As a Software Engineer on the Starlink Network Monitoring team, you will design and build scalable data ingestion pipelines to process high-volume telemetry streams from satellites, user terminals, gateways, and ground infrastructure in real time. You’ll transform raw telemetry into structured formats for alerting and analytics, develop frontend visualizations using Angular or React, and drive automation to enhance anomaly detection accuracy. This role involves maintaining software engineering best practices across the full stack, including experience with PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Docker, Kubernetes, and large-scale distributed systems. The position requires a strong background in STEM and proficiency in real-time analytics, with an ability to work on-call rotations for critical system monitoring at one of the world’s most ambitious space projects.
