• Expertise in scaling Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stacks to map technical telemetry to actionable business KPIs.
• Deep knowledge of network security (IPsec, PKI, TLS) and automated auditing for software and configuration drift.

Responsibilities

• Lead the logical integration of multi-vendor network elements (RAN, Core, HSS) across on-premises and cloud-native infrastructures.
• Validate satellite-specific configurations (ephemeris data, beam planning, frequency mapping) with partners for reliable link performance.
• Collaborate with Network Design and Cloud Application teams to define architectural best practices for optimized cloud-native integration and scalability.
• Manage the DevOps team to architect automated CI/CD and "audit-as-code" integration frameworks.
• Oversee execution of high-precision Methods of Procedure for software and patch rollouts, leveraging automation to minimize errors and maintenance windows.
• Define, audit, and enforce network baseline configurations and "gold standards," managing large-scale parameter changes for stability.

• Serve as the primary technical liaison, driving architectural best practices across engineering, deployment, and operations teams.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation packages including a stock option based equity program
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, retirement plan
• Monthly allowances for wellness and education reimbursement
• A generous time off policy, holidays, and the opportunity to temporarily work abroad
• Once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of developing and running world’s first commercial, live direct-to-device satellite network and service
