About the role

Wanna join the adventure?

As a Site Reliability Engineer with strong networking skills in our Cloud Infrastructure (SRE) team, you help the team own the networks that keep Loft running: cloud networking, VPN and site-to-site connectivity, segmentation, and routing across our offices, test equipment, and ground stations. You keep them reliable, observable, and secure as we scale. You coordinate with IT on the network components that interface with the physical infrastructure used by employees. You coordinate with the Test-Infrastructure team to ensure our test equipment is securely accessible. You’ll work the way an SRE team works: defining reliability in measurable terms (SLOs for connectivity and ground-station availability), instrumenting the systems that prove it, managing the network as code, and automating away toil so on-call load doesn’t grow with the fleet. Beyond the network, you’ll help the SRE team across its broader scope by participating in all the daily work just like a regular SRE: platform reliability and expansion, incident response, planning and user support.

*Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.

Who We Are

Loft: Space Made Simple.

Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
