Xona develops satellite navigation services delivering positioning, navigation, and timing data via a Low Earth Orbit network. Backed by NGP Capital.
About the role
Own cloud operations : You'll run our environments, from alpha to production, on AWS and Kubernetes. Your team helps software engineers scale their services, plan capacity needs, release often, and optimize costs. You empower different software teams by embedding security and infrastructure best practices into their workflows.
What they're looking for
- Strong infrastructure or SRE engineer who gets excited about running systems at scale and making them better every day
- Strong Kubernetes experience, including production operations, deployment tooling, networking, IAM, and GitOps patterns on hyperscale vendors, on-premises experience (OpenShift/etc) is also a plus
- Thoughtful about how testing/release workflow design affect system reliability in a microservices architecture
- Experienced with container orchestration (Kubernetes/etc), infrastructure-as-code (OpenTofu/Terraform/etc), and cloud networking
- You have great instincts for observability, and your alerts or dashboards caught real problems (OpenTelemetry experience is a plus). You understand what makes for effective tooling for a rapidly scaling software team
- You're opinionated about how to automate processes, maintain complex systems, and safely ship

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.
With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.
You'll get to support a growing satellite constellation as you operate the platform serving our worldwide PNT services on AWS and on-prem, plus our observability backbone built on OpenTelemetry monitoring.
We have a great culture of collaboration across engineering, platform, software, and hardware, and incredible teams building the navigation solutions that will define new generations of technology just as GPS did.
We care about great developer experience and you'll have support to push for great internal DX while enforcing the platform constraints that meet our strict performance and reliability are central requirements.
We're solving hard engineering problems: we want you to work with all of our software teams and understand their unique needs from our platform infrastructure, rather than living in a DevOps...
