LSST | Tucson, AZ

And now for something completely different… if watching the Fortnite black hole has given you the feeling that maybe you would like to find an actual earth-killing asteroid before it blows up our map…

At the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (https://www.lsst.org) we are building an astronomical observatory that will map the sky at unprecedented speed and depth.

We are looking for a senior security engineer with strong devops chops (or alternatively, a senior devops engineer with strong security credentials). Less exciting version here: https://ls.st/zc5

This is academia, so salaries are not what you are used to up there in SV, but it’s a chance to contribute to an awesome, if not historic, science project.
