Job description

We’re working with a Series B company building the software that helps operate satellites and space systems in real time.

When something goes wrong in orbit, when telemetry spikes, when systems need to be rerouted or optimized — their platform is what engineers use to see it, simulate it, and act on it. It’s modern software replacing legacy ground-control tooling.

They’re at ~50 people, solid revenue, growing fast, and already working with commercial space operators.

Backed by strong tier-one funds.

What You’d Do

• Build full-stack features in TypeScript (React / Node / Next.js)
• Write backend services and simulation tooling in Python
• Work on real-time data systems and reliability problems
• Own things end-to-end

Why Engineers Actually Like It

• It’s software that interacts with real hardware in space
• Hard, interesting technical problems
• Small team, high ownership

Authorized to work in the U.S. (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or TN visa holder).
