  • Build the APIs and tooling to integrate our cloud with remote antenna ground station networks

  • Collaborate with Data Engineers to define, manage, and maintain our data processing environments: development sandbox and production workflow, using tools like AWS Lambda, Jupyter Hub, and Apache Airflow

  • Integrate physical test hardware in our lab with our cloud systems

  • Architect systems to achieve low latency and fault tolerance

  • Deploy infrastructure and tools to workstations, on-premises data centers, and cloud environments

Qualifications

  • 5+ years experience as a software engineer in a team environment

  • Strong programming experience in Python, with knowledge of industry-standard data formats and schemas (ProtoBuf, YAML, JSON, etc)

  • Experience with cloud-native software development in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) using containers

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills

  • Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with new opportunities each week

Nice-to-have Skills

  • Experience with the Azure cloud ecosystem

  • Experience with IP networking

  • Experience managing CI/CD in cloud-based development, staging, and production environments

  • Have a passion for simple architectures and clean APIs

  • Strong Linux fundamentals and comfortable with Linux development and deployment environment

  • IT and Information security (authentication, encryption)

  • Web interactive UI design (for data access and visualization)

  • Experience smoothly deploying continuously evolving data services to customers

Salary

The salary range for this role is $95k - $195k and will depend on a candidate's skills geographic location, qualifications, and experience as defined during the interview process.
