About the role
K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by $450M from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, T. Rowe Price, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Alpine Space Ventures, and others – with an additional $500M 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 planned through 2026 and 2027, we're Building Bigger to develop the solar system and become 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 groundbreaking Series C space startup, we’d love for you to apply.
The Role Not all heroes work behind a screen — some of them are pulling cable through a ceiling, racking servers in a closet, or making sure the all-hands presentation doesn't crash five minutes before the CEO walks in. As our IT Technician, you're the boots-on-the-ground force that keeps our physical technology environment running sharp. You'll build and deploy workstations, run structured cabling, maintain our conference rooms and AV systems, and be the friendly face employees see when technology gets in the way of their day. If you're the kind of person who gets satisfaction from a clean cable run, a perfectly imaged machine, or a conference room that just works — this role was built for you.
