Backend Software Engineer - Space Mesh Networking
Pleasanton, California, United States
Full-time
Senior Software Engineer - Space Mesh Networking
The Vision
We are orchestrating the future of global connectivity by building a next-generation software-defined networking platform. Our mission is to manage complex, high-speed mesh networks across terrestrial, airborne, and orbital environments. If you are passionate about solving the "impossible" physics of deep-space and planetary communications, this is your playground.
The Mission
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will join an elite team of veterans from top-tier tech labs. You wont just be maintaining code; you will be architecting the engine that powers link modeling and autonomous network orchestration.
Key Challenges
Massive Scale: Optimize distributed systems to handle complex link computations across heterogeneous compute environments.
High Performance: Migrate critical CPU-bound workloads to GPU-accelerated architectures to unlock real-time processing.
Algorithmic Excellence: Refine production algorithms using signal processing and linear algebra to maximize system capacity.
Full Ownership: Drive technical design from napkin sketch to production launch.
Your Toolkit
Experience: 7+ years in software engineering, with at least 3 years focused on large-scale infrastructure, distributed systems, or networking.
Languages: Mastery of Golang, C/C++, Rust, or Java.
Architectural Depth: Proven ability to lead technical design and build for system health, diagnosis, and reliability.
Modern Stack: Familiarity with cloud-native ecosystems, container orchestration (K8s), and distributed data systems.
Analytical Mindset: Proficiency in performance debugging and data visualization for complex systems.
Why This Role?
Unrivaled Impact: Your code will directly influence critical global communications and national-scale infrastructure.
Elite Peer Group: Work alongside seasoned engineers in a high-trust, low-ego environment.
Future-Proof Tech: Engage with cutting-edge problems in cislunar networking and optical communications.
Comprehensive Rewards: Competitive salary, meaningful equity, flexible hybrid work, and premium health/retirement benefits.
