Site Reliability Engineer & DevSecOps Manager

York is seeking a talented and enthusiastic engineer to lead the SRE and DevSecOps team in the Simulation, Integration and Test Department with a passion for launching hardware into space and a desire to revolutionize the space industry. Our ideal candidate thrives in a highly collaborative environment and enjoys finding ways to innovate and make processes more efficient.

This role owns the system deployment and observability products used to standardize operations of development and test assets used during the entire lifecycle of space vehicle production.

In this role you will coordinate closely with spacecraft production, simulation, flight software, ground software, and mission operations teams to understand their needs, translate them into product roadmaps, and deliver the product that is required.

This is primarily a management role, but it is not a hands-off one. You should expect to stay in the codebase, contribute directly on focused work, support production, and review your engineers' code with real technical judgment. You will follow your products from development to deployment.

Responsibilities

Manage a team of 5-10 engineers with strong leadership skills, including tasking, technical direction, career growth, and performance

Set priorities across multiple different products, working through a designated engineering lead for each, and grow that structure as the group scales

Stay hands-on, contributing code on focused work and reviewing your engineers' work directly

Lead design, development, delivery, maintenance, and support of multiple products

Own product roadmaps and release cadence across multiple platforms, and align them with internal customer roadmaps

Communicate status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to SIT leadership and internal stakeholders

Collaborate with internal and external teams that depend on stability of your products daily

Design trainings for observability products for specific stakeholders

Track, triage, and coordinate deployment requests to managed systems from external stakeholders

Develop and maintain CI/CD standards for internal and external projects

Interact with stakeholders and customers to gather feedback and requirements for feature requests and bugfixes

Manage and monitor releases and ensure products are stable for deployments

Required Qualifications

Demonstrated proficiency in Linux system administration

Demonstrated proficiency with relational or time-series databases (SQL, InfluxDB, MongoDB)

Experience leading others in software development, whether as a manager, technical lead, or both

Experience designing, building, deploying and operating software applications in a production environment

Strong communication skills and the ability to set priorities across multiple concurrent products and stakeholders

Experience with writing test documentation, such as test plans, procedures, reports, and defect records

Capable of managing multiple tasks while delivering according to program milestones and release commitments

Preferred Qualifications

Direct people-management experience, including performance management and career development

Familiarity with spacecraft integration and test workflows, environmental testing, or mission operations

Experience scaling an engineering team

Experience with frontend visibility software such as Grafana
