The posting

Role

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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Required Qualifications

  • 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).

Preferred

  • 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.

Location

This is an onsite/hybrid role based in Tempe, AZ or the Bay Area, CA – hardware work that’s hard to do remotely. Some travel expected for field deployment and vendor/manufacturing visits.

Benefits:

  • Generous equity
  • Competitive healthcare (including options for vision and dental)
  • 401(k)
  • Unlimited PTO

EEO & Reasonable Accommodations

  • Azora is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

About this Company

Azora is building high-bandwidth communications infrastructure for environments where fiber can’t reach. This work spans LEO spacecraft constellations, lunar exploration missions, GEO satcom, deployable optical ground for defense, and data centers both on- and off-world. To enable rapid global proliferation Azora is developing compact and modular optical terminals small enough to deploy from a backpack, and space terminals that support high speed optical links from LEO out to the Moon.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
