DevOps Engineer, Flight Software

About the role

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

Reliable’s Platform Engineering team drives the productivity – and joy – of Reliable’s flight software developers.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make the developers at Reliable love working on safety-critical software. You will help identify frustration points and build solutions that delight Reliable developers, including:
