About the role
- We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end incident lifecycle management for Sev 1-4: initiate bridge calls, identify the cause and impacted domain, page the correct on-call NRE, maintain bridge discipline with clear ownership and timelines, and drive to restoration.
- Engage and interface with vendor support teams (RAN vendor, Core vendor, cloud infrastructure) when incident resolution requires external escalation
- Support hypercare operations during major network launches, high-risk change windows, and special events, maintaining readiness and acting as first responder for any degradation during the hypercare window.
- Manage the open incident backlog at optimum levels: track ageing tickets, escalate stalled items, and ensure no incident closes without a documented resolution path or a justified deferral.
- Coordinate post-incident review (PIR) scheduling: compile the incident record, gather logs from in-house observability tools and other relevant sources, and deliver a structured problem statement to the domain NREs owning the root cause analysis.
- Handle internal, external, and MNO partner incident escalations and follow-ups
- Engage and interface with vendor support teams (RAN vendor, Core vendor, cloud infrastructure) when incident resolution requires external escalation; track vendor SLA response and escalate vendor delays to the domain NRE.
- Handle internal, external, and MNO partner incident escalations and follow-ups; interface with Market Operations, OEM contacts, and partner NOCs for joint incident resolution, ensuring external-facing communications are approved before transmission.
- Assure that Skylo's operated network meets agreed availability KPIs and MNO partner SLA commitments, proactively tracking availability metrics and flagging degradation trends before they breach SLA thresholds.
- Track top recurring issues and feed continuous improvement inputs: document repeat-incident patterns, identify the operational gap (missing runbook, stale threshold, absent alert), and route findings to the appropriate domain NRE for action.
Requirements
- 5-10+ years of experience in telecom/wireless operations, network operations, or NRE in a production 24x7 environment.
- Ticketing system proficiency (Jira, ServiceNow, or equivalent): incident lifecycle management, escalation workflows, and backlog hygiene.
- Experience with OSS/BSS platforms: FCAPS alarm management, event correlation, SNMP trap handling, or EMS integration.
- Familiarity with 3GPP NAS/NG-AP signaling flows, RRC state machine, or IMSI lifecycle procedures.
- Experience supporting hypercare operations, major network launches, or high-risk change windows.
- Grafana dashboards, Prometheus alerting, Loki log queries, or equivalent, with the ability to independently navigate to relevant signals during an active incident.
- Demonstrated ability to independently manage incident bridge calls: open the war room, maintain bridge discipline, drive to resolution, and produce a structured incident record.
- Strong understanding of telecom network environments and 5G functional components, with sufficient knowledge of RAN (CUSM, eCPRI, PTP/SyncE), 5G Core (AMF, SMF, UPF), and Cloud/OSS to triage intelligently and escalate with context.
- Incident and outage management expertise: ability to prioritize by urgency and impact, manage multiple simultaneous events, and operate effectively under high-pressure 24x7 conditions.
- Hands-on experience with at least one observability platform: Grafana dashboards, Prometheus alerting, Loki log queries, or equivalent, with the ability to independently navigate to relevant signals during an active incident.
- Kubernetes operational literacy: able to run kubectl get pods, describe a failing pod, read container logs, and identify health issues at the level needed to triage and escalate a platform-layer incident.
- Structured written communication: capable of producing clear incident timelines, executive stakeholder updates, and post-incident summaries under time pressure.
- On-call tooling experience (PagerDuty or equivalent): alert acknowledgement, escalation policy management, and on-call scheduling.
- Ability to span departments and build strong working relationships with RAN, Core, Cloud, Engineering, and external partner teams to drive joint incident resolution.
Nice to have
- Prior experience in a satellite, NTN, or space-to-ground connectivity operational environment.
Skills
- The world still has coverage blind spots.
- Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity.
- No special hardware, no entirely new networks.
- Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth.
- At the heart of it all is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN:
- a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks.
- It's the infrastructure that makes true anywhere, anytime connectivity possible.
- Enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in the world's most remote places.
- This is a rare chance to work on technology that matters, at a company that's already proving it works
- You operate across all three
- Skylo hubs (Mountain View, Espoo, Bengaluru) and across every network domain:
- RAN, 5G Core, Cloud Infrastructure, and OSS, ensuring incidents are triaged, escalated, and resolved with speed and discipline.
Compensation
- Competitive compensation packages including a stock option-based equity program
Benefits
- Our worldwide culture encourages a flexible approach to work, and we offer an attractive range of benefits:
- Competitive compensation packages including a stock option-based equity program
- Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, and retirement plan
- shift bridges the US overnight window, while Mountain View and Bengaluru shifts cover their respective regions, maintaining 24x7 continuous coverage.
- Support planned maintenance and change windows: validate pre-change observability coverage, confirm rollback readiness with the NI team, and execute rollback runbooks if a deployment causes service degradation.
Equal opportunity
- equal opportunity employer dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce.
