About the company:

Ecosmic is on a mission to reduce threat exposure in space by building software for Space Situational Awareness.

We are a high-tech data-driven space start-up bringing together an international team of engineers and computer scientists. We move fast think deeply and care about building things that matter.

Were looking for a DevOps Engineer to package in-house algorithms into easy-to-use reliable and secure products. You will empower space engineers with software that facilitates the development of both new and existing algorithms.

How we work:

We work in small cross-functional teams where software and space engineers collaborate closely and where everyone is empowered to take ownership of their work. We value open collaboration and mutual trust creating an environment where people can grow continuously and feel genuinely valued.

We are an async-first organization. Most of our communication happens in writing and we prioritize clarity documentation and thoughtful responses over real-time meetings.

We intentionally keep meetings to a minimum. We believe that deep focused work is essential and we design our workflows to protect it.

We care deeply about doing excellent work and holding a high bar for quality while recognising that sustainable performance depends on well-being. We actively protect worklife balance and design our way of working to support it.

We trust people to own their work and make decisions but that trust comes with a strong expectation of accountability and proactivity: taking initiative following through and continuously raising the bar.

A glimpse of our tech stack:

• Python for our backend FastAPI for APIs and C for performance-critical components

• DynamoDB and S3 for storage

• AWS serverless services (Fargate Lambda) with infrastructure-as-code via Terraform

• GitHub Jira Slack and Confluence for collaboration

At the same time were actively rethinking parts of our stack. Were exploring a shift from C to Rust to improve developer experience and make our core logic more resilient and were moving toward a more cloud-agnostic setup built on Kubernetes.

We provide a MacBook Pro (M5 Pro) as company laptop.

What were looking for:

• 7 years of experience

• Extensive experience in software architecture and senior engineering roles

• Experience in shipping products in a start-up environment enabling rapid iteration while maintaining a reliable and secure platform

• Strong judgement in balancing trade-offs between scalability maintainability and speed

• Proven ability to improve and optimise technical workflows and team practices

• Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and infrastructure-as-code

• Experience working closely with product and business teams in a B2B context

• Excellent communication skills and a passion for mentoring and knowledge sharing

• Proficiency in English with fluency in both spoken and written communication being an absolute must

• Experience in on-premise or hybrid deployments of services and their orchestration with Kubernetes

What youll work on:

Contributing to long-term initiatives such as but not limited to:

• Unlocking on-premises deployment of space algorithms with Kubernetes

• Continuously improving the developer experience of your teammates (software and space)

• Collaborating with space engineers and other software engineers to develop algorithms as services

• Designing and developing core algorithms and infrastructure from early-stage prototypes to final deployment

• Enhancing and extending the observability of our systems

• These initiatives are mixed with short-term tasks such as reviewing PRs and design documents contributing to code via business-driven implementations and bug fixes and reducing tech debt.

What we offer:

• Flexibility and trust: youll always have the freedom to decide where todays office is. We measure peoples performance based on the objectives they achieve rather than the hours they spend sitting at their desks

• An incredible opportunity for growth. We implement Performance Reviews that are meant to guide your career progression and are tied to Stock Options. We ensure you have the tools to grow by putting aside company time and a specific budget for growth

• We really value an equilibrated work-life balance. Whilst we seek motivated and talented people to reach our goals together we will always prioritise our peoples health and well-being

• Competitive pay: the estimated salary range for this position is 50000 - 60000 per year.
