Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) / DevOps Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!   At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost.   We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

What you will be doing:

• Design, deploy, and maintain highly-scalable, highly-available software systems in AWS
• Architect and manage containerized applications on Amazon EKS with focus on reliability and performance
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for AWS cloud resources
• Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, deployment, and rollback capabilities
• Implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions using CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana
• Ensure system reliability through SLI/SLO definition, error budgets, and incident response procedures
• Collaborate directly with engineering teams to optimize application deployment and operations
• Manage deployments and scaling strategies to support mission-critical operations
• Automate and enforce cloud security, governance, and compliance controls
• Participate in on-call rotation and lead incident response for production level systems

What you bring to this role:

• 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering roles
• Proven experience designing and operating mission-critical, highly-available systems within AWS
• Advanced proficiency in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (OpenTofu)
• Deep experience with Kubernetes, EKS, Helm, and container orchestration
• Strong CI/CD pipeline development and management experience (Bitbucket preferred)
• Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting for automation
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack)
• Knowledge of capacity planning and performance optimization
• Experience with database operations and scaling (RDS, Aurora, or similar)

Extra bonus points for the following:

• AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), or equivalent expertise
• Experience with incident management and post-mortem processes
• Experience with GitOps workflows and tools (ArgoCD, Flux)
• Knowledge of service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd)
• Experience with chaos engineering and disaster recovery planning
• Experience with Zero Trust Networking (ZTNA) or VPN solutions
• Background in aerospace, defense, or other mission-critical industries
• Strong intellectual curiosity and commitment to continuous learning
• Exceptional attention to detail and an ownership mentality

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office.  The target base pay for this position is $100,000 - $170,000 annually.  The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.    We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.   E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
