Job description

Space is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Thousands of satellites launch every year, and the market behind them is booming - with Poland right in the middle of it, home to a fast-rising space sector.

Liftero is at the heart of this trend. We build propulsion systems for the thousands of spacecraft coming to orbit, with the ambition to become the global leader in satellite propulsion - the transport layer of the space economy. Our goal is clear: deploy 1,000 propulsion systems in space.

Our core product is Booster, a non-toxic chemical propulsion system built from first principles for the NewSpace era. It has already been validated in space.

As a fast-scaling company, we combine agility with long-term ambition to serve the booming small-satellite market. Joining now means a front-row seat to space technology and real ownership over what we build.

At Liftero, we fly things!
