Job description

Full Stack Software Engineer
Location: Los Angeles, CA
About Observable Space
At Observable Space, we're redefining how humanity observes and connects with the universe. We're a vertically integrated, high-growth, space technology company building industry-leading precision optics platforms for Earth and in space. Our systems are trusted by NASA, JPL, SpaceX, Boeing, Raytheon, and the US DoD, among others, and power the work of leading research institutions.
We combine precision opto-mechanical hardware, embedded computing, cloud orchestration, and developer-friendly APIs into world class products. From advanced ground stations, on orbit sensor suites, free space optical lasercom, to distributed compute platforms, we deliver the foundational systems enabling continuous, real-time navigation, observation, and communication in space.
Observable Space is backed by top-tier institutional investors including Lux, Upfront Ventures, RTX Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners and Embedded Ventures.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Full Stack Software Engineer to join our dynamic team. This role will involve deep engagement with our backend microservices, javascript front ends, and c++ edge processing applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software engineering, with specific expertise in distributed systems, relational database design, reactive frontend programming, and a keen eye for design. This role will report to the Manager of Platform Engineering.
What You'll Do
  • Design, build, and maintain backend microservices, reactive frontends, and C++ edge applications.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions for distributed systems and ensure technical scalability.
  • Design and optimize relational database schemas, ETL pipelines, and data warehousing solutions.
  • Debug and resolve complex production issues across the full software stack (backend, frontend, and edge).
  • Ensure high reliability and performance in production systems.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to define and deliver solutions for our customers.
  • Write clear technical documentation, including RFCs, design specifications, and product requirements, for multi-team projects.
  • Participate in design and code reviews, promoting best practices in test-driven development.

Basic Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in a relevant software engineering role.
  • Strong programming skills in Java, Kotlin, C++, or C# (we love our statically typed object oriented languages!).
  • Excellent data modeling skills- extensive experience working with RDBMSs, ETL processes, and data warehousing.
  • Experience in a test-driven development environment.
  • Acute product sense, placing an emphasis on user experience.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast paced dynamic environment while utilizing data to pivot to the most important task on hand.
  • An iterative mindset- perfect is the enemy of good.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Kotlin for backend programming and have an allergy to monolithic frameworks and ORMs.
  • Experience with TypeScript and React to create complex user interfaces.
  • Experience working with foreign function interfaces to call rust and c++ from the JVM.
  • A love of astronomy, physics, and science.

What We Offer
  • Competitive Compensation - A salary package aligned with industry standards and your experience.
  • Equity Opportunities - Take part in our success with stock options.
  • Flexible Work Environment - Enjoy working from our office or in a hybrid work setup with the flexibility to work remotely part of the week. We require a minimum of 3 days per week in our office to support collaboration and team culture. (LA Office only)
  • Unlimited PTO - Take the time you need with our flexible, trust-based vacation policy, including paid holidays. We encourage everyone to rest, recharge, and take care of themselves.
  • Health & Wellness - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with 100% of the premium paid by the employer for employees.
  • Cutting-Edge Tools - Get access to the latest hardware and software you need to do your best work.
  • Mission-Driven Culture - Be part of a team working on meaningful challenges with real-world impact.
  • Inclusive Team - We foster a supportive and diverse workplace where all voices are valued.

Why You'll Love It Here
  • Be part of a mission-driven company helping shape the future of space infrastructure
  • The opportunity to build and scale a global managed services organization from the ground up
  • A collaborative culture that rewards initiative, curiosity, and results
  • Competitive salary, equity opportunities, and comprehensive benefits
