Job summary

Loft Orbital is hiring the founding developer of the Marketplace to take the platform from MVP to a production system powering dozens of partner solutions. You will own features end-to-end in a small team and ship weekly, collaborating closely with the Director of Marketplace.

You'll design APIs, build the storefront and admin tooling, and connect with cloud-native infrastructure on GCP. Prior experience shipping a marketplace or developer platform is highly valued.

Qualifications

• 4+ years building and shipping full-stack products.
• Experience with Sprint development.
• Strong TypeScript/React on the front end and solid backend experience in Python, Go, or Node.
• Cloud-native by default (we run on GCP): containers/kubernetes, managed services, infrastructure as code.
• Comfortable with API design, OAuth, and multi-tenant authorization.
• Fluent with AI-assisted development workflows and expected to use them.
• You have shipped a zero-to-one product, ideally a marketplace, developer platform, or SaaS portal, and you like small teams with large scope.

Responsibilities

• Build the Marketplace storefront, partner portal, and admin tooling.
• Design and implement the APIs and services behind them: catalog, onboarding, entitlements, and metering.
• Integrate with our mission platform for authentication, workflow triggers, and solution deployment in close collaboration with engineering teams.
• Build connectors for third-party constellations and data providers.
• Own quality: tests, CI/CD, monitoring.
