Summary
At Turion Space, our Platform Engineering team is building the infrastructure backbone that powers the next generation of space exploration. As a Senior DevSecOps Engineer, you'll architect secure, automated deployment pipelines and compliance frameworks that enable our engineering teams to rapidly deliver spacecraft control systems, autonomous satellite operations, and mission-critical applications while meeting the stringent security requirements of DoD and IC customers.
Our team’s mission is to enable Turion engineers to efficiently and reliably deliver products at scale, and support missions that can’t afford downtime or security vulnerabilities when hardware is operating hundreds of miles above Earth. You’ll help create the infrastructure for a self-service platform that is as reliable and cutting-edge as the spacecraft it supports.

What We Do
Turion Space is building the infrastructure to secure and sustain the future of space. Founded to address the growing need for space domain awareness, in-space servicing, and debris mitigation, Turion designs, builds, and operates spacecraft with real-world operational capability. Our vehicles are built for national security and commercial missions that require speed, autonomy, and resilience.
We believe the next chapter of space operations will be defined by who can act, not just observe. That’s why we’re focused on building platforms that move fast, adapt in orbit, and solve problems ranging from satellite servicing to tactical intelligence gathering.
We successfully launched our DROID.001 satellite in June 2023 and DROID.002 in March 2025. DROID.003 is scheduled for launch in 2026.
Why Work With Us
Turion Space is where startup grit meets real space missions. We build and fly spacecraft for defense, servicing, and domain awareness. No red tape, no sidelines, just hands-on work that matters.
