About us

One team. Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we're on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We're looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.

What you'll do

In Viasat Access Edge Devices team, we are looking for members of a software architecture team that can design, write, and deliver software services for our edge devices targeted for aviation, martime and other markets. Our software teams improve the availability, scalability, and operational efficiency of the services by building automation to prevent the recurrence of field issues.

As a Software Architect, you will be directly involved in the creation of new designs, architectures, and methods for large-scale distributed systems. You will work closely with product managers, product owners, senior engineers, and team leads to ensure that design roadmaps are aligned with long-term strategic vision and immediate term business priorities. As part of our DevOps model, you will develop the service end to end including conducting periodic on-call duties using a follow-the-sun model.

As a software architect, you will also be responsible for evolving the software practices in use by the development teams to drive improvements to quality, agility.

The day-to-day

Your team is engaged in an exciting integration of multiple global satellite networks. Our venues meet the market needs of multiple businesses including maritime, business aviation, and commercial aviation. As some of our markets have very high standards and are regulated, our architecture must be flexible enough to meet the needs of new and emerging markets while satisfying our mature process and procedure-forward customers.

You will take inputs from customers, product owners, regulatory restrictions, and combine them with your technical expertise to help design a new generation of software architecture that scales across all markets. The ability to express these architectures as roadmaps with iterations on the way to longer-term end goals is essential. Your designs should be easily expressed in requirements that DevOps teams can execute with minimal direction. You will also be responsible to enabling software practices that aid with improving our development agility, scalability, reliability and quality.

As a Hybrid position, this role provides the advantage of collaborating in-person at one of our global offices for three or more days each week, while also allowing the flexibility to work remotely two days a week.
