job specification

Company Description:

Aistech Space is focused on generating affordable, recurrent, high resolution thermal imagery of the planet to provide a new perspective of Earth’s changing resources. The company is based in Barcelona and aims to revolutionize remote sensing for environmental monitoring and resource management.

What you will do:

• A Drive Company-Wide Infrastructure: Take ownership of the cloud-native infrastructure (GCP) that powers our entire software organization. You will ensure our environments are modular, reproducible, and ready to scale as our satellite constellation grows.
• Enable Engineering Autonomy: Your primary goal is to remove operational friction. You will design and provide the self-service infrastructure tools and automated workflows that allow any developer to provision and manage their own services independently.
• Evolve the Stack: Maintain and improve our current OpenTofu/Terragrunt and Argo CD ecosystems. You will evaluate and implement architectural improvements to keep our platform at the cutting edge of reliability and efficiency.
• Hybrid Product Delivery: Act as a software engineer specializing in infrastructure. When the platform is stable, you will contribute directly to backend services (Python/Go) to help the company meet critical delivery milestones and ensure application-level best practices.
• Define Reliability & Security Standards: Architect zero-trust security (OpenBao, Keycloak) and comprehensive observability into the automated deployment lifecycle, ensuring the most secure and reliable path is also the easiest one for developers to follow.

Who you are:

The Must-Haves:

• The "Enabler" Mindset: 3–5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering. You measure your success by the velocity of your peers and view other developers as your primary customers.
• Strong Developer Foundations: Proficient in Python (required). You are comfortable reading, writing, and refactoring application code, not just writing automation scripts.
• IaC & GitOps Expert: Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code ( Terraform/OpenTofu ) and GitOps methodologies ( Argo CD ). You understand how to manage state and complexity in a layered architecture.
• Kubernetes Orchestrator: Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (GKE) and configuration management (Kustomize/Helm).
• Communication & Partnership: You are a proactive communicator who advocates for solutions that empower others rather than processes that block them.

The Nice-to-Haves:

• Golang Proficiency: Experience contributing to production services in Go.
• Nix/Nix flakes: Familiarity with functional package management and reproducible development environments.
• Security & Mesh Tooling: Experience with OpenBao (Vault) , Kong API Gateway , or Keycloak .

Geospatial Awareness: Background or interest in geospatial data standards such as STAC and COG .
