Full-Stack Developer

We’re looking for a Full Stack Developer to help design and deliver robust, secure, and high-performance web-based systems that support spacecraft operations and mission control.

As our Full Stack Developer, you’ll design, build, and maintain mission-critical web applications used for satellite operations, telemetry visualisation, and secure command interfaces. You’ll work across the full stack - from intuitive front-end dashboards to reliable, scalable back-end services - in close collaboration with systems engineers and mission operations teams.

This role is ideal for a mid to senior engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, working on high-reliability systems, and contributing to architecture and technical direction.

What you'll be responsible for:

  • Design and develop mission-critical web applications and dashboards for satellite operations and telemetry monitoring.
  • Build and maintain scalable back-end services and data pipelines to process real-time spacecraft telemetry.
  • Integrate real-time data feeds into intuitive, high-performance front-end visualisations.
  • Ensure high standards of security, reliability, performance, and code quality using modern development best practices.
  • Deploy and operate applications on cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) using containerisation and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Collaborate with systems engineers and mission teams to define requirements and deliver integrated ground-segment solutions.
  • Contribute to technical leadership, architecture decisions, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.

What we need from you:

  • Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years experience in full stack software development
  • Strong experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or similar)
  • Strong back-end experience using Node.js, Python, or .NET
  • Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and microservices
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure)
  • Solid understanding of databases (SQL and/or NoSQL)
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker), and modern DevOps practices
  • Strong understanding of secure coding principles and web security
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills

Advantageous experience:

  • Experience with real-time data systems or event-driven architectures
  • Background in mission-critical, regulated, or high-reliability environments
  • Exposure to aerospace, satellite, or space systems
  • Experience with data visualisation and complex dashboards
  • Familiarity with telemetry or ground control systems
