Job description
Wanna Join the Adventure?
If you’re looking for a role that mixes Backend development, satellites and space infrastructure you’ve knocked at the right door!
We are looking for a Backend Engineer to join the Ground Products team and build a product to ensure our missions and programs are ready to fly:
- by tracking and storing in-orbit configurations, test results, setup details and versioning context,
- by linking tests and mission requirements to track coverage.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting edge technology, helping build modern automated space infrastructure, where software is the centre piece. You will be developing our future tools and systems but also working on real-time issues on live missions, helping to solve problems as they occur.
The stack we are using: Python3, Django, GraphQL, GitlabCI, Kubernetes
Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized 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.
About This Role:
- Work on in-orbit and soon-to-launch missions
- Automate and streamline the testing process of our missions to allow our space infrastructure to scale
- Write code: develop, maintain and support features
- Design solutions to best support our users
- Be a team player:
- Play an active role in selecting new technologies for the team
- Work closely with the Flight and Integration teams based in Toulouse, Golden and San Francisco
- Be involved in our team growth to build a talented, diverse and inclusive team (coding challenge, technical screening, meetup/events).
Must Haves:
- Python
- Docker
- API design
- Version control (git) and CI frameworks (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Travis CI, …)
- Web development backend frameworks experience
- Curiosity and a problem-solver mindset
Nice to Haves:
- Django (ORM, query optimization)
- Pytest
- GraphQL
- Database experience
- Kubernetes
- Experience with a Cloud platform (GCP or AWS)
Some of Our Awesome Benefits:
- 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance option for employees and dependents
- Flexible Time Off policy for vacation and sick
- 401(k) plan and equity options
- Daily catered lunches and snacks

Who We Are
Loft Orbital builds “shareable” satellites, providing a fast & simple path to orbit for organizations that require access to space. Powered by our hardware & software products, we operate satellites, fly customer payloads onboard, and handle entire missions from end to end - significantly reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission.
Our standard interface enables us to fly multiple customer payloads on the same satellite, with capabilities such as earth imagery, weather & climate /science data collection, IoT connectivity, in-orbit demonstrations, and national security missions. Our customers trust us to manage their space infrastructure, so they can focus on what matters most to them: operating their mission and collecting their data.
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 3 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.
