Hydrosat
Overview
Hydrosat is a space and data analytics company building a new Earth Observation constellation and software to unlock the power of thermal infrared imagery. Our mission is to capture and deliver high spatio-temporal resolution thermal infrared data, not available from other sources, to provide insights that benefit the environment, enhance food and water security, and serve other critical applications. Our ground segment engineering team combines best-in-class remote sensing, software engineering and large scale cloud computing to take data from our in-house satellites to deliver novel data products. As a
Senior Backend Software Engineer , you will design and maintain systems that power tooling for both Hydrosat’s internal users and external customers of our data products. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams - including cloud engineers, space systems engineers, and software developers - to build reliable, scalable solutions. Your work will include developing an identity and access management system, creating new features for our data delivery APIs, and building other backend services that support satellite operations. Responsibilities
Architect and develop scalable, distributed backend systems that support mission-critical internal tools and customer-facing applications Own projects end-to-end: from design and prototyping through deployment, monitoring, and iteration Collaborate cross-functionally with cloud, space systems, and data engineering teams to integrate satellite and ground data pipelines into robust products Mentor and guide engineers by sharing best practices and fostering a culture of technical excellence Contribute to quality by conducting code reviews, writing tests, and improving engineering processes Leverage modern technologies such as Node.js, TypeScript, Python, AWS, Docker, and OpenSearch to deliver performant and maintainable systems Qualifications
US Citizen or Permanent Resident 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with proven impact across multiple systems and teams Strong expertise in Python and Node.js/TypeScript Experience with both relational and NoSQL databases Solid understanding of the full software development lifecycle: design, development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and operations Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation Deep knowledge of cloud environments (AWS or equivalent), including scaling and monitoring distributed applications Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver high-quality solutions Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work independently and in a collaborative team environment Nice to have
DevOps experience with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes Experience with modern Python programming using libraries like Pydantic, Asyncio, etc. Familiarity with the geospatial and Earth observation sector Benefits
