Backend Engineer - Data Management Services

Loft Orbital is looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Data Management Services (DMS) team. DMS owns the Cockpit backend services that move payload data from our satellites to our customers. The team builds and maintains the services that ingest data from ground stations, process and categorize it, track it end‑to‑end, and deliver it reliably to internal tools and external endpoints.   You’ll help design and scale the microservices and data pipelines that sit between ground segment, satellite operations, and customer deliveries - turning raw on‑orbit data into usable products. You’ll work closely with backend, ground software, flight software, space infrastructure, and customer operations teams, and you’ll have a direct impact on how quickly and reliably customers receive their data. We also offer SatDevOps training, so you don’t just write the tools - you actually use them to operate spacecraft.   If you’re excited about building backend systems that move and transform satellite data at scale - and you like the idea of both shipping code and seeing how it performs in real operations - we’d love to hear from you.
