AI-Native DevOps Engineer

About EnduroSat

EnduroSat is a fast-growing space scale-up at the forefront of satellite innovation. We build advanced software-flexible satellites for commercial, governmental, and scientific missions.

• This is more than a job, it’s a mission. We are making space universally accessible and redefining what’s possible.
• We get things done. We take ownership and work hard to make a difference.
• We are fearless. Transparency is our only way forward. We address and resolve issues head-on.
• We learn from our mistakes. We deliver, take informed risks, and evolve. We measure ourselves against the best version of ourselves.

The Role

As an AI-Native DevOps Engineer, you will build and run the infrastructure behind our satellite software and do it with AI as a core part of your workflow, not an add-on. You will automate provisioning, deployments, and operations on AWS and Kubernetes using Terraform and GitOps, and you will use and build AI-driven tooling that makes our teams faster and our systems more reliable. You will work closely with software development teams to keep our satellite systems secure, scalable, and observable.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform across AWS environments.
• Design and manage CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI for multiple projects, with GitOps-based deployments to Kubernetes.
• Use AI coding and automation tools (e.g., Claude Code or similar agents) daily to write, review, and debug infrastructure code, pipelines, and scripts.
• Build and maintain AI-assisted workflows: agents or LLM-based tools that automate operational tasks such as incident triage, log analysis, runbook execution, and pipeline diagnostics.
• Introduce and govern AI-native practices across the team: prompt and context standards for infrastructure work, review guidelines for AI-generated code, and guardrails for secrets and production access.
• Monitor and optimize cloud resources and performance metrics for reliability and cost-effectiveness.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth deployment and operation of applications.
• Evaluate new AI tools and models critically, measuring their impact on delivery speed and system reliability before adopting them.

What We Look For

Must-have

• Strong proficiency in AWS: designing and maintaining scalable, secure cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.
• Solid hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deploying and scaling applications and following GitOps principles.
• Experience designing, implementing, and managing CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI.
• Practical, daily use of AI tools in engineering work (coding agents, LLM assistants, or AI-powered automation), with a clear view of where they help and where they need human review.
• A focus on automation and on improving system reliability through it.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with Terraform in production environments.
• Familiarity with MLOps or LLMOps: serving models on Kubernetes, managing GPU workloads, or running evaluation pipelines.
• Experience building internal tools or integrations with LLM APIs (e.g., via the Model Context Protocol).
• Observability experience (metrics, logs, tracing) and an interest in using AI to make it more actionable.

How to Stand Out

• You are open to knowledge-sharing and enjoy raising the level of the team around you.
• You understand the importance of last-mile delivery: getting work safely into production, not just into a merge request.
• You are a quick learner, proactive, and a self-starter, especially with new tools.
• You communicate clearly and have a positive attitude.
• You are passionate about space.

Why EnduroSat

• Fast-paced, delivery-focused culture. We work with well-defined quarterly objectives that help us move quickly and improve with every iteration.
• Tough engineering challenges and hard-core R&D. You will work on unique space technology and next-generation systems, mentored by world-recognized space experts.
• Constant learning and growth. Own your personal development through our career progression framework and educational programs.
• A chance to join our space educational program. Meet international space experts and build your skills in a hands-on program.
