## About the role

Seasats' vehicles operate for months at a time, often thousands of miles from land, and every one of them is streaming telemetry, health data, and mission state back to shore.

- Strong experience in security principles and implementation

- Experience with cloud infrastructure, including designing for reliability and cost at scale
