Intuitive Machines is an innovative and cutting-edge space company making cislunar space accessible to both public and private customers. Our mission is to further science and exploration, communications, and economic progress from the Earth to the Moon and beyond. With multiple NASA lunar missions in development and additional private missions on our manifest, we pride ourselves in supporting NASA, our customers, and the nation in paving the way to return humans to the surface of the Moon. Our world-class team includes experts in all aspects of spacecraft subsystems design, development, and test, on-orbit operations, and safety.

About the Position

We are looking for a DevOps engineer to help build, automate, and support the infrastructure and CI/CD systems our engineering and mission teams rely on. Most of our environment is on-prem, with some AWS, so you will work hands-on with servers, pipelines, and the tools that tie them together.

Responsibilities

  • Build, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines for builds, testing, artifacts, and deployments
  • Automate server provisioning and configuration using Terraform, Ansible, or similar tools so environments are consistent and repeatable
  • Administer and troubleshoot Linux systems, including services, permissions, storage, and performance issues
  • Deploy and support containerized applications, including testing changes and rolling back when needed
  • Set up monitoring and alerting, investigate failures, and fix recurring problems at the root cause
  • Check backups and test restores for the systems you support
  • Handle secrets, service accounts, and access in line with security requirements
  • Document your work so other team members can support and maintain it
  • Work with developers, IT, and security on network, access, and infrastructure needs
  • Take part in incident response and follow up on fixes

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or systems engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Strong Linux administration skills and the ability to troubleshoot problems independently
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
  • Comfortable with Git workflows, including branching, merge requests, tagging, and releases
  • Scripting in Python and/or Bash to automate tasks, with good logging and error handling
  • Hands-on experience with Terraform, Ansible, or other configuration management tools
  • Experience building, running, and troubleshooting Docker containers and registries
  • Solid networking fundamentals, including DNS, TCP/IP, routing, firewalls, and TLS
  • Experience using logs and metrics to track down and resolve issues
  • Works well independently, communicates clearly, and keeps others updated on progress

Preferred Requirements:

  • On-prem infrastructure experience with physical servers and virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, or Proxmox)
  • HPC clusters, job schedulers, or compute-heavy workloads
  • Administering self-hosted GitLab and runners
  • AWS experience (IAM, VPC, EC2, S3), including GovCloud
  • Monitoring and secrets tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, HashiCorp Vault, or OpenBao
  • Background in aerospace, test labs, or other regulated engineering environments
