Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and operational dashboards to ensure system reliability and rapid delivery of new capabilities.
Coach and mentor engineers on the team, driving a culture of high-quality code, thorough design reviews, and continuous improvement.
A day in the life
You will start many mornings reviewing operational metrics for the data-plane services your team owns, then shift into design discussions with satellite network and ground station engineers to define how new traffic flows will be processed. Afternoons often blend hands-on coding with code reviews, where you help raise the quality bar. You will regularly partner with product and systems engineers to translate customer connectivity requirements into technical designs, and you will participate in on-call rotations to keep the services that connect customers to the LEO network running smoothly.
