DevSecOps Engineer

JOB OVERVIEW We're building a satellite-based mesh network, and the software and infrastructure behind it — ground segment services, network orchestration, telemetry pipelines, and embedded flight/payload software tooling — need to be shipped fast and run securely. As DevSecOps Engineer you will design, implement and continuously improve the CI/CD, cloud and infrastructure environment, contribute directly to software development across the stack, and build security into every stage rather than bolting it on at the end. This is a hands-on role spanning development, operations, and security for systems that are both mission-critical and subject to strict regulatory obligations. RESPONSIBILITIES Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for ground-segment, network, and embedded software, with automated testing, security scanning, and controlled release gates; Contribute to automation tooling and software development supporting the platform and infrastructure; Collaborate with embedded software teams to support build toolchains, cross-compilation and integration workflows; Manage cloud and on-prem infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent) with reproducible, auditable deployments; Operate and secure containerized and orchestrated workloads (Docker, Kubernetes), including image hardening, registry scanning, and runtime security; Implement observability — logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting — for reliable, debuggable production systems; Harden systems and enforce access control, network segmentation, and least-privilege principles across environments; Support compliance and audit readiness against frameworks relevant to critical infrastructure (e.g., NIS2, ISO 27001), contributing to policies, controls, and evidence; Contribute to incident response, patch management, and secure configuration baselines; Partner with software, network, and mission teams QUALIFICATIONS AND STUDIES Degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience; Roughly 3-6 years in DevOps, SRE, platform, security, or software engineering roles. REQUIREMENTS Tech skills Strong Linux knowledge (required) — administration, networking, and development on Linux systems; Solid software development skills, with experience writing production code (Python, Go, C/C++, Rust or similar); Familiarity with embedded software development environments is considered a plus; Strong hands-on skills with CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar) and infrastructure as code; Solid networking and cloud fundamentals (AWS, GCP, or Azure); Practical experience integrating security tooling into pipelines and a genuine security mindset; Clear communicator who can work across development, operations, and security. Soft skills Excellent cross-functional communication skills to interface effectively with engineering teams, suppliers and management; Ability to translate ambiguous or evolving requirements into concrete, actionable specifications; Rigorous, detail-oriented approach, with a preference for measured/verified data over assumptions, and transparency when prior estimates need correction; Comfortable working in a fast-moving, still-maturing product environment, iterating on both architecture and hands-on implementation; Fluent English (written and spoken) required, given interaction with external international partners.
