Full-Stack Engineer: Shape the Aerospace Internal Tools

PAVE Space SA.; Schweiz; Remote; CHF 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

PAVE Space is building LYOBA, a heavy kick stage moving up to 4-tonne payloads from LEO to high-energy orbits in under 24 hours. You will own a suite of internal web apps, architect interfaces, and design a robust development harness to keep complex engineering workflows connected at scale.

You will work closely with technical and non-technical colleagues, delivering shipped features in days, and shaping API and UI primitives that enable teams to move fast while maintaining quality on site in

Qualifications

• 4+ years of software engineering experience building production web applications.
• Strong backend coding skills and a solid understanding of how modern web applications work.
• Experience with React or similar frontend frameworks, and enough backend ability to own full features without handoffs.
• Experience using coding agents across real development workflows including investigation, planning, implementation, review and debugging.
• Willing to design and improve an agentic development harness.
• Familiarity with data structures, loading patterns, API design, state management, and database-backed applications.
• Clear written and verbal communication in English, our working language.
• Willingness to take ownership of broad, messy problems and drive them to working software.
• Nice to have: production experience with Next.js App Router, Node services, Postgres, DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, Docker/Docker Compose, Kubernetes, skills, MCP servers for AI agents, plan-first and TDD-fluent development, security & pentests, experience with aerospace systems engineering or operational experience in an aerospace company, experience with SaaS app development.
• We are an agent-driven development team. We are not looking for an AI nerd but for a full-stack developer who can challenge our processes and add value to our architecture.

Responsibilities

• Own internal web apps end to end: backend, frontend, UI, QA, testing, deployment.
• Architect interfaces, state management, APIs, schemas, and access patterns for complex workflows.
• Design and improve the development harness: agent context, repository instructions, and feedback loops, to make AI-generated changes reliable, secure, and consistent at scale.
• Turn rough engineering needs into shipped features in days, with direct feedback from the people using them.
• Integrate data and workflows across systems engineering, hardware, software, and programme execution.
• Build reliable full-stack TypeScript applications across Next.js, Node services, and Postgres.
• Improve UX where it matters: fewer clicks, clearer states, better defaults, less manual coordination.
• One day, you may sit with systems engineers to understand why a workflow breaks down etc.
