Sr. Dev Ops Engineer

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.

- 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
