Job summary

Globalstar runs a large-scale monitoring and data platform that gives our organization real-time and historical visibility into the health of critical satellite and ground infrastructure. We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to strengthen its reliability, performance, and on-call depth.

This is a broad, hands-on role spanning infrastructure engineering, data pipeline reliability, monitoring strategy, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, Data Engineering, or a closely related discipline, operating production systems at meaningful scale.
• Strong experience with modern data infrastructure: streaming or event-driven data pipelines, large-scale storage systems, and analytical query engines.
• Proficiency in at least one systems programming language (e.g., Go, Java, or similar) used for backend/data services.
• Practical experience with observability and monitoring tooling (metrics, logs, traces, alerting) in a production environment.
• Demonstrated on-call experience: incident response, root-cause analysis, and clear postmortem writing.
• Comfort with infrastructure-as-code and modern CI/CD or GitOps practices.
• Strong communication skills — able to explain technical tradeoffs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own the health and performance of a large-scale data and monitoring pipeline that ingests, stores, and serves high volumes of operational data.
• Continuously improve system performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability as data volume and usage grow.
• Evaluate, adopt, and integrate monitoring, alerting, and data-platform tools — both open-source and commercial — assessing build-vs-buy tradeoffs and leading pilots where useful.
• Design and maintain the rules-based, deterministic checks that operational teams rely on for critical alerting and data-quality assurance.
• Lead or contribute to incident response, on-call rotations, root-cause analysis, and postmortems for production systems.
• Support disaster-recovery planning and execution, including regional failover exercises and recovery validation.
• Assess current workflows and data practices, identify gaps, and drive phased improvement plans in partnership with operations and other engineering teams.
• Partner with engineering leadership and other stakeholders to plan capacity, prioritize investments, and communicate tradeoffs in clear, non-technical terms when needed.
• Champion infrastructure-as-code and automated deployment practices across the platform.
• Mentor other engineers and help build institutional knowledge so the platform isn't dependent on any single individual.
