We're partnering with a well-funded aerospace startup developing next-generation space systems that are redefining what's possible in orbital operations. Backed by leading venture investors and supported by major U.S. government programs, the company has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting engineering organizations in the commercial space industry.
You'll join an engineer-first culture where small, highly talented teams own complex technical problems from concept through deployment. Engineers are trusted to make meaningful architectural decisions, move quickly, and spend the vast majority of their time building software that directly supports real missions—not navigating layers of process.
The team is tackling challenges that few organizations in the world are working on today, with technology that has both immediate national security applications and enormous long-term commercial potential.
The Ground Software team builds the systems that communicate with spacecraft and power mission operations. You'll develop the software responsible for command and control, telemetry, mission planning, and the infrastructure that connects operators with vehicles in orbit.
Working closely with flight software, infrastructure, and mission operations teams, you'll help build highly reliable distributed systems where performance and correctness directly impact mission success.
Whether you're an experienced engineer looking to own major architectural decisions or an early-career engineer with aerospace or robotics experience, you'll have the opportunity to work on software that operates at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, and space technology.
What You'll Do
- Design and develop mission-critical ground software used to communicate with spacecraft.
- Build scalable backend systems supporting telemetry, command & control, and mission operations.
- Develop software that integrates closely with flight software and vehicle systems.
- Partner with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver end-to-end capabilities.
- Contribute to software architecture, reliability, testing, and operational tooling.
We're Looking For
- Experience building production software for complex backend or distributed systems.
- Background in aerospace, robotics, autonomous systems, aviation, or other highly engineered environments.
- Experience designing or building ground software or systems that interface with embedded or flight software is highly desirable.
- Strong programming skills in Rust, C++, Go, Python, or similar languages (Rust experience is a plus).
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking, APIs, and software architecture.
- Senior engineers should have experience leading system design and technical direction.
Nice to Have
- Ground station or mission operations experience.
- Flight software integration.
- Satellite communications, telemetry, or command & control systems.
- Fault-tolerant distributed systems.
Why Join?
- Work on technology that is pushing the boundaries of the commercial space industry.
- Join a rapidly growing company backed by top-tier investors and major government partnerships.
- Engineer-first culture with exceptional technical talent.
- High ownership, minimal bureaucracy, and the opportunity to shape critical systems from the ground up.
- Build software that directly supports real-world missions and cutting-edge aerospace programs.

I'm working with a well-funded, ~45-person fintech client that's building the intelligent infrastructure layer for private credit, an asset class that today runs almost entirely on spreadsheets, PDFs, and tribal knowledge. Every deal, every filing, every covenant lives in a different format, in a different system. My client is building the platform that turns that chaos into something the whole business can query, trust, and build decisions on top of. Think Bloomberg terminal, but for private credit.
They're now hiring a Core Platform Lead to join the data platform team and report directly to the CTO. This isn't a "join the team and pick up tickets" role. You'll be sitting hand in hand with their lead engineer as a true peer and thought partner, someone who challenges the architecture and pushes back on ideas, not someone who just executes on them. The team is intentionally lean right now, and this hire is the person who fills the biggest current gap: nobody on the team has deep experience building out data ingestion from scratch.
What the role actually involves
- Owning the data ingestion and processing layer that the rest of the business runs on, from raw, messy, heterogeneous financial data through to something clean and queryable
- Making first-principles calls on build vs. buy: understanding when a tool like dbt or Airflow genuinely solves the problem, and when the off-the-shelf option falls short of what the business actually needs
- Working in Rust at the core of systems where correctness and speed aren't a nice to have, they're the entire point given the financial decisions riding on this data
- Solving real data governance problems along the way: data quality, lineage, access controls, and handling of sensitive financial data
- Helping shape how the data platform evolves as the company scales, not just maintaining what already exists
- Having a genuine voice in engineering culture and process as the team grows around you
What my client is looking for
- Deep, real Rust experience. They care about tradeoffs and language fundamentals, not just syntax familiarity, and treat strong Rust ability as a signal of engineering strength more broadly
- Strong distributed systems and large-scale backend experience
- Someone who's either built large-scale ingestion pipelines or data infrastructure from scratch before, or is genuinely hungry to. You don't need to have done it at Datadog scale, but that's the kind of background that gets them excited
- A communicator who can think deeply but explain concisely. They want someone who can go toe to toe technically without turning every conversation into a lecture
- Product curiosity. You don't need to walk in already understanding finance or underwriting, but you do need to want to learn how the people using this system actually use it
- A healthy, balanced perspective on AI in engineering work. Not a skeptic, not a zealot, just someone who can help the team think clearly about where it actually helps
Comp & Location
$200k-$250k. NYC hybrid preferred for those local (the CTO likes the team in person occasionally), fully remote is genuinely fine if you're not NYC-based. Open to a fully remote setup for an exceptional candidate regardless of location in the USA.
I'm running this search personally, not handing it off, so if this sounds like your kind of problem, drop me a message and I'll walk you through everything else.
