Job Description Job Description K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by over $1 billion in total funding from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, ICONIQ, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and T. Rowe Price - and with over $1 billion in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers, we're mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space. The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today's and tomorrow's massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits. With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger - helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply. The Role As K2's Crypto Engineer, you will own the architecture and design of our Type-1 cryptographic integrations across the spacecraft and ground segment. You will carry these designs cradle-to-grave - from concept and trade studies, through implementation and integration, to NSA certification and accreditation, and into on-orbit operations. You'll define how K2's satellites protect command, telemetry, and mission data; partner with NSA, government customers, and certification authorities; and ensure our COMSEC architecture meets the bar for national-security missions while fitting the pace and scale of a high-volume satellite production line. This is a foundational role: you'll set the cryptographic standards the rest of the program builds against. Responsibilities Own the end-to-end architecture and design of Type-1 cryptographic integrations across the spacecraft, payload, and ground segment Lead crypto designs from concept and trade studies through implementation, integration, certification, and on-orbit operations Define COMSEC architecture for command, telemetry, and mission data protection, including encryption, key management, and key loading approaches Serve as K2's primary technical interface to NSA, certification authorities, and government customers on cryptographic certification and accreditation Drive the certification and accreditation effort, developing the artifacts, test evidence, and documentation required to achieve and maintain approval to operate Partner with flight software, avionics, RF, ground, and security teams to integrate cryptographic functions into the broader system architecture Support COMSEC handling, key management planning, and operational procedures for on-orbit fleet operations Identify and mitigate cryptographic and supply-chain risks across design and production Establish reusable cryptographic standards, interfaces, and processes that scale across K2's satellite production line Qualifications Bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related discipline 5+ years of engineering experience with cryptographic systems, COMSEC, or secure communications Direct experience with NSA Type-1 cryptographic equipment, integration, and certification processes Working knowledge of key management, key loading, and COMSEC handling requirements Experience taking a hardware or system design through certification and accreditation to operational use Strong systems-level thinking with the ability to reason from first principles across hardware, software, and RF boundaries Ability to work in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding startup atmosphere with competing priorities and aggressive schedules Nice to Have Experience with spacecraft, satellite, or other space-system cryptographic integrations Familiarity with cryptographic modernization initiatives and current NSA-approved algorithms and equipment Experience with RMF/ATO, JSIG, or other accreditation frameworks Background in RF, link design, or secure command and telemetry systems Experience supporting on-orbit or fielded operations Additional Requirements Ability to travel up to 25% of the time Active Top Secret or Top Secret SCI clearance required; ability to obtain and maintain access to additional programs as needed Ability to work irregular business hours to support critical project timelines or operations This role requires access to information controlled under ITAR/EAR; applicants must be a U.S. Person as defined by applicable regulations Compensation and Benefits Base salary range for this role is $160,000 - $245,000 + equity in the company Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks If you don't meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged! If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know. Export Compliance As defined in the ITAR, "U.S. Persons" include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans). Please consult with a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure whether you are a "U.S. Person."

Charlie Health Engineering, Product & Design
New York, New York
Job Description Job Description Why Charlie Health? Millions of people across the country are navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, but too often, they're met with barriers to care. From limited local options and long wait times to treatment that lacks personalization, behavioral healthcare can leave people feeling unseen and unsupported. Charlie Health exists to change that. Our mission is to connect the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment. We deliver personalized, virtual care rooted in connection-between clients and clinicians, care teams, loved ones, and the communities that support them. By focusing on people with complex needs, we're expanding access to meaningful care and driving better outcomes from the comfort of home. As a rapidly growing organization, we're reaching more communities every day and building a team that's redefining what behavioral health treatment can look like. If you're ready to use your skills to drive lasting change and help more people access the care they deserve, we'd love to meet you. About the Role Core Platform is a platform team. Our customers are Charlie Health's other engineering teams, and our job is to make them faster, safer, and more consistent. We don't ship product features. We build the patterns, services, and guardrails that other engineering teams depend on. As the Principal Platform Engineer on Core Platform, you will be the technical lead for the team building the platform underneath everything Charlie Health ships next: a federated GraphQL front door that fronts every client surface, the event substrate that carries every signal, the identity layer that authenticates every human and every AI agent, and the real-time world model state layer that gives our services and agents a live picture of care. You will be foundational in a replatforming effort, and the primitives you design become the platform's paved roads. This is a technical leadership role without direct reports. You own the team's technical direction, roadmap, and delivery. You will set direction for a team of Staff and Senior Platform Engineers, make the hardest design calls of the replatforming, and stay hands-on in the work. We build with AI as the default. Specs are the primary artifact, agents draft most of the implementation, and the quality gates this team owns are what make that safe in a HIPAA-regulated clinical business. Responsibilities Own the team's roadmap and intake. Balance incoming platform requests and near-term developer pain against long-term architectural investment, with support from the Director of Platform Engineering and the CTO Set the technical direction for the Core Platform team and break the north star architecture into projects the team ships quarter by quarter Run the team's delivery: planning, refinement, and the sprint cadence, with epics scoped to clear milestones and target dates Architect the federated GraphQL supergraph and govern its schema, including subgraph onboarding standards, contract enforcement, and caching and persisted query posture Build authentication and authorization for the platform, including agent identity: scoped, short-lived, audited credentials for non-human principals Design, build, and operate the centralized event substrate, including schema governance, dead-letter conventions, and the producer and consumer patterns that make async the default integration path between services Guide the technical execution of our strangler-fig migration through to cutover, working with product squads as they move onto the new platform Deliver the real-time world model state layer: the stream processing that turns events into state, and the live, low-latency state graph that services and agents query Facilitate the Architecture Advice Guild rituals and provide technical direction on architecture decision records for cross-team decisions and standards Raise the bar for spec writing and agent orchestration on the team, and review specs and agent output with the same rigor you would apply to a senior engineer's work Keep the platform services the team operates reliable: SLOs, monitor-gated deploys, incident leadership, and a seat in the on-call rotation Drive the technical evaluation for procurement and renewals of our critical platform vendors: evaluations, proofs of concept, usage and cost data, and build versus buy recommendations, partnering with the Director who owns the commercial side Mentor Staff and Senior engineers toward larger scope Requirements 10+ years of software engineering experience, including ownership of platform or distributed systems architecture at company scale. You have designed, operated, and evolved systems that other teams build on Hands-on experience with GraphQL federation at scale and with event streaming systems such as Kafka, covering design, schema governance, and production operation rather than just consumption Experience with skills, MCPs, harnesses, agentic tooling ecosystems, or agent orchestration for software development A track record of technical leadership without people authority. You have aligned multiple teams behind architectural outcomes and developed senior engineers Experience owning a team roadmap: intake, prioritization, and delivery planning alongside the architecture work You build with AI agents as part of your daily work. You write specs agents can implement, run agents for real delivery, and know where agent output needs human judgment Proficiency in the stack we run: TypeScript and/or Python services, Postgres, and AWS managed primitives Comfort operating production critical-path systems, including on-call, in a regulated environment Clear, direct communication with engineers, leadership, clinicians, and compliance This role requires 4 days per week in our NYC office.

Job Description Job Description Why Charlie Health? Millions of people across the country are navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, but too often, they're met with barriers to care. From limited local options and long wait times to treatment that lacks personalization, behavioral healthcare can leave people feeling unseen and unsupported. Charlie Health exists to change that. Our mission is to connect the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment. We deliver personalized, virtual care rooted in connection-between clients and clinicians, care teams, loved ones, and the communities that support them. By focusing on people with complex needs, we're expanding access to meaningful care and driving better outcomes from the comfort of home. As a rapidly growing organization, we're reaching more communities every day and building a team that's redefining what behavioral health treatment can look like. If you're ready to use your skills to drive lasting change and help more people access the care they deserve, we'd love to meet you. About the Role Core Platform is a platform team. Our customers are Charlie Health's other engineering teams, and our job is to make them faster, safer, and more consistent. We don't ship product features. We build the patterns, services, and guardrails that other engineering teams depend on. As the Principal Platform Engineer on Core Platform, you will be the technical lead for the team building the platform underneath everything Charlie Health ships next: a federated GraphQL front door that fronts every client surface, the event substrate that carries every signal, the identity layer that authenticates every human and every AI agent, and the real-time world model state layer that gives our services and agents a live picture of care. You will be foundational in a replatforming effort, and the primitives you design become the platform's paved roads. This is a technical leadership role without direct reports. You own the team's technical direction, roadmap, and delivery. You will set direction for a team of Staff and Senior Platform Engineers, make the hardest design calls of the replatforming, and stay hands-on in the work. We build with AI as the default. Specs are the primary artifact, agents draft most of the implementation, and the quality gates this team owns are what make that safe in a HIPAA-regulated clinical business. Responsibilities Own the team's roadmap and intake. Balance incoming platform requests and near-term developer pain against long-term architectural investment, with support from the Director of Platform Engineering and the CTO Set the technical direction for the Core Platform team and break the north star architecture into projects the team ships quarter by quarter Run the team's delivery: planning, refinement, and the sprint cadence, with epics scoped to clear milestones and target dates Architect the federated GraphQL supergraph and govern its schema, including subgraph onboarding standards, contract enforcement, and caching and persisted query posture Build authentication and authorization for the platform, including agent identity: scoped, short-lived, audited credentials for non-human principals Design, build, and operate the centralized event substrate, including schema governance, dead-letter conventions, and the producer and consumer patterns that make async the default integration path between services Guide the technical execution of our strangler-fig migration through to cutover, working with product squads as they move onto the new platform Deliver the real-time world model state layer: the stream processing that turns events into state, and the live, low-latency state graph that services and agents query Facilitate the Architecture Advice Guild rituals and provide technical direction on architecture decision records for cross-team decisions and standards Raise the bar for spec writing and agent orchestration on the team, and review specs and agent output with the same rigor you would apply to a senior engineer's work Keep the platform services the team operates reliable: SLOs, monitor-gated deploys, incident leadership, and a seat in the on-call rotation Drive the technical evaluation for procurement and renewals of our critical platform vendors: evaluations, proofs of concept, usage and cost data, and build versus buy recommendations, partnering with the Director who owns the commercial side Mentor Staff and Senior engineers toward larger scope Requirements 10+ years of software engineering experience, including ownership of platform or distributed systems architecture at company scale. You have designed, operated, and evolved systems that other teams build on Hands-on experience with GraphQL federation at scale and with event streaming systems such as Kafka, covering design, schema governance, and production operation rather than just consumption Experience with skills, MCPs, harnesses, agentic tooling ecosystems, or agent orchestration for software development A track record of technical leadership without people authority. You have aligned multiple teams behind architectural outcomes and developed senior engineers Experience owning a team roadmap: intake, prioritization, and delivery planning alongside the architecture work You build with AI agents as part of your daily work. You write specs agents can implement, run agents for real delivery, and know where agent output needs human judgment Proficiency in the stack we run: TypeScript and/or Python services, Postgres, and AWS managed primitives Comfort operating production critical-path systems, including on-call, in a regulated environment Clear, direct communication with engineers, leadership, clinicians, and compliance This role requires 4 days per week in our NYC office. Nice to Haves Real-time stream processing (Flink, Spark, KsqlDB, or similar) and graph databases (Memgraph, Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, Dgraph, or similar) Healthcare data standards (FHIR, HL7v2) and engineering in a HIPAA-regulated environment Time as a people manager for senior or staff level engineers A strangler-fig migration or large platform cutover you have led Prior work on a platform engineering team Fluency with domain-driven design or event storming Benefits Charlie Health is pleased to offer comprehensive benefits to all full-time, exempt employees.
