Sr. DevOps Engineer Remote Full Time Ursa Space Systems Inc. Experienced Share Job SummaryAs a Senior DevOps Engineer at Ursa Space Systems, you will architect and operate the robust, secure, and highly scalable infrastructure that powers our satellite intelligence platform. This is a high-impact role where you will bridge software development and cloud operations to build resilient, auto-scaling environments capable of AI-assisted querying on massive geospatial datasets with high levels of concurrent system activity.A key focus of this role is strengthening the scalability and security of our backend platform and evolving our infrastructure to support increasing concurrency, reliability, and operational efficiency at scale. You will play a critical role in designing systems that are secure by default, observable in real time, and resilient under production load.You will also serve as a technical leader in defining the “paved roads” for CI/CD and infrastructure best practices, enabling engineering teams to deploy quickly without compromising reliability or security. Your work will span cloud infrastructure, automation, observability, DevSecOps, and platform scalability, with a strong emphasis on AWS-based architectures and services.Our core technology stack includes AWS, Terraform, Python, and Java. Deep expertise with AWS cloud infrastructure and services is essential for success in this role.This position is fully remote, or optionally in-person at our headquarters in Ithaca, NY. This position may have on-call responsibilities.What Success Looks LikeSecurity and reliability is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline (DevSecOps) so that breaks and vulnerabilities are caught before code is even deployed.Ensuring users and services have exactly the permissions they need and nothing more (e.g., RBAC, advanced IAM policies).All systems have real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities for failures and suspicious activity.Designing infrastructure that can withstand an attack or misconfiguration without a total system failure.Make our infrastructure and systems easy to configure, maintain and observe. We can debug and resolve production issues quickly with the help of monitors, logging and metrics.  ResponsibilitiesDesign, build, and maintain secure, scalable, and highly available AWS infrastructure supporting Ursa Space production systems.Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform and AWS-native tooling.Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices to enable fast, reliable, and secure deployments.Improve backend scalability, reliability, and system performance to support high levels of concurrency and production traffic.Implement monitoring, logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting systems to improve observability and incident response.Develop and maintain self-service infrastructure tooling and platform automation to improve engineering productivity.Support containerized applications and microservice-based architectures in cloud-native environments.Implement security best practices across infrastructure, including IAM, RBAC, secrets management, and compliance controls.Partner closely with software engineering teams on architecture, deployment, operational excellence, and production reliability initiatives.Participate in architecture reviews, incident response, on-call rotations, and continuous improvement efforts across the platform.RequirementsB.S. in Computer Science, or other engineering discipline in which software development is a focusIndustry experience in a Devops, SRE or software engineer roleStrong experience with AWS Cloud stack like S3, ECS, CloudFront, EFS, API Gateway etc.Experience using AI-assisted tools for rapid development and...
