Job description

AST SpaceMobile and our global partners are building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network to be accessible by standard smartphones. Called SpaceMobile, this ultra-powerful network is being designed to provide connectivity at 4G/5G speeds everywhere on the planet – on land, at sea and in flight.

 

Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled DevOps / Cloud Engineer to join the team responsible for managing core network platform - OSS. In this role, you will design, deploy, and operate cloud and hybrid infrastructure, build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, and take ownership of running third-party vendor software in our environment. You will bridge the gap between infrastructure and application operations, ensuring our systems are scalable, secure, highly available, and cost-efficient. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, deploy, and manage AWS cloud and hybrid infrastructure solutions using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools
  • Deploy, operate, and maintain cloud environments across multi-account and multi-region AWS architectures
  • Deploy, configure, and operate vendor-supplied software within our cloud/hybrid environment, serving as the operational owner for these applications
  • Coordinate with vendors on installation, upgrades, patching, and configuration changes, translating vendor requirements into infrastructure and deployment solutions
  • Ensure vendor applications meet our availability, performance, and security standards through own monitoring and incident management processes
  • Own the security, availability, and reliability of infrastructure, applying best practices for IAM, encryption, and vulnerability management
  • Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines that automate testing, security scanning, and deployment workflows
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and operational tasks to eliminate manual toil
  • Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling to enable proactive issue detection and resolution
  • Analyze cloud performance metrics and resource utilization to continuously optimize system efficiency and control costs
  • Partner closely with internal and vendor teams to align on cloud infrastructure deployment and integration practices - bridging code and underlying infrastructure
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to teammates, driving engineering excellence 

Qualifications 

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.

Experience:

A minimum of 3+ years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or site reliability engineering roles.

  • Public Cloud Expertise (AWS, Azure or GCP): Proven hands-on experience with public cloud services including compute, networking, databases, K8s, IAM, monitoring
  • Infrastructure as Code: Proficiency in Terraform or AWS CDK for building and managing infrastructure at scale
  • CI/CD: Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD)
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Solid experience with Docker and K8s for application deployment and management
  • Hybrid & Multi-Environment Operations: Experience operating workloads across cloud and on-premises or hybrid environments
  • Third-Party Software Operations: Experience deploying and managing vendor-provided applications in cloud environments, including coordination of upgrades, patching, and configuration
  • Databases: Hands-on experience with SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL/RDS) and NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB, Redis/Elasticache) databases
  • Messaging & Queuing: Familiarity with message-driven systems such as SQS, RabbitMQ or Kafka
  • Scripting & Automation: Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation tasks 

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • AWS or Azure/GCP certification (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Solutions Architect)
  • Skills in remote debugging and troubleshooting distributed systems
  • Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001)
  • Experience with observability platforms (e.g. Prometheus/Grafana, ELK)
  • English proficiency at B2 level or above; able to collaborate effectively with global, cross-functional teams
  • Experience in software development is a plus
  • Background in telecom, satellite, or other high-availability, mission-critical environments is a plus 

Soft Skills:

  • Strong problem-solving mindset with a bias toward automation and operational efficiency
  • Collaborative and communicative — comfortable working in a globally distributed team
  • Ownership mentality - take responsibility for end-to-end reliability of systems under your care
  • Adaptable and self-directed, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Meticulous attention to detail in documentation, change management, and operational procedures 

Technology Stack:
