At Loft Orbital, we have just successfully launched our first two satellites that we fly and operate ourselves. We are now actively looking for backend engineers to join and help us build the next missions and the apps to test and pilot our spacecraft! 🛰️🛰️🛰️
We are based in San Francisco (California), Golden (Colorado) and Toulouse (France), and will consider remote positions.
About Loft Orbital
We build “shareable” satellites to make access to space much faster and easier. This means that we embark multiple customers on the same satellite, for example to take pictures, support IoT connectivity, act as blockchain nodes, etc… This service is powered by our hardware and software products that enable any payload to fly on a standard satellite, reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission. Our customers trust us to manage their space infrastructure, so they can focus on what matters most to them: operate their payload and collect their data.
What’s also special about Loft is that our devs get a satellite pilot training and certification. We believe to achieve the best, we need to eat our own dogfood. So when ready, you will be given the chance to play a role in satellite operations. We call this – brace yourself – being a “SatDevOps” !!! It’s pretty unique, especially when you finally get to take your very first own picture of Earth from space!
About the Role
As our first Data Engineer, you’ll be joining our Ground Software team in charge of developing Cockpit, the software solution we offer to our customers. In this distributed team across Europe and the US, you’ll be responsible for our data efficiency strategy and implementation.
*Even if you don't "check all the boxes", we strongly encourage you to still apply.
