Non-terrestrial network platform connecting devices over satellite
Skylo operates a 3GPP standards-based satellite network platform designed to extend cellular coverage to remote and outdoor areas. The stack reveals a cloud-native, high-volume infrastructure play: GCP + Kubernetes + Kafka + BigQuery handling telecom workloads at scale, paired with extensive testing (Robot Framework, Selenium, JMeter) and monitoring (Prometheus). The engineering-heavy hiring mix (30 of 45 roles) and active projects around direct-to-device satellite launches and provisioning platforms signal a company scaling from prototype toward commercial deployment.
Skylo provides non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity, allowing standard smartphones and IoT devices to connect via satellite using 3GPP standards. The company operates a cloud-native vRAN (virtual radio access network) platform that integrates with existing satellite and terrestrial operators, targeting critical workflows in agriculture, maritime, logistics, and mining alongside mass-market consumer devices. Headquartered in Mountain View with engineering offices in India and Finland, Skylo is actively hiring across engineering, product, and finance to scale platform infrastructure and commercial operations.
Skylo uses GCP, Kubernetes, BigQuery, Kafka, and Prometheus for cloud infrastructure; Python, Java, and Go for backend services; React and Angular for frontend; Robot Framework, Selenium, and JMeter for testing; and 3GPP and 5G NR standards for satellite protocols.
Key projects include a direct-to-device satellite service launch, a subscriber and provisioning platform, a data mobility platform, cloud infrastructure scaling, CI/CD integration, and API management optimization.
