This is a high-impact leadership role where you'll drive multiple concurrent projects that directly enable network operations at unprecedented scale. The Opportunity You'll architect and deliver mission-critical tools and services that power network operations for our dynamic space-based laser link infrastructure. Working in an environment where ambiguity meets innovation, you'll transform complex, evolving requirements into elegant, scalable solutions while mentoring and leading a team of engineers to execute your vision. What You'll Build Design and develop sophisticated multi-layered services that collect real-time telemetry from our satellite constellation, analyze network topology, and intelligently correlate data to identify and resolve faults. Your systems will automatically trigger remediation runbooks, escalate issues to appropriate teams, and leverage machine learning and generative AI to detect anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and predict customer impact before it occurs., * Lead end-to-end automation initiatives as a team leader, developing sophisticated tools and services that address complex network operations, debugging, and troubleshooting challenges while guiding team efforts and priorities. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze network architecture, stakeholder requirements, and customer needs; architect and implement software solutions that deliver measurable business value. * Design and implement AI/ML solutions utilizing AWS services to enhance space network operations and problem resolution. * Provide technical leadership and mentorship as a team leader to software/network engineers through effective task delegation, project management, and onboarding programs to optimize team productivity and development cycles. A day in the life As Senior Software Engineer, you begin your day by reviewing satellite network data, identifying anomalies, and formulating mitigation plans. You then analyze the performance metrics of the team's software tools/services, using these insights to guide your decision-making. Drawing on your deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps, you lead cross-functional discussions to collaboratively design scalable architectures that automate data collection, analysis, and issue resolution. Throughout the day, you mentor junior engineers, align stakeholders, update project plans, showcasing your technical prowess, problem-solving skills, exceptional leadership to ensure the reliable operation of complex space satellite network., The Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) organization is responsible for the design, development, and manufacturing of critical hardware and software that makes laser links between satellites possible. We are rapidly expanding and developing a new Network Automation team. We are looking for a senior software engineer to join and lead our new team to develop novel software services that can automate fault finding based on satellite data, automate workflows and operational procedures, and use ML/AI to find and correlate anomalies in the space network, identify root causes, and predict customer impacts. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - CSS is DOOMed](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1838-wearedevelopers-live-css-is-doomed) - [Reliable scalability: How Amazon.com scales on AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/983-reliable-scalability-how-amazon-com-scales-on-aws) - [Building Systems that Last](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1389-building-systems-that-last) - [20 Years of Solving Unsolvable Problems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100214-20-years-of-solving-unsolvable-problems) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers)
