Your mission is to develop and maintain a scalable, asynchronous backend that powers OKAPI:Orbits’ end-to-end solutions across mission design, Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Traffic Management (STM), Flight Dynamics (FD)and Space Traffic Coordination (STC) — supporting the full lifecycle of satellite operators.

You design and implementrobust Java-based microservices that process and distribute large volumes of orbital and telemetry data, enabling reliable APIs and automation pipelines.
You work on the systems that allow satellite operators and space agencies to analyse, coordinate, and protect their missions in an increasingly congested space environment.

Research shows that women are less likely than men to apply for a position unless they meet 100% of the listed requirements. Please know that it’s your case — but you are passionate about space technology, building reliable software, andcontributing to a more sustainable space environment — we strongly encourage you to apply.
OKAPI:Orbits already brings together a highly diverse team, and we actively continue to strengthen this diversity, as research consistently shows that heterogeneous teams achieve higher performance and drive innovation.

• Design, develop, and maintain asynchronous, microservice-based backend systems in Java, with selected components or utilities in Python
• Implement and optimize data processing and distribution pipelines handling large volumes of orbital, telemetry, and mission data
• Design and maintain message-based communication between microservices (e.g. via RabbitMQ or similar brokers)
• Collaborate closely with space engineers and scientists to translate mission requirements into reliable, scalable software solutions
• Take ownership of backend architecture, ensuring performance, fault tolerance, and maintainability across distributed services
• Define and document implementation plans, from system design to deployment in a cloud-native environment
• Maintain a high level of code quality, automated testing, and compliance with security and engineering standards
• Improve CI/CD pipelines, observability, and automation to support continuous delivery and system stability
• Analyze and resolve complex issues in distributed systems, focusing on efficiency and robustness
• Work in small, interdisciplinary teams, contributing backend expertise to cross-functional projects

• Familiarity with agile methodologies (Scrum or Kanban) and collaboration tools (Jira, Confluence)
• Experience in technical leadership, code reviews, and maintaining coding standards

• Flat hierarchy,small teams, flexible hours
• Onboarding inBraunschweig, afterwardson-site in Brunswick, orhybrid in Brunswick or Munich
• Early ownership,influence technical direction
• Training budget for continuous development
• Corporate benefits like BahnCard 25/50, bike leasing,German classes via Lingoda
• Joinspace events and conferences, advocate for sustainable space
• Free office drinks, monthly company lunch, regular after-work activities
