Job description

Wanna join the adventure?

Loft Orbital builds and operates satellites, and behind every mission is a web of business systems: ERP, PLM, MES, issue tracking, finance, and a growing toolkit of in-house software. Each holds part of the story; none of them tells the whole thing. We’re looking for an Information Systems Data Engineer to connect them. You’ll design Loft’s centralized database, build the pipelines that feed it, and deliver the reporting that shows how we’re really performing. If you like writing code that turns messy, scattered data into something people actually rely on, we’d love to talk.

• Design, build, and maintain a centralized SQL Server database and the data model that connects Loft’s business systems
• Develop and operate Python/SQL ETL pipelines from NetSuite, Arena, ION, Jira, and other sources, managed in GitLab with CI/CD
• Build Power BI dashboards and reports that monitor operational performance and KPIs
• Develop and support NetSuite customizations, including SuiteScripts, workflows, and saved searches
• Partner with Operations, Finance, Engineering, and IT to gather requirements and deliver integrations and tools
• Document systems and data flows, and promote data quality, governance, and change control
