Starting Date: July–August 2026
Who We Are
Ecosmic is on a mission to reduce threat exposure in space by building software for Space Situational Awareness. We are a high‑tech, data‑driven space start‑up, bringing together an international team of engineers and computer scientists. We move fast, think deeply, and care about building things that matter.
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer
You will package in‑house algorithms into easy‑to‑use, reliable, and secure products and empower space engineers with software that facilitates the development of both new and existing algorithms.
How We Work
We work in small, cross‑functional teams where software and space engineers collaborate closely. We value open collaboration and mutual trust, creating an environment where people can grow continuously and feel genuinely valued. We are an async‑first organization, prioritizing clarity, documentation, and thoughtful responses over real‑time meetings. We intentionally keep meetings to a minimum and protect focused work. We care about work‑life balance and hold a high bar for quality and accountability.
A glimpse of our tech stack
Python for our backend, FastAPI for APIs, and C++ for performance‑critical components;
DynamoDB and S3 for storage;
AWS serverless services (Fargate, Lambda), with infrastructure‑as‑code via Terraform;
GitHub, Jira, Slack, and Confluence for collaboration;
We’re also exploring a shift from C++ to Rust, moving toward a more cloud‑agnostic setup built on Kubernetes. We provide a MacBook Pro (M5 Pro) as company laptop.
What We’re Looking For
7+ years of experience;
Extensive experience in software architecture and senior engineering roles;
Experience shipping products in a start‑up environment, enabling rapid iteration while maintaining a reliable and secure platform;
Strong judgement in balancing trade‑offs between scalability, maintainability, and speed;
Proven ability to improve and optimise technical workflows and team practices;
Familiarity with cloud‑native architectures and infrastructure‑as‑code;
Experience working closely with product and business teams in a B2B context;
Excellent communication skills and passion for mentoring and knowledge sharing;
Proficiency in English; fluent spoken and written communication;
Experience in on‑premise or hybrid deployments and orchestration with Kubernetes.
What You’ll Work On
Contributing to long‑term initiatives such as, but not limited to:
Unlocking on‑premises deployment of space algorithms with Kubernetes;
Continuously improving the developer experience of teammates (software and space);
Collaborating with space engineers and other software engineers to develop algorithms as services;
Designing and developing core algorithms and infrastructure from early‑stage prototypes to final deployment;
Enhancing and extending the observability of our systems.
These initiatives are mixed with short‑term tasks, such as reviewing PRs and design documents, contributing to code through business‑driven implementations and bug fixes, and reducing tech debt.
What We Offer
Flexibility and trust: freedom to decide where today’s office is; performance measured by objectives rather than hours;
Growth opportunity: Performance Reviews guide career progression tied to Stock Options; dedicated time and budget for growth;
Equilibrated work‑life balance: health and well‑being prioritized;
Competitive pay: €50,000‑60,000 per year, with potential to grow rapidly; plus €1,000/year in flexible benefits via benefits card. xjrgpwk
All benefits:
Remote work: anywhere in Italy; option to work from the historic building office in Turin;
Flexible working hours: core hours 10 am‑12 pm, 2 pm‑4 pm; rest flexible;
