Global GEO-LEO satellite operator for connectivity and broadcast
Eutelsat operates an integrated dual-orbit satellite fleet—37 geostationary and 600+ low-earth-orbit satellites—serving video, data, government, and broadband markets worldwide. The tech stack reveals a traditional enterprise backbone (SAP, Salesforce, Kyriba) paired with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern DevOps tooling (Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker), suggesting an organization mid-transition from legacy telecom operations toward cloud-native architectures. Active hiring across engineering, ops, and sales—with notable mid-to-senior concentration—signals sustained investment in both fleet modernization (4G/5G adoption, LEO expansion via IRIS²) and internal digital transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Security, Head of European Affairs, Tech Lead
