Xplore is a highly differentiated, venture-backed commercial space company. We design, build, and operate satellites and sensors that collect high-fidelity Earth observation data, enabling insights that support social, economic, environmental, and security outcomes across the globe.
Every image we collect is trillions of spectral data points - revealing the physical and chemical state of Earth in ways conventional imaging cannot. Our multi-sensor satellite captures and combines multi-modal remote sensing data with edge computing and high-throughput communications capabilities to generate spatial insights for our customers around the world.
In this position, you will play a role in developing and scaling the software that powers our data processing pipelines. You will be responsible for building robust, scalable systems that support low latency satellite tasking, telemetry, data automation, and image processing workflows. You’ll take ownership of complex technical challenges, ensuring high performance, reliability, and efficiency in delivering space-based data solutions.
We are hiring a Senior Full Stack Developer to lead the design and development of scalable data infrastructure powering Xplore’s satellite operations and Earth observation platform.
