Senior Cloud Security Engineer

About the role

The world still has coverage blind spots. You could help eliminate them at Skylo.

Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity. We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites. No special hardware, no entirely new networks. Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth. We're not building toward this future. We're already in it.

Our direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometers, in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide. And we're just getting started.

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.

When you join Skylo, you'll work at the intersection of three markets reshaping how the world stays connected: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT. 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

This role is located in Bangalore, India where we are onsite 3 days a week in office.

SUMMARY OF HOW YOU WILL IMPACT SKYLO

Skylo is building satellite-to-device (NTN) connectivity infrastructure connecting mobile network operators worldwide. As part of our growing InfoSec organization, we're hiring a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to own the security posture of our cloud infrastructure across AWS/GCP environments supporting our satellite network operations, ground infrastructure, and enterprise systems.

This is a foundational hire on our Platform Security pillar — you'll build controls, tooling, and processes largely from the ground up in a multi-cloud, multi-jurisdictional environment (India, US & EU). You'll building a modern InfoSec function for a company defining a new category of connectivity infrastructure. You'll have direct influence over architecture and tooling decisions rather than inheriting a legacy stack.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE

- Design, implement, and maintain cloud security architecture across AWS or GCP environments (IAM, network segmentation, workload security, secrets management, encryption/KMS)

- Build and tune cloud security posture management (CSPM), workload protection, and cloud-native detection capabilities

- Partner with platform/DevOps engineering to embed security into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)

- Own vulnerability management and hardening for cloud workloads, containers, and Kubernetes environments

- Support incident response and forensics for cloud-based security events

- Strong hands-on experience in one or more areas such as Cyber Defence, Security Engineering, Vulnerability Management, Cloud Security, or Infrastructure Security.
