Job summary

Aalyria is seeking a highly motivated Software Engineer to join our Spacetime engineering team. You will design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes-based systems that power multi-cloud deployments for aerospace platforms, with a focus on security, observability, and scale.

You will own Kubernetes lifecycle, implement GitOps workflows with Argo CD, and collaborate with product and domain engineers to deliver repeatable, self-service infrastructure across environments,

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience with production infrastructure or distributed systems.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals. You automate infrastructure in code instead of orchestrating it by hand.
• Experience with AWS or GCP, infrastructure-as-code, cloud networking, and Kubernetes infrastructure.
• Experience packaging and delivering software onto Kubernetes, with a good understanding of the tradeoffs between templating, rendering, and controller-based approaches.

Responsibilities

• Build the foundations every Aalyria environment starts from: accounts and projects, networking, DNS and IPAM, identity and RBAC, quotas and policy.
• Own Kubernetes cluster lifecycle end to end – provisioning, upgrades, addons – and the networking layer on top of it: Gateway API, service mesh, and zero-trust connectivity.
• Keep patterns consistent across environments, and make the differences that cloud providers, security domains, and customers force on us deliberate.
• Make disconnected deployment a first-class path: registry and artifact mirroring, hermetic builds, artifact sourcing with no egress, bootstrapping with no upstream, and out-of-band promotion.
• Define how Spacetime is packaged and configured for Kubernetes, and decide where Helm, rendering, or custom controllers each belong.
• Build the delivery path: GitOps reconciliation with Argo CD, IaC run orchestration, drift detection, OPA policy gates, and promotion between environments.
• Own fleet-scale change mechanics – module and chart versioning, staged rollouts, migration paths, deprecation – so one change reaches every environment without breaking any of them.
• Operate what you build: availability, upgrades, capacity, observability, backup/recovery, security maintenance, and incident response.
• Work with product and domain engineers, and turn their requirements into primitives other teams use on their own.
