Senior DevOps Engineer (space sector)

Polar Night Software is a software consultancy company based in Łódź, and we are working mainly with Nordic clients. We were founded in early 2020 and we are growing. We have several good references from Nordic customers and they trust that we deliver quality solutions. 

Senior DevOps Engineer

We are looking for an engineer who is ready for an extremely interesting and important project in space and satellite sector. There are some special requirements, like relocation to Finland for the duration of the project and passing security clearances, but it's more than worth it for someone who wants to be part of building something big.

Background information

• Delivery is done in an on-premise environment.

• You need to understand both high-level architecture and its execution.

• The development part is significant: you develop the environments and tooling to enable the delivery of entire systems.

• There would be a trial period of about 3 months, and after that commitment of 1-2 years.


• Relocation to Finland is mandatory

• A security clearance will be conducted

• Salary will be competitive

• Location: Helsinki area, Finland

Technical Requirements

• IaC: Advanced Terraform skills (experience with modularity, providers, and parallelization).

• Orchestration: Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes (install, upgrade, CNI, ingress, storage).

• Virtualization: Strong proficiency in Virtual Machines (VMs) and bridging the gap between cloud-native and physical hardware (e.g., vSphere).

• Coding: Proficiency in Go (Golang) or Python for building custom automation and internal tooling.

• Observability: Practical experience in SLO/SLI design and the LGTM-stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir).

  
  

Expectations for the consultant

• Big Picture Thinker: You can look at a massive problem, understand how it integrates into the “large step,” but focus your energy on executing the “small step” immediately.

• Independent Driver: You don’t wait for instructions; you push for value and deliver results organically.

• Extreme Ownership: You have a “speed and act” mindset.
