Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

As a talented Nyx Earth DevOps Engineer, we want you to help us fulfil our mission by enabling our engineering teams to build, test and deploy reliable and secure software using state-of-the-art CI/CD techniques.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, deploy and maintain environments for SiL and HiL test campaigns, connecting cloud-based CI/CD infrastructure with on-prem hardware.

• Implement and administer CI/CD pipelines for flight software and GNC.

• Monitor and optimise the performance of CI/CD and data pipelines.

• Work with the DevOps team to integrate analytics into CI/CD pipelines and incident management systems.

• Ensure data accuracy, consistency, scalability and security across all environments.

• Deploy and maintain cloud resources.

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps or a related role.

• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines for C++.

• Expertise in programming languages such as C++, C and Python.

• Experience with containerisation tools like Docker.
