Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

What you will be doing:

  • Building and scaling Python services that power our flight dynamics pipelines
  • Optimizing and refactoring existing systems for performance and maintainability
  • Building internal tools and dashboards for mission operations
  • Coordinate with multiple teams across the company (FSW, AIT, Mission Ops, etc.) to gather requirements and feature requests to be implemented

What you bring to this role:

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, or similar)
  • Strong Python skills with a server-side framework (Django, FastAPI, or similar)
  • Worked with relational databases (Postgres) and data stores like S3 or InfluxDB
  • Experience with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD systems (Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar)
  • Comfortable working in codebases with domain-specific complexity

Bonus:

  • Charting libraries for telemetry visualization (Chart.js, Plotly, Grafana)
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Exposure to aerospace, satellite operations, or orbital mechanics concepts

Additional Requirements This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
