## About the Role

Aerospace or satellite experience is not required. If you can build reliable, production-grade software, the space side can be taught., * Strong professional Python backend engineering experience

 * Approximately three or more years of backend or full-stack software development experience; exceptional candidates with fewer years may still be considered
 * Experience building and supporting production software used by real customers
 * Experience designing, developing and troubleshooting APIs
 * Experience working with Kubernetes or within a Kubernetes-centric environment
 * General cloud and container experience
 * Experience building scalable, reliable and performant systems
 * Ability to work across different backend services rather than one narrowly defined component
 * Strong problem-solving skills, initiative and the ability to work without significant hand-holding
 * High standards for software quality, resilience and maintainability
 * Comfort working within a smaller, fast-moving engineering organization

Nice to have

 * Experience within a SaaS, growth-stage or Series A-C technology company
 * Experience with distributed systems or microservices
 * Experience using open-source technologies
 * Familiarity with software deployed in both cloud and on-premises environments
 * TypeScript, JavaScript or limited frontend experience
 * Experience with C++, Java, Rust or another lower-level language

## Description

We're looking for a Backend Engineer to help build the foundational systems behind a platform used to manage and automate satellite operations. This is a hands-on backend software engineering role focused primarily on Python.

You'll join a small, high-impact engineering team building scalable software used by real customers and supporting live satellite missions. You'll have broad ownership across the backend while collaborating with dedicated platform, frontend, command-and-control and aerospace-operations teams.

What you'll be doing

 * Developing production-grade backend applications and services, primarily in Python
 * Designing, building and maintaining scalable APIs
 * Building reliable, performant software used in live customer environments
 * Working across multiple backend services and projects
 * Deploying and troubleshooting applications in Kubernetes-based environments
 * Supporting software deployed in AWS and on-premises customer environments
 * Collaborating closely with platform engineers while maintaining a clear focus on backend development
 * Contributing to software architecture and technical decisions
 * Improving the scalability, resilience, maintainability and performance of the platform
