🛰 Establish first contact with satellites freshly delivered to space?
📡 Have a positive impact on the space industry by leveraging existing assets?
Then, it’s time to join Skynopy!
Skynopy is a fast-growing New Space company building the next generation of ground infrastructure to connect with satellites around the world.
Founded in September 2023 by two former directors at Loft Orbital (Next40), Skynopy has grown to a team of 20 and already operates a global network of 30 antennas worldwide. We are developing the most responsive, secure, and scalable satellite connectivity platform on the market — and have recently raised a €15M seed round to accelerate the deployment of sovereign, cloud-integrated, scalable antennas. By combining our own antennas with a global network of partners, we enable seamless, API-driven access to satellite data.
We’re always looking for talented people who share our ambition and want to play a role in shaping the future of space connectivity. Even if no current position fits your profile, feel free to send a spontaneous application — we’re excited to meet curious, driven individuals eager to grow with us.
