Senior Cloud Security Engineer

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. Were not building toward this future. Were 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 were just getting started.

At the heart of it all is Skylos commercial NTN vRAN: a 3GPP standards-based cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. Its the infrastructure that makes true anywhere anytime connectivity possible.

When you join Skylo youll 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 worlds most remote places.

This is a rare chance to work on technology that matters at a company thats already proving it works
