About us
One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we're on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We're looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.
What you'll do
We are seeking a lead CI/CD Automation Software Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions for automated deployment, testing, and system provisioning. You will build and manage infrastructure-as-code using Ansible, Terraform, and similar tools, and create automated test environments that simulate production-like systems for performance and scale testing.
You will work with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot system issues, improve system reliability, and deploy updates. Your role will also involve developing and maintaining tooling and scripts in Python and Bash, and supporting observability with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK. Additionally, you will participate in on-call rotations for production support, incident resolution, and root cause analysis (RCA).
A strong understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, FreeRADIUS) is essential for supporting connectivity and configuration workflows. The role also requires active participation in Agile ceremonies, code reviews, and design discussions.
