Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on — rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way.

Astrolab is seeking an experienced Sr. Dev Ops Engineer to stand up infrastructure to support safety critical software development and testing. As a Senior Dev Ops Engineer at Astrolab, you will be architecting, implementing, and testing the environments and tooling we use to ensure the software on our extra-terrestrial rovers is reliable, safe, and correct. You will be responsible for setting up infrastructure as code (IaC) tooling to support multiple departments such as vehicle software development and testing, avionics testing, vehicle testing, and mission operations and creating and maintaining continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to support these teams as they develop their products and execute their tests.
