Why this role matters:
As a Senior Fullstack Software Engineer, you'll build and operate the systems that turn satellite tasking into transparent, reliable customer experiences, end to end.
You will join a team in the company's engineering domain responsible for a customer-facing Web UI that enables tasking our satellite fleet and analyzing the resulting data. Our scope covers the full lifecycle, from planning an imaging task on a map, through the backend services that process and validate that request, to successful product delivery. That process has to be understandable, monitorable and transparent.
You will work closely with product managers, UX designers and other engineers to design, build, operate and evolve these systems, with direct access to your users and their needs.
Our stack spans React, TypeScript and CSS on the frontend, and a Node.js/TypeScript with Postgres on the backend, integrating with Go-based systems owned by other teams. We value automated testing, continuous delivery and modern code practices, including AI-assisted engineering with Claude, Cursor and Devin.
You will work in a diverse and experienced team of engineers, collaborating across team and domain boundaries in a fast-moving, high-reliability environment.
Who We Are
The company is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.
The company owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation, we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system.
The company-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.
Your day-to-day responsibilities
Ship features and improvements across the tasking-to-delivery Web UIs and their supporting APIs, reliably and predictably within the team's agile delivery cadence.
Design and build backend services and data models in Node.js/TypeScript and Postgres, alongside clean, well-tested React/TypeScript frontend contributions.
Raise code quality and maintainability across the stack through active participation in code review, on both frontend and backend changes.
Maintain reliability, observability and performance of live production systems, frontend and backend, through safe, incremental and monitored deployments.
Translate product, customer and stakeholder input into shipped, end-to-end solutions, working effectively across team and engineering domain boundaries.
Take ownership of features across the full stack, from UI to API to data layer, rather than handing off pieces at the boundary.
Make the impossible possible: We set ambitious goals and stay calm under pressure. We bring grit, optimism and ownership when things get hard, and we keep moving until we find a way.
Be curious: Go deep, ask questions, listen carefully and think critically. Understand the "why" behind decisions.
See the big picture: Stay close to what's happening across the company so you can make better decisions. Consider how your work affects others.
Drive effective teamwork: Create psychological safety, invite different perspectives and build inclusive teams. There are no bad questions.
Act as one team: We win together. We match tasks to the right owner and stay agile as priorities shift.
Have fun: What we do matters, and it should be enjoyable. Celebrate progress, take pride in results and share the wins.
