DevOps / DevSec

Role Overview

Aloft is looking for a DevOps/DevSec person to help us with our rapidly growing platform. Today, we serve over half of all the FAA LAANC airspace authorizations in the United States and help customers like Shell, Boeing and various government agencies with their drone operations programs.

At Aloft, we are devoted to safety culture not just in aviation but also for information security. We think that the safety of your aircraft is just as important as the safety of the data it collects. Towards this end, Aloft currently holds and actively maintains SOC 2 Type 2 Certification as well as an ISO 27001 Certification. Our security posture is very tightly integrated with our DevOps and as such, attention to detail is critical.

Our ideal candidate has experience in working with organizations that take security very seriously. They will also possess the ability to critically analyze how decisions and actions will impact the organization and actively mitigate downside risks where possible. Above all, this person should be an excellent written and verbal communicator. Aloft is a fully remote company and effective communication is our lifeblood.

Experience working with a company that holds and maintains security certifications and also deals in big data and continuous distribution. Aloft is a market leader in drone operations and airspace — if something goes down or is not done right, you’ll know very quickly.
