Principal - Wholesale Roaming — Billing, Settlement & Standards

Skylo Technologies•Mountain View, CA

2d•Remote

About The Position

Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity, connecting smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites without special hardware or new networks. Their direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering over 72 million square kilometers, in partnership with leading industry players. At the core of this is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN, a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that bridges terrestrial and satellite networks for true anywhere, anytime connectivity. Joining Skylo means working at the intersection of mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT, enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in remote places. This role is fully remote in the U.S. Skylo’s multi-TADIG, multi-PLMN, and multi-clearing-house footprint creates complex settlement combinations that legacy roaming processes were not designed to handle. This role is for a hands-on Senior Specialist to own the settlement architecture, wholesale pricing constructs, clearing strategy, and external standards work needed for NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) roaming at scale. The individual will act as a deep subject matter expert to turn complex standards and numbering dependencies into clean operating models.

Requirements

8+ years of hands-on experience in wholesale roaming billing, network settlement, clearing, revenue assurance, or telecommunications standards.
Advanced technical knowledge of TAP3, RAP, BCE, CDR/mediation flows, DCH/FCH operations, and dispute management.
Deep understanding of PLMN, TADIG, IMSI network numbering, roaming identities, and their direct impact on routing and settlement.
Proven experience developing wholesale pricing or financial models and converting them into operational billing controls.
Solid professional credibility representing an operator or technology provider inside GSMA or comparable standards forums.
Strong cross-functional coordination skills with an ability to create workable mechanisms where industry standards are incomplete.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience with NTN, NB-IoT, IoT roaming, NRTRDE, or multi-TADIG and multi-PLMN architectures.
Familiarity with major clearing platforms, GSMA portals, BigQuery/SQL, Jira, and Confluence.
Past experience negotiating clearing relationships or influencing global industry specifications.

Responsibilities

Architect Routing Logic: Design and maintain accurate CDR, mediation, TAP/RAP/BCE, and reconciliation flows across every relevant TADIG × PLMN × DCH/FCH combination.
Prevent Leakage: Define routing and control logic so data usage reaches the correct clearing partner and settlement entity cleanly without leakage or duplication.
Oversee Reconciliation: Manage the daily reconciliation cadence, control totals, dispute handling, root-cause analysis, and executive reporting.
Design Pricing Frameworks: Build and structure NTN wholesale pricing mechanisms—including activation, usage, and tiering constructs—mapping them directly to feasible billing methods.
Manage Clearing Vendors: Handle the technical execution strategy for DCH/FCH partners, clearing setups, NRTRDE controls, and ongoing service performance.
Industry Representation: Represent Skylo within active GSMA working groups, including WSOLU, IDSBCE, BCE, and NRG NTN.
Cross-Functional Partnering: Partner internally with Finance, Product, BSS, Network, Legal, and Sales to convert commercial intent into implementable, auditable settlement processes.
