About the role
We are looking for a Senior Product Operations Engineer to join our Space team in Costa Mesa, CA someone who brings deep technical credibility and the leadership presence to match. This is not a management role, but it is a senior one: you'll be a technical anchor on a tight-knit team, the kind of engineer others look to when something breaks, when architecture decisions need to be made, and when the room needs someone who can cut through noise and drive clarity. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Active U.S. Secret security clearance (non-negotiable must currently hold and be able to maintain- preferred TS/SCI clearance)
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments deploying, scaling, debugging, and managing containerized workloads. This is core to the role, not adjacent
- Proven experience with STIG compliance and system hardening you've applied STIGs, remediated findings, and understand the "why" behind the controls, not just the checklist
- Strong experience standing up infrastructure in air-gapped/classified environments you understand the unique constraints and have operated in them
- Proficiency with Ansible Puppet and Terraform for building, managing, and versioning infrastructure as code at scale
- Strong scripting ability in Bash and Python writing production-grade automation, tooling, and operational scripts
