Job Description About the Company K12 education is one of the most consequential determinants of a child's future, and many families have had limited ability to shape how and where their child learns. State education choice programs are changing that. One of the fastest growing public education initiatives in the U.S., they give states the ability to put education funding directly in the hands of families, who can then choose the learning experiences that best fit their child, from schools and tutors to therapy, curriculum, and technology. But once these policies become law, states face an enormous operational challenge. They must stand up entirely new programs, manage the secure and compliant flow of public funds, approve and monitor thousands of vendors, support families at scale, and prevent fraud, all while delivering a high quality user experience. That's where we come in. We partner with state agencies to design, launch, and operate these programs on their behalf. We provide the technology, program operations, vendor ecosystem, and family experience that make them work in the real world. Today, we operate across multiple states, and our platform powers programs serving hundreds of thousands of students and billions of dollars in annual education funding. We're just getting started. We're backed by respected investors, and we're building the team that will take us to the next stage. We sit at the intersection of GovTech, EdTech, and FinTech. We are a public sector operator, a technology company, and a program delivery partner all at once. The work we do is civic infrastructure, and it determines whether families can access life changing educational opportunities. Why This Work Is Different We're in the weeds with state partners and internally with our product teams, turning ambiguous policy into real systems that families depend on. This means building a platform that meets each state's configuration needs while staying flexible enough to support all customers. We are not building bespoke software. If you want a highly structured environment, this will feel uncomfortable. If you want ownership, speed, and problems that actually matter, you'll feel right at home. About the Role As our Founding Security Engineer, you'll have full ownership of our security posture, shaping strategy, building programs from the ground up, and driving best practices across our entire technology stack and product suite. This is a high impact, high visibility role where your decisions will directly influence how we protect our customers, vendors, and employees. You'll partner closely with cross functional teams to embed security into everything we build and ship, champion solutions to emerging security challenges, and ensure we stay ahead of an evolving threat landscape. You're someone who embraces AI tools to work smarter, whether that's accelerating threat detection, streamlining vulnerability analysis, or improving how we respond to incidents. What You'll Do • Collaborate closely with cross functional teams to proactively identify, assess, and remediate security risks across our products and infrastructure, proposing enhanced controls and process improvements where needed • Perform static and dynamic vulnerability assessments and drive remediation efforts through to resolution • Evaluate security risks in AI systems and data pipelines, and leverage AI assisted tooling to enhance threat detection, vulnerability analysis, and security operations • Maintain and mature our SOC 2 Type II program, ensuring a secure environment for vendors, customers, end users, and employees • Design and implement security controls across our full technology stack, from application layer to cloud infrastructure • Translate complex security findings into clear, actionable remediation steps for both technical and non technical stakeholders • Continuously audit policies, controls, and procedures to keep security practices ahead of an evolving threat landscape • Embed security seamlessly into the developer workflow, including CI/CD pipelines, code review processes, and internal tooling, without compromising velocity About You • 6+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on application security, cloud security, DevOps, network security, or similar domains • Solid understanding of industry standards and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, with hands on experience driving organizational adherence • Experience applying AI assisted tooling to accelerate threat detection, code review, and vulnerability analysis • Experience deploying and operating SAST, DAST, and SCA tools across the software development lifecycle • Strong track record managing security projects end to end, from planning through delivery, within timelines and budgets • Experience with penetration testing tools, techniques, and methodologies, with a clear understanding of common vulnerabilities and remediation strategies Additional Details • Location: New York, NY. Available fully remote within the U.S. or hybrid out of our New York City office. The full team comes together once a year for an offsite. • Candidates not already based in New York City will be asked to travel to our office for an in person interview. • Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full time basis. • We believe everyone at the company should be compensated fairly. We set our salary bands based on compensation data from hundreds of companies at our stage. The salary range for this role is $180,000 to $250,000 plus generous equity, depending on experience and location. • Benefits include medical, dental, and vision plans, health services, short term disability, and unlimited PTO.

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."

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 From day one, you'll be hands-on with our integrated satellite-level test campaign, diving deep into the K2 bus and laying the foundation for what comes next. Within your first few months, you'll help define how we operate our first mission - shaping the tools, systems, and philosophy behind Mission Operations. As we move toward launch, you'll be at the heart of it all. Over the following year, your impact will grow: evolving our playbook from that first mission, scaling it to support multi-satellite operations, and ultimately pioneering the systems needed for full constellation control. The path to operating dozens-or hundreds-of satellites will be yours to help chart. The success of our constellations will depend on the foundations you help build. Responsibilities Define and operationalize our Mission operations concept for the first satellite mission, including procedures, tools, and real-time support systems Develop telemetry monitoring strategies, fault response frameworks, and command plans for pre-launch, LEOP, and nominal operations Collaborate closely with systems, software, and hardware teams to ensure operational readiness across all spacecraft subsystems Drive the roadmap for mission operations tooling, ground segment workflows, and long-term constellation management Serve as a key operator during on-orbit operations, responsible for real-time decision-making and coordination Operate spacecraft (interpret telemetry, send commands) during system tests at the factory, test facilities, launch sites, and during pre-launch operations Interface with customers to scope testing performed on their payloads, based on expected functions and failure modes of interest Assess risks associated with different integration and test approaches, justify test reductions and optimize vehicle build/test flows for at-rate production Qualifications Bachelor's degree in electrical, aerospace, mechanical, computer, or other relevant engineering discipline 10+ years of experience in an operations/integration/automation engineering role including 4 years of direct experience operating satellites on-orbit Experience testing and troubleshooting spacecraft and their related components and systems, including subsystem checkouts and system acceptance testing Familiarity with mission operations concepts such as LEOP, telemetry, commanding, fault protection, and anomaly resolution Experience building or contributing to custom tooling for telemetry, analysis, data pipelines, or operational dashboards Background in designing or scaling operational architectures for fleets or constellations Experience with scripting or automation tools (e.g. Python, Rust) Excellent conflict resolution and negotiation skills Nice to Have Hands-on experience with HITL or Flatsat software verification testbeds Experience working with GAaaS providers. Experience with Linux systems Experience managing contractual interfaces (e.g. customer, launch vehicle) Compensation and Benefits Base salary range for this role is $180,000 - $210,000 + 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).

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 From your very first day, you'll be hands-on with real spacecraft - leading integrated test campaigns, mastering the satellite bus, and working with world-class RE teams to validate system health. You'll then carry that experience into Mission Operations, where you'll command vehicles from the moment they leave the pad through the earliest moments in orbit. As we scale our fleet, you'll become an architect of on-orbit operations: designing the playbooks, tools, and systems needed to fly dozens, then hundreds, of satellites. This role is your chance to directly shape how we operate an entire space constellation. Responsibilities Author test procedures (manual and automated) used to confirm spacecraft hardware and software flight worthiness Lead high-visibility integration campaigns for development and flight hardware Operate spacecraft (interpret telemetry, send commands) during system tests at the factory, test facilities, launch sites, and during pre-launch operations Serve as a key operator during on-orbit operations, responsible for real-time decision-making and coordination Interface with customers to scope testing performed on their payloads, based on expected functions and failure modes of interest Identify and elevate off-nominal conditions during test, and drive issues to resolution by engaging with the wider engineering team Clearly communicate status, needs, and risks to the entire K2 Space team (and payload providers) during high-intensity test operations Assess risks associated with different integration and test approaches, and clearly communicate mitigations and trade-offs Qualifications Bachelor's degree in electrical, aerospace, mechanical, computer, or other relevant engineering discipline 1+ years of experience in an integration/test/automation engineering role (includes internships and design/build/compete extracurricular projects) Competency with analog and digital circuits, sensors/instrumentation, and software Familiarity with basic RF, fluids, statics and mechanics, and data acquisition systems Nice to Have Experience testing and troubleshooting spacecraft and their related components and systems, including subsystem checkouts and system acceptance testing Familiarity with mission operations concepts such as LEOP, telemetry, commanding, fault protection, and anomaly resolution Experience working in a clean room and with ESD-sensitive equipment Experience operating vehicles in a mission or production setting Hands-on experience with HITL or Flatsat software verification testbeds Proficient in Python and/or Rust Experience with Linux systems Excellent conflict resolution and negotiation skills Compensation and Benefits: Base salary range for this role is $100,000 - $150,000 + 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!

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 Critical to achieving K2's vision is deploying our 20-kW high-power spacecraft platform at scale across MEO, GEO, cis-lunar, and deep space. Realizing that vision means actively controlling the heat generated by the high-power payloads our platform hosts. This requires active thermal control systems such as pumped fluid loops, built from fluid turbomachinery, valves, accumulators, and pressure and temperature instrumentation. Scaling to constellations requires someone who can span the mechanical, fluid, electromechanical, and thermal-fluid domains and collaborate closely with the thermal, avionics, software, and production teams to deliver these systems at rate. As Principal Turbomachinery Engineer, you will define how K2 designs, analyzes, manufactures, tests, integrates, and deploys precision turbomachinery for integration into active thermal control systems.
