Job description

About the Role

Loft Orbital is looking for a Senior Full‑Stack Engineer to join our Oort team. Oort is our central web platform—a unified environment that consolidates all infrastructure data and tools, empowering Loft to streamline, integrate, and manage the entire mission lifecycle with unprecedented efficiency and transparency.

  • Build, and operate end‑to‑end features across backend services and web frontends that collect, manage, and surface critical infrastructure data for the full Loft mission lifecycle.
  • Design and implement APIs and integrations that connect tooling and data across teams and systems—then bring them to life with performant, accessible user interfaces.
  • Partner with program management, satellite engineering, operations, and business stakeholders to analyze and understand mission design, program, and business processes—and translate them into intuitive, reliable software.
  • Apply a product mindset across the stack : seek user feedback, identify friction in both backend workflows and UI / UX, and deliver solutions that meaningfully reduce complexity for the people and teams building and operating space infrastructure.

Must Haves

  • Demonstrated proficiency in Python for backend engineering.
  • Practical experience using Docker for containerization and deployment in scalable environments.
  • Experience in backend architecture, encompassing API design and robust database interactions.
  • Experience with modern frontend development, including component‑driven development and state management.
  • Experience building secure, accessible, and performant web applications, with attention to UX and reliability.
  • You have hands‑on experience building, operating, or integrating technologies for space missions and a passion for making complex, multi‑team technical endeavors more efficient and standardized.
  • You thrive on dissecting intricate business and technical processes, mapping them end‑to‑end—highlighting friction points and opportunities for unique solutions.
  • You excel in team environments, communicate complex ideas with clarity, and advocate for seamless collaboration between engineering, operations, and business functions.
  • You are a proactive problem solver and a respectful challenger of assumptions, comfortable owning features from design through production operations.
  • Fluency in English .
  • Nice to Haves

  • Experience in the design, modeling, or analysis of space missions, with an understanding of mission lifecycle complexities.
  • Proficiency with Django and GraphQL , and familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure platforms (e.g., GCP / AWS , Kubernetes).
  • Experience with frontend frameworks and tooling such as Next.js , Apollo, Vite, and component libraries / design systems.
  • Familiarity with testing tools across the stack (e.g., PyTest , Jest , React Testing Library , Playwright / Cypress ) and strong CI / CD practices.
  • Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
  • Who We Are

    Loft : Space Made Simple.

    Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and flexible way to deploy missions in orbit.

    We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end‑to‑end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, in‑orbit demonstrations, national security missions, and more. Loft is reducing years‑long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 25 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.

    At Loft, you’ll be given the autonomy and ownership to solve significant challenges, but with a close‑knit and supportive team at your back. We believe that diversity and community are the foundation of an open culture. We are committed to hiring the best people regardless of background and make their time at Loft the most fulfilling period of their career.

    We value kind, supportive and team‑oriented collaborators. It is also crucial for us that you are a problem solver and a great communicator. As our team is international, you will need strong English skills to better collaborate, easily communicate complex ideas and convey important messages.

    With 4 satellites on‑orbit and a wave of exciting missions launching soon, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France.

    As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.
