The position offers an unique opportunity to work on mission-critical systems that directly impact the operation of thousands of satellites and ground assets. You'll be developing highly reliable web applications and data pipelines that process gigabytes of telemetry data every second, ensuring the safety and optimal performance of the Starlink network.

As a Full Stack Engineer, you'll work across the entire technology stack, from frontend development using JavaScript/TypeScript to backend systems in Python, C#/.NET, and Java.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the direct impact you'll have on the project's success. There are no project managers - engineers are directly responsible for delivering the best operator experience. You'll be part of a team that's not just building software, but actively shaping the future of global internet connectivity and space technology.

The compensation package is highly competitive, ranging from $120,000 to $170,000 based on experience, plus additional benefits including equity options, comprehensive healthcare, and retirement plans. This is an opportunity to join a company that's literally reaching for the stars, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
