Senior Infrastructure and DevOps Engineer
About The Position
Seasats builds autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) that deliver persistent maritime intelligence for defense, scientific, and commercial customers. This is an exciting opportunity to help scale the backend systems that support our growing fleet of field-deployed ASVs. Seasats has autonomous vehicles in customer hands across the globe and is now aggressively scaling our vehicle production and deployment rates. We’re looking for an experienced infrastructure / DevOps engineer who’s excited to learn the current system and work to make it ever more resilient and serviceable. Seasats’ customers depend on our vehicles to complete high value (and at times dangerous) missions. The systems you’ll be managing cut across all of our products and services and as such are critical to the whole organization. Much of your work will be on the backend, but you’ll also contribute to systems that run on the vehicles themselves. You’ll report directly to our CTO and work closely with the rest of the software and systems teams. This is a hands-on role with significant ownership: you’ll design systems, deploy them, support them in production, and continuously improve how they’re operated.
