Infrastructure & Systems Administrator
About The Position
Space Kinetic is seeking a mid-level Infrastructure & Systems Administrator to maintain and scale the infrastructure supporting our engineering, manufacturing, simulation, secure collaboration, and export-controlled programs. You will work across servers, virtualization, networking, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, and engineering systems. The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex technical problems and building secure, scalable infrastructure in a fast-moving environment. This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional 40-hour work week. Space Kinetic is building ambitious, first-of-its-kind technology, and that requires urgency, ownership, and a high level of commitment to changing the foundational assumptions for everything we do in space.
