Infrastructure Engineer

Lead cloud infrastructure, DevOps, CI/CD, build tooling, release management, testing pipelines, and data infrastructure for aerospace software teams. Develop reproducible workflows spanning firmware, spacecraft software, ground systems, and cloud services. Manage versioned datasets, ML training infrastructure, cloud reliability, security, and cost. Partner with engineering and mission operations teams, resolve complex system issues, contribute to architecture, and mentor engineers. The role may be onsite in Austin or Littleton, or remote with regular travel to Austin., Firefly is seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own and evolve the cloud infrastructure and DevOps and that powers our Vision Navigation System (VNS) and Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) teams-and to support Firefly’s Aerospace Software Engineering (ASE) as a whole.

In this role, you will build the CI/CD systems, build tooling, release management, cloud infrastructure, and data pipelines that connect development, simulation, testing, and mission operations. You will establish unified packaging, release, and test workflows spanning firmware, spacecraft software, ground systems, and cloud services, and improve engineering efficiency across ASE by improving build times, test reliability, and deployment reproducibility.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, build systems, hardware-in-the-loop (HWiL) test beds, an interest in aerospace software and perception systems, and an appetite for solving complex problems where software, data, and mission requirements meet.

This position may be based onsite at Firefly Aerospace’s facilities in Austin, Texas, or Littleton, Colorado. Fully remote candidates are also considered, provided they can travel to Austin for approximately one week every other month-up to six weeks annually-to support test activities, hardware integration, mission milestones, and mission operations. Additional travel may occasionally be required based on program needs.
