Full Stack Engineer

Quindar develops software for satellite ground operations and supports U.S. government missions and satellite operators. The Full Stack Engineer will develop and maintain backend and frontend software, APIs, and AWS integrations while contributing to the scalability, security, performance, and reliability of satellite operations systems.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for developing ground satellite operations software using Python and AWS services. Don't worry, you do not need to be an expert in satellites or understand space! Satellites are just flying servers you can connect to every 90 minutes but we connect to hundreds of them

You will primarily be responsible for supporting mission unique software development across backend and frontend in support of the U.S. government, but you will also contribute to Quindar’s core product development

You will develop APIs, integrate with various AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, Fargate, and EKS along with focusing on scalability, security, cost, and performance of the software. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including satellite operators, customers, and other software engineers to understand requirements, implement new features, and troubleshoot issues. Your strong knowledge of AWS services and best practices will enable you to optimize resource utilization and automate processes, ultimately contributing to the efficient and reliable operations of thousands of satellites

Preferred

• Experience with Kubernetes and preferred experience with AWS services such as Lambda, ECS, EKS, CloudWatch, S3, EFS/EBS, EC2, and RDS
