About the Company
Spaceflux delivers sovereign-grade optical space intelligence through a global network of optical and an AI-powered cloud platform. We provide real-time tracking, characterisation, and analytics from LEO to GEO, supporting government and commercial missions with actionable intelligence in seconds. We also deliver tailored sensor system packages, specialist services, and domain intelligence consultancy.
About the Role
We’re looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to own the security and operational integrity of the Spaceflux platform. You’ll work closely with our engineering team to embed security into every layer of our software delivery pipeline, cloud infrastructure, and edge-deployed systems. This is a hands-on role. You’ll design and operate CI/CD pipelines with security baked in from the start, manage cloud infrastructure with a security-first mindset, and own our compliance posture for UK Government programmes. You won’t be writing policies from a distance. The platform is cloud-native, data-intensive, and operationally critical. We process data from sensors on five continents, handle UK Official Sensitive material, and serve government customers who have no tolerance for downtime or data compromise.
