ABOUT SPHINX

Sphinx builds software to solve complex national security problems in Space. Founded by engineers and technologists with deep experience across commercial and defense technology, we were frustrated by the outdated and insecure technology America's service members are forced to rely on. We're here to do better.

We’re focused on building modern, scalable products with an emphasis on using open source technologies. Expect talented, motivated, and interesting colleagues who emphasize collaboration, transparency, and individual responsibility.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to help take our build and deployment automation to the next level. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will build the development and deployment infrastructure used by our Space Communications team, which provides infrastructure for a wide variety of US Government satellites; you will play a key role in building a cutting-edge communications platform for US government satellites. You will have a role in determining what we build and how we work. You'll work as an individual contributor and a lead for more junior engineers.

Configure and maintain a federated message bus infrastructure
Maintaining CI/CD pipelines

You might be a good fit if you have:

Leveraged a major cloud provider's (AWS, Azure, GCP) services in a production setting
A habit of self-directed learning of new technologies
Strong experience with either Python or Go
Strong experience with Ansible automation
You have made enough mistakes and booked enough wins to know what not to build and what good looks like
The ability to see through the noise to the most critical problem.
The ability to provide technical leadership, guide, and mentor junior engineers
Excellent communication skills, working with end-users to design and build solutions to their needs, a habit of self-directed learning of new technologies, and the ability to learn quickly and adapt to a fast-paced environment
The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government TS/SCI clearance

LOCATION

This role is a hybrid role based in Colorado Springs, CO that offers flexibility while supporting collaboration on classified work. This role will require onsite work as needed to support secure program requirements.
