Candidates must possess a bachelor's degree in a related field and five years of experience developing large-scale, multi-threaded, distributed, or embedded systems using C++, C#, Java, or Perl. The role focuses on the critical problem of ingesting, decoding, and routing telemetry from spacecraft and ground appliances to ensure the health of the satellite constellation through reliable data.

What you'll do

  • Design, implement, and operate telemetry services and agents end to end.
  • Translate ambiguous requirements into technical designs, production code, and running systems.
  • Write high-quality C++ or other system/cloud code for resource-constrained and high-throughput environments.
  • Drive technical decisions and improve the operational reliability of critical data infrastructure.
  • Deliver complex features independently by decomposing large efforts into manageable tasks.
  • Mentor junior engineers through formal design reviews and code reviews.
