Job Summary

Wanna join the adventure

As a Site Reliability Engineer with strong networking skills in our Cloud Infrastructure (SRE) team you help the team own the networks that keep Loft running: cloud networking VPN and site-to-site connectivity segmentation and routing across our offices test equipment and ground stations. 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.

Youll 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 doesnt grow with the fleet.

Beyond the network youll 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.

About this role:

Participate in the design and implement Lofts network architecture; cloud networking VPN/site-to-site segmentation and routing across offices ground stations and test equipment
Tighten the network security posture: segmentation access and connectivity hardening
Manage the network as code: IaC provisioning CI/CD and GitOps
Define SLOs for connectivity and ground-station availability and own the observability (metrics logs tracing) that measures them; Grafana-centric stacks a plus
Investigate and resolve reliability issues with root-cause analysis and durable fixes; reduce operational toil through automation
Contribute to the SRE teams broader reliability and incident-response work fostering the SatDevOps culture that power Lofts DNA

Must haves:

45 years in network engineering with deep hands-on networking: routing VPN/site-to-site segmentation DNS firewalling
Hands-on Software-Defined Networking: comfortable managing networks programmatically / as code rather than appliance-by-appliance (everything we run is IaC)
Strong public-cloud networking experience ideally GCP (VPCs peering hybrid connectivity)
Comfortable operating on a Kuburnetes platform (k8s Docker) and occasionally writing code
Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar) and a CI/CD-driven GitOps workflow
An SRE mindset: SLOs observability and reducing toil through automation
Ability to debug connectivity issues in a complex hybrid network environment
Degree in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent practical experience

Nice to haves:

Network certifications (CCNP or similar)
Hands-on experience with GitOps frameworks (ArgoCD FluxCD)
Interest or experience in FinOps and cost-optimized architectures
Familiarity with security practices: vulnerability scanning threat detection risk mitigation
Understanding of orchestration in resource-constrained environments like space systems
