## About the Role

* BS/MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
 * 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant work in networked systems or distributed services.
 * Strong skills in at least one of: Go, Rust, C++, or modern Python for backend/network services.
 * Solid understanding of TCP/UDP, sockets, serialization, and performance tuning of network services.
 * Experience with Linux systems programming and deployment (containers, systemd, CI/CD)., * Experience with satellite ground systems, CCSDS protocols, or SDR/communications software.
 * High-performance networking experience (DPDK, io_uring, kernel bypass, or 10/25/100GbE pipelines).
 * Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), message queues, and time-series telemetry stacks (Prometheus, InfluxDB, Grafana).
 * Exposure to DTN, custom ARQ protocols, or erasure coding for lossy links.

## Description

Build the software that moves data through Azora's space-ground optical network: link control, data plane services, scheduling, and the ground-side services that turn raw optical downlinks into reliable customer data delivery. You will implement the protocols and services the Network Architect defines - and help shape them with real implementation feedback., * Implement networking software for the ground segment: link management, framing/ARQ logic, data ingest pipelines, store-and-forward services, and customer delivery APIs.

 * Build the pass scheduling and orchestration services that coordinate satellites, ground stations, and weather data in near-real time.
 * Develop telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) software paths, including encrypted command uplink and telemetry processing.
 * Write high-throughput data plane code capable of sustaining multi-Gbps downlink rates from receiver hardware to storage and network egress.
 * Build monitoring, logging, and operational tooling for a distributed, multi-site network.
 * Develop simulation and test harnesses for protocol behavior over fading optical channels (packet loss, burst errors, outages).
 * Participate in on-call support of operational ground stations as the network scales.
