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 thousands of customers, including NASA, JPL, SpaceX, Boeing, RTX, the US Space Force and the U.S. Department of War, leading research institutions and international partners.

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 Capital, Upfront Ventures, RTX Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners and Embedded Ventures. To learn more, visit observable.space.
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.
