On any given day you might build APIs orchestrating over-the-air updates across thousands of terminals, solve distributed systems challenges like certificate revocation and location-aware routing, or drive operational excellence for services supporting real customer traffic 24/7. You'll collaborate closely with embedded software, network operations, security, and platform teams to keep every terminal secure, connected, and current.
About the team
The CT Overlay team builds the services that bring Kuiper's customer terminal antennas to life. We own device identity, configuration management, firmware delivery, fleet orchestration, and location services — the software layer that sits manages the fleet of physical hardware and their management on the network. Our systems operate at constellation scale, managing tens of thousands of terminals across multiple regions with strict security and availability requirements. We move fast, ship often, and own what we build end-to-end — from design through production operations. If you like solving real distributed systems problems with immediate customer impact, this is the team.
