained environments, like space systems\nSome of our awesome benefits:\n100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance option for employees and dependents\nFlexible Spending (FSA) and Health Savings (HSA) Accounts offered with an employer contribution to the HSA\n100% employer paid Life, AD&D, Short-Term, and Long-Term Disability insurance\nFlexible Time Off policy for vacation and sick leave, and 12 paid holidays\n401(k) plan and equity options\nDaily catered lunches and snacks in office\nInternational exposure to our team in France\nFully paid parental leave;
