Telemetry Data Infrastructure DevOps Software Engineer III

Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight. As part of a small team, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of the data ingest pipelines and Dev Sec Ops  infrastructure that process large-scale telemetry from Blue Origin rocket engines.

You will drive technical decisions affecting the collection, streaming, indexing, and analysis of engine development and test data, and you will determine the methods and approaches used to scale these systems as engine programs grow. This position requires demonstrated depth building high-throughput data pipelines, event-driven architectures, and search and observability platforms, along with the judgment to make sound engineering tradeoffs with limited direction.

Together, our teams deliver the data platform that engineers rely on to monitor engine health, investigate anomalies, and accelerate test campaigns. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

As a Data Dev Sec Ops  Engineer III, you will own the design and delivery of data ingest and Dev Sec Ops  capabilities supporting engine telemetry, determining methods and approaches on new assignments with limited direction. You will solve complex problems spanning multiple systems, own schedule and technical milestones for your work, lead technical reviews, review the work of other engineers, and mentor junior team members.

You will work across teams and with internal customers and external stakeholders to align the data platform with program needs.

• Design, develop, and deploy secure, high-throughput data pipelines for large-scale engine telemetry streams, owning performance, scalability, and reliability outcomes.
• Contribute to and help define the Engines Dev Sec Ops  and data ingest roadmap, translating program needs into technical approaches and phased implementation plans.
• Design and implement streaming and event-driven architectures using event streaming technologies (Kafka, Kinesis, Apache Pulsar) to support real-time and near-real-time telemetry ingest and distribution across multiple consumers.
• Own the design, deployment, and tuning of search, indexing, and observability capabilities using the Time series databases like Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for high-volume time-series and log data, including index lifecycle, sharding, and retention strategies.
• Establish and improve Dev Sec Ops  practices across the data platform, including CI/CD pipeline design, infrastructure-as-code, automated testing, secrets management, and continuous monitoring.
• Design data models and storage strategies supporting multi-resolution time-series data (raw, down sampled, and aggregated) and implement the dashboards and data views (e.g., Grafana, Kibana) built on them.
• Develop AI/ML and LLM-based approaches for anomaly detection, health monitoring, and automated engine data checks, and…
