Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Icarus was founded on the belief that the Stratosphere is the Forgotten Frontier and that reclaiming it will define the next era of aerospace and what is possible from the sky. We build solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 ft for weeks at a time, delivering persistent, affordable, and scalable presence from this layer of the atmosphere. 5+ years of experience in network engineering, IT security, or a related field
What they're looking for
- Deep hands-on expertise with VPNs, routers, switches, firewalls, and network architecture—you can configure, troubleshoot, and design from scratch
- Direct experience with the government IATT process—you have taken at least one system through a full IATT end-to-end and have seen the ATO process
- Familiarity with STIGs, ACAS/Nessus scanning, and DoD cybersecurity compliance frameworks (RMF, NIST 800-171)
- Experience working with or supporting DoD/military customers on network security
- Comfort working across satellite communications, tactical radio networks, and conventional IP networking
- Strong documentation skills—you can produce the compliance artifacts that government reviewers need

Re-establish and maintain dominance in the Stratosphere.
Design, deploy, and maintain networking infrastructure
- Configure and manage routers, switches, VPNs, firewalls (including Palo Alto), and network segmentation for both on-site and field-deployed systems
- Solve novel networking challenges at field events and exercises—each deployment may involve different radio systems, routing paradigms, and connectivity constraints
- Build and document network architectures that are flexible enough to support rapidly evolving mission requirement
- Own and drive the IATT and ATO process end-to-end, building on Icarus’s existing IATT foundation. There will be lots of support from the IT team, the software team and the firmware team, but you will own the network.
- Conduct and manage STIG reviews, ACAS/Nessus vulnerability scans, and remediation across...
