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 team’s broader reliability and incident-response work, fostering the SatDevOps culture that power Loft’s DNA
- Must haves:
- 4–5 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
