We are building a next-generation network connecting  satellites, ground stations, and cloud infrastructure . This system must operate across  dynamic, intermittent links  and deliver data reliably into cloud-based workloads. We are looking for a  Network  Engineer   to strengthen the systems deployed directly at our antennas, a set of servers and network devices installed on-site to receive, demodulate, and transport satellite data to the cloud.   This is a hands-on role working across routing, overlay networking, edge systems, and cloud connectivity .     Your responsibilities will include:   Network Design & Architecture:  Design L3 network topology across satellite, ground, and cloud environments, define IP addressing schemes, segmentation, and routing domains and model connectivity patterns and failure scenarios.   Routing & Connectivity:  implement and operate dynamic routing, design route advertisement, filtering, failover strategies and handle intermittent and flapping connectivity.   Overlay & Secure Networking:  build secure multi-hop paths, ensure encryption, isolation, and performance. Implement secure tunnel configurations (WireGuard / IPsec). Define and enforce SSH access policies, firewall rules and least-privilege communication.   Automation & Infrastructure:  develop automation using Terraform/Ansible. Support scalable rollout and configuration management.   Operational Integration:  Align networking behavior with satellite scheduling and design safe state transitions and failover scenario. Improve observability.   Qualifications:   We’re looking for  Senior Network Engineer  with solid technical fundamentals and the drive to learn quickly   working across architecture, implementation and troubleshooting with strong ownership and problem-solving mindset.     Required Skills: Strong experience with  IP networking and routing (advanced level)     Hands-on experience with  BGP (design, operation, troubleshooting)  and distance vector protocols.   Solid understanding of   IP networking   (routing, switching, TCP/IP, VLANs, MTU, complex NAT) and of  Linux networking .   Experience designing and operating  VPNs  and  tunnelling  technologies in complex, distributed environments (WireGuard, StrongSwan, GRE + IPsec)   Experience with  AWS networking (VPC, TGW, Cloud WAN, VPN)  and  edge or hybrid networking environments .   Understanding of  overlay vs underlay networking.   Very strong experience with  automation  (Terraform, Ansible, or similar).   Strong interest in distributed systems, connectivity, or infrastructure engineering.    Ability to script or code in   Python, Bash, or Go.    Ability to debug complex distributed systems.     Nice to have   Exposure to  satellite, telecom, or RF systems  (non-essential)   Experience with hardware operations, rack installation, or cable management.   Familiarity with AWS or any cloud environment.     Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.
