Argentina, Spain, Uruguay, or Remote

About Satellogic

Satellogic is a vertically integrated Earth Observation company that designs, manufactures, and operates satellite systems, delivering decision-grade insights at scale to government and commercial customers. Our technology supports a wide range of use cases across climate monitoring, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, defense, and intelligence, helping organizations detect change, manage risk, and plan with confidence.

Responsibilities

Cloud-to-on-prem migration strategy
- Define the strategy and technical approach to deploy our ground segment infrastructure on our Sovereign customers' premises or private cloud.
- Identify AWS dependencies (managed services, networking, storage, IAM, etc.) across the ground segment subsystems and define on-prem equivalents or replacements.
- Partner with our IT infrastructure and engineering teams to sequence and de-risk the migration, incorporating lessons learned from parallel cloud migration work as it progresses.
- Build repeatable migration tooling and documentation so future on-prem deployments don't start from zero.
Pre-sales support and post-sales execution
- Determine the scope, cost, and lead time for the deployment of ground segment infrastructure, collaborating with Sales to write technical proposals.
- Translate the ground segment's compute, storage, networking, and redundancy requirements into concrete hardware specifications and vendor/procurement recommendations.
- Advise the customer on facility and site-readiness requirements (power, cooling, physical security, network connectivity) needed to host the system.
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for the customer's infrastructure planning, reviewing their procurement decisions against system requirements.
- Act as primary responsible for the execution of signed agreements in all things related to deployment of the ground segment, in collaboration with your colleagues in the Sovereign Solutions team, our Project Management Office, Engineering, and IT.
Training curriculum design & delivery
- Design a training curriculum that takes the customer's operations staff from zero to independently operating and maintaining the on-prem infrastructure.
- Develop training materials (runbooks, hands-on labs, troubleshooting guides) appropriate for a customer team that is standing up both the facility and the staff from scratch.
- Conduct in-person and/or remote training sessions with customer personnel, including travel to the customer site as needed.

Requirements

Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, IAM) and hands-on experience migrating workloads off of it to on-premise or hybrid environments.
Strong systems/infrastructure architecture background - comfortable specifying hardware (servers, storage arrays, networking gear) to meet defined performance, redundancy, and security requirements.
Experience designing and delivering technical training to external, non-expert audiences.
Comfortable operating with significant ambiguity - this migration path doesn't exist yet internally, and you'll be defining it.
Strong English written and verbal communication skills; ability to work cross-functionally with engineering and directly with customer stakeholders.
Willingness and ability to travel internationally regularly for extended periods.

Nice to Have

Experience with satellite ground segment systems, or other mission-critical/regulated on-prem infrastructure (defense, telecom, industrial).
Experience running cloud-to-on-prem migrations under a customer contract with fixed milestones.
Spanish language proficiency.

Be part of a diverse and inclusive team.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
Opportunity for professional growth and development.
