Full Stack Developer - AI Marketplace

Wanna join the adventure?

Loft Orbital flies other people's payloads and software on standardized satellites, and we are building the first marketplace for space-based AI applications: the store where partners publish, deploy, and monetize AI solutions that run on satellites in orbit. We are hiring the founding developer of that marketplace. You will work directly with the Director of Marketplace to take the platform from MVP to the system behind dozens of partner solutions, on a small team where you own features end-to-end and ship weekly.

• Build the Marketplace storefront, partner portal, and admin tooling.
• Design and implement the APIs and services behind them: catalog, onboarding, entitlements, and metering.
• Integrate with our mission platform for authentication, workflow triggers, and solution deployment in close collaboration with engineering teams.
• Build connectors for third-party constellations and data providers.
• Own quality: tests, CI/CD, monitoring.

• 4+ years building and shipping full-stack products.
• Experience with Sprint development.
• Strong TypeScript/React on the front end and solid backend experience in Python, Go, or Node.
• Cloud-native by default (we run on GCP): containers/kubernetes, managed services, infrastructure as code.
• Comfortable with API design, OAuth, and multi-tenant authorization.
• Fluent with AI-assisted development workflows and expected to use them.
• You have shipped a zero-to-one product, ideally a marketplace, developer platform, or SaaS portal, and you like small teams with large scope.

• Billing integrations (Stripe or similar).
• Geospatial or earth observation exposure.
• Security-minded engineering (tenant isolation, audit trails).
• Experience in the architecture of modern systems.

 *Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions.  We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
