Description
The world still has coverage blind spots. You could help eliminate them at Skylo.
Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity. We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites. No special hardware, no entirely new networks. Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth. We're not building toward this future. We're already in it.
Our direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometers, in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide. And we're just getting started.
At the heart of it all is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN: a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. It's the infrastructure that makes true anywhere, anytime connectivity possible.
When you join Skylo, you'll work at the intersection of three markets reshaping how the world stays connected: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT. Enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in the world's most remote places.
This is a rare chance to work on technology that matters, at a company that's already proving it works
ABOUT SKYLO
Skylo is a global Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) service provider based in Mountain View, CA, offering a service that allows smartphone and IoT cellular devices to connect directly over existing satellites.
Skylo's direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, with more than 60 million square kilometers of coverage, in partnership with multiple satellite operators, mobile network operators (MNOs), Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs. Devices connected over satellite are managed and served by Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN — a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native base station and core. Skylo provides an anywhere, anytime connectivity solution that seamlessly roams between terrestrial and satellite networks. Our focus is on enabling connected services across three main verticals: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT.
HOW YOU WILL IMPACT SKYLO
As a Staff Network Reliability Engineer, Cloud Operations, in the Global Product Support & Customer Success organization, you are the Cloud Infrastructure domain authority within Skylo's production NTN network. Everything runs on the infrastructure you keep healthy — RAN NFs, Core NFs, OSS, BSS, and the observability pipeline itself. When a GKE node fails, when ArgoCD drifts, when a Persistent Volume Claim goes unavailable, when a PostgreSQL replica falls behind, when Prometheus WAL corrupts — you own the response.
You operate across Skylo's full hybrid cloud estate: GCP public cloud (GKE clusters, Pub/Sub pipelines, Cloud SQL) and on-premise private cloud infrastructure (bare-metal Kubernetes, hyperconverged compute, software-defined storage). You own 24x7 platform health, the observability pipeline (Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), persistent storage operations (PostgreSQL, Redis), and the operational interface with Network Implementation for all GitOps-driven infrastructure changes.
At Staff NRE level you go beyond keeping the lights on. You define and maintain SLOs tied to network SLA commitments, own error budget tracking, drive toil reduction, and partner with Ops Platform Engineering to automate the infrastructure remediation loop. You are the last technical stop before a Cloud Infrastructure problem becomes an engineering escalation — and you are a force multiplier, mentoring Senior NREs and contributing the operational requirements that shape Skylo's platform roadmap.
