Job Details

As a team, we've launched five satellites into orbit, signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $750 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 400 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.

Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we're very excited for the impact we'll soon have in the Philippines, Mexico, and more!

Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career.

Senior Software Engineer - Software Integrations

As a Software Engineer working on software Integrations, you will play a critical role in building internal software that powers hardware design, system integration, and business process automation across our satellite development programs. You'll work closely with hardware, production, supply chain, and software teams to identify inefficiencies, streamline workflows, and scale tools to support our growing fleet of spacecraft.

This role supports both commercial and US Government satellite programs.

Role

• Design, implement, and maintain software systems and applications that support hardware engineering, manufacturing, and operational workflows.
• Integrate with key hardware design, manufacturing and procurement systems such as Altium, Arena, and NetSuite to enable seamless data flow and process alignment.
• Identify and implement automation opportunities to eliminate manual steps and increase velocity across engineering and business operations.
• Build intuitive, performant user interfaces that provide insights into workflow progress, efficiency metrics, and historical trends.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, refine workflows, and propose scalable software solutions.
• Own features through the full development lifecycle — from concept and architecture through implementation, test, and deployment.
  
  

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent technical background.
• 5+ years of software development experience, preferably in environments supporting physical product development.
• Proficiency with Python or similar high-level object-oriented programming languages.
• Experience with relational databases (e.g., Postgres) and REST/GraphQL API integrations.
• Experience deploying backend services to cloud environments (AWS, GCP, etc.).
• Background in building data pipelines and working with performant warehouses/data lakes (Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks).

Bonus

• Familiarity with manufacturing, logistics, and hardware design tools (Altium, Arena, Netsuite, First Resonance, Manufacturo, …)
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes
