Working in the Ground Segment Software Development Team

Ground Segment Software Development Team builds satellite-related software that is used by internal operators and external customers alike, to operate a constellation of multi-customer, multi-satellite and multi-ground station missions. Our products are cloud-native web-based applications built with modern technologies (React, Typescript, Kubernetes, Golang, etc).

The team works using a DevOps and Agile methodology, combining frequent iteration cycles with the responsibility of keeping the application operative.

What will you be doing?

As a Senior Front End Engineer, you’ll lead the design, development, testing, and maintenance of our mission operation UI. You’ll champion best practices, guide front end developers, and make key architectural and technology decisions. You’ll work closely with users to understand their needs and shape features accordingly. You'll also drive performance, reliability, and test coverage, while continuously seeking ways to improve our tools, processes, and platform.

What you need to be successful

We’re more interested in what you can do than being dogmatic about your background! We’d love to take a look at your CV even if you’re not sure you tick all the boxes.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

Strong programming knowledge in React + TypeScript with emphasis on good programming principles.
Good understanding of common techniques, testing and CI/CD to increase the quality of our code.
Hands-on knowledge establishing and promoting best practices for creating maintainable and reliable software within the team.
Clear and concise communication with effective listening, getting to the core of messages and responding appropriately.
