You could help eliminate them at Skylo.\nSkylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity. We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites. No special hardware, no entirely new networks. Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth. We're not building toward this future. We're already in it.\nOur direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometers, in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide. And we're just getting started.\nAt the heart of it all is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN: a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. It's the infrastructure that makes true anywhere, anytime connectivity possible.\nWhen you join Skylo, you'll work at the intersection of three markets reshaping how the world stays connected: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT. Enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in the world's most remote places.\nThis is a rare chance to work on technology that matters, at a company that's already proving it works\nRole Overview\nWe are looking for a Senior Engineer - BSS Solution Design to lead the design and architecture of Business Support System (BSS) solutions that underpin Skylo’s commercial NTN services. You will translate complex business and product requirements into scalable, integration-ready BSS architectures - spanning product catalogue, order management, charging, mediation, partner management, and revenue assurance - working closely with MNO partners, internal engineering teams, and commercial stakeholders.\nThis is a high-impact role at the intersection of telecom domain expertise, solution architecture, and Skylo’s mission to bring satellite connectivity to every device on earth. The role is based in Bangalore and requires being onsite at least three days a week.\nKey Responsibilities\nBSS Solution Design & Architecture\nOwn end-to-end BSS solution design for new NTN products, services, and partner integrations - from requirements through high-level and detailed design.\n\nDefine solution blueprints spanning product catalogue, order management, mediation, rating, charging (OCS/OFCS), invoicing, CRM, and partner/wholesale settlement.\n\nEvaluate and select BSS platforms (Amdocs, Ericsson, Nokia, Comviva, Oracle BRM, or equivalent) for fitness against Skylo’s NTN use cases.\n\nApply TM Forum frameworks (eTOM, SID, TAM, Open APIs) to ensure interoperability and standards compliance.\n\nDesign for scalability, high availability, and high transaction volumes typical of satellite IoT and consumer NTN services.\n\nSystem Integration & API Design\nDesign integration architectures between BSS components and OSS, NMS, ERP, CRM, payment gateways, and MNO partner systems.\n\nDefine and govern BSS APIs using TM Forum Open API standards and RESTful/event-driven patterns.\n\nLead CDR/EDR mediation design and data-flow architecture to ensure accurate usage capture from Skylo’s NTN vRAN.\n\nCollaborate with platform engineering to implement microservices-based BSS components and event-driven integrations.\n\nDefine data models, entity relationships, and schema designs for billing, product, and subscriber domains.\n\nRequirements & Stakeholder Engagement\nWork with product, commercial, and finance stakeholders to translate pricing models, bundles, and promotions into BSS configuration and design artefacts.\n\nSupport MNO partner onboarding by designing interoperability between Skylo BSS and partner OSS/BSS stacks.\n\nProduce solution design documents, interface control documents, and gap analyses for internal review and partner sign-off.\n\nParticipate in pre-sales and partner discussions, providing technical authority on BSS solution scope and feasibility.\n\nContribute to BSS roadmap planning and architectural decision-making forums.\n\nDelivery, Quality & Leadership\nOversee BSS solution delivery across design, build, system integration testing (SIT), and UAT phases.\n\nEstablish and enforce BSS design standards, patterns, and best practices across the engineering team.\n\nEnsure revenue assurance controls, reconciliation processes, and compliance requirements (TRAI, FCC, GDPR) are embedded in solution design.\n\nMentor junior engineers and solution analysts; provide technical guidance on BSS domain challenges.\n\nDrive continuous improvement in BSS solution quality, performance, and operational observability.\n\nWhat We Look For\n8-12 years of experience in telecom BSS, with at least 3-4 years in solution design or solution architecture roles.\n\nDemonstrable experience designing end-to-end BSS solutions across two or more of: product catalogue, order management, charging/billing, mediation, CRM, partner/wholesale management.\n\nHands-on exposure to BSS platforms such as Amdocs, Ericsson BSCS/CRM, Nokia/Netcracker, Comviva, Oracle BRM, CSG, or equivalent.\n\nStrong understanding of TM Forum frameworks: eTOM, SID, TAM, and Open APIs (TMF620, TMF622, TMF632, TMF641, etc.).\n\nSolid knowledge of CDR/EDR processing, mediation pipelines, real-time and offline charging (OCS/OFCS), and revenue assurance.\n\nExperience designing APIs and microservices integrations for BSS in RESTful and event-driven (Kafka, messaging) architectures.\n\nProficiency in at least one backend language (Java, Go, Python) sufficient to review and guide implementation.\n\nSolid experience with relational databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL) and data modelling for BSS domains.\n\nFamiliarity with roaming, interconnect, and wholesale settlement processes.\n\nStrong documentation skills: solution design documents, interface specifications, HLDs, LLDs.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with NTN, satellite, or MVNO BSS - understanding of how non-terrestrial services layer onto MNO BSS stacks.\n\nKnowledge of 5G core charging architecture (CHF, PCF, NWDAF) and its BSS implications.\n\nExposure to cloud-native BSS deployments on AWS, GCP, or Azure.\n\nExperience with usage-based or consumption billing at scale for IoT/M2M services.\n\nTM Forum Frameworx certification or equivalent BSS/OSS industry certification.\n\nFamiliarity with 3GPP NTN standards (Release 17/18) and their commercial implications for BSS.\n\nExperience with wholesale BSS - designing or operating wholesale billing, settlement, and partner management solutions for carrier-to-carrier or MNO-to-MVNO commercial models.\n\nExposure to Data Clearing House (DCH) and Financial Clearing House (FCH) processes - including TAP/RAP file handling, roaming data exchange, and inter-operator financial settlement.\n\nWhat We Offer\nWith employees working across three continents, Skylo is proud to be an equal opportunity employer dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce.
