Job description

Frontend Engineer – Cutting Edge Satellite Software – Hybrid – Denver, CO

Are you ready to help shape the future of space technology? We are partnered with a pioneering space software company that is building modern, cloud‑native tools to manage and optimise satellite operations at scale. You will join a small, highly technical team building the interface that operators use to design, test, and fly fleets of satellites.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Frontend Engineer, you will be part of a cross‑functional product team, owning core parts of a mission‑critical web application.

You Will

• Build and maintain intuitive UIs that make complex satellite operations feel simple and low friction
• Design and develop reusable React components in TypeScript using modern frameworks such as Next.js
• Integrate with backend APIs (GraphQL and REST), focusing on efficient data fetching and responsiveness
• Collaborate closely with designers using Figma to prototype and refine workflows
• Contribute to frontend testing (Playwright or Cypress) and help maintain strong test coverage
• Participate in code reviews, CI/CD, and help improve build and deployment pipelines
• Speak directly with users to gather feedback and turn real mission needs into product improvements

Technology You Will Use

• React and TypeScript, including building component libraries
• Next.js or similar modern React frameworks
• GraphQL and REST APIs
• Figma for design collaboration and prototyping
• Git and GitHub within a team environment
• CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of professional frontend development experience
• Strong experience with React and TypeScript
• Proven ability to turn complex workflows into simple, elegant user experiences
• Comfortable collaborating in Figma and working closely with designers and product managers
• Experience integrating with APIs and working in a cloud environment
• Product‑minded mindset, thinking in terms of user outcomes rather than just tickets
• Strong communication skills and a proactive, ownership‑focused approach
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent hands‑on experience

Security Requirements

• You must hold an active DoD Secret clearance or above (TS/SCI is a strong plus)
• Due to export control regulations, you must meet US person requirements (such as US citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)

What Is On Offer

• Hybrid working (2 days in office in Denver, CO)
• Competitive salary with comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family
• 401(k) with employer match
• Generous PTO, plus most US federal holidays
• Quarterly company offsites and a strong focus on wellbeing and work‑life balance

This is an opportunity to join a mission‑driven team that is redefining how satellites are operated, and to have a direct impact on real space missions.
