Overview

Infostellar connects satellite operators to their spacecraft through a global network of ground stations. Our Stellar Station platform revolutionizes the ground-services segment of the space industry by enabling satellite operators to access a diverse and ever-increasing network of antenna sites through a single cloud-based API interface. This allows operators to add ground stations to support their missions in a simple and predictable, and scalable manner.

Here at Infostellar, our software engineers are challenged with:

  1. Developing a ground station-sharing platform that virtualizes networks by connecting different types of ground stations all over the world
  2. Creating fast and scalable backend systems on a global infrastructure
  3. Building an intuitive and flexible ground station service management UI (pass scheduling, SLA monitoring, billing dashboard)
  4. Minimizing the user’s efforts to integrate with the platform to accelerate the network expansion
  5. Ensuring the platform is secure and reliable by developing technical solutions and new tools to help mitigate security and reliability
  6. vulnerabilities and automate repeatable tasks. If you’re driven by interesting, challenging problems that require sound software engineering solutions and have always dreamt of working in the space industry, then do reach out. 

We’re building something special, and we’d love for you to be a part of it. To see some of what we’re doing, have a look at our open-source repositories.
