Building the largest satellites in orbit. Ultra-powerful, scalable platforms engineered for LEO, MEO, GEO and cislunar missions. Explore the next-generation of satellites. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, First Round and ICONIQ.
About the role
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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Own day-to-day detection and response across the corporate environment, from alert triage and investigation through containment and remediation
- Administer and mature the SIEM, including log source onboarding, parsing and normalization, telemetry enrichment, rule tuning, and platform health, retention, and cost
- Write, test, and maintain detection content mapped to MITRE ATT&CK using detection-as-code practices, including version control, peer review, and automated testing
- Act as incident commander for corporate security incidents, coordinating stakeholders and delivering timelines, root cause analysis, and post-incident follow-through
- Build response playbooks and automation across SOAR, scripting, and vendor APIs to reduce time to detect, triage, and contain
- Threat hunt proactively across endpoint, identity, SaaS, and cloud telemetry using threat intelligence and hypotheses about adversary behavior
More about this role
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.
