About this role
Senior Software Engineer (Remote Sensing) — Arlington, VA | $155k–$185k Base If you've worked in remote sensing or satellite systems and want to own software that directly supports real-world operations, this is worth a look. I'm working with a growing aerospace organization that's hiring multiple Senior Software Engineers to build the ground and backend software behind its remote sensing platform. This isn't a role where you'll own one small piece of a much larger system. They need engineers who understand how these systems work together and can jump in across the stack when needed.

What you'll need: • Strong remote sensing experience — this is a must!!! • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience • Strong Python backend development • Experience building production REST APIs and backend services • Experience across satellite operations, ground systems, aerospace, mission software, or command-and-control systems • Exposure to scheduling systems, ideally satellite or mission scheduling • Experience working across a broader system rather than one isolated component • Proven ownership of projects from design and architecture through production • Strong system design and software architecture fundamentals • Ability to operate independently, make technical decisions, and mentor other engineers They're particularly interested in engineers who understand the bigger operational picture. You don't need to have built every piece of a remote sensing system yourself, but you should have enough breadth to contribute at di
