Aleph
Full-Stack Developer (f/m/d)
About Satellogic
Satellogic is a vertically integrated Earth Observation company that designs, manufactures, and operates satellite systems, delivering decision-grade insights at scale to government and commercial customers.
We build space systems end-to-end, from satellite design and manufacturing to launch and on-orbit operations, giving us the ability to deploy quickly, operate reliably, and support persistent monitoring across regions and priority areas. Our approach moves customers beyond one-off imagery toward continuous awareness and alert-driven decision-making, with flexible pathways that can evolve from managed monitoring to full satellite ownership and sovereign control.
Our technology supports a wide range of use cases across climate monitoring, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, defense and intelligence, helping organizations detect change, manage risk, and plan with confidence.
With a team distributed across five countries, Satellogic brings together expertise in satellite engineering, software development, data science, manufacturing, operations, and go-to-market. We’re a group of purpose-driven builders who value ownership, curiosity, and execution—and who work with humility, honesty, and empathy.
About the Aleph team
The Aleph Platform is the customer interface for all Satellogic products. The Aleph team is responsible for developing the platform's core services, APIs, and applications that define, market, and deliver these products. We collaborate closely with Sales, Mission Operations, Tasking, and Image Processing and Analytics teams to translate technical capabilities into tangible user value. Our team operates with a foundation of high trust, significant ownership, and a preference for pragmatic, data-informed decision-making.
About the Position
We are seeking an experienced Full-Stack Developer to take on End-to-End ownership of product features. This role is about more than just writing code; it's about delivering tangible product outcomes. You will be instrumental in the entire development lifecycle, from designing robust database schemas and crafting clear APIs to building intuitive user interfaces and deploying reliable features to production, always grounding your technical decisions in the ultimate goal of the customer.
Location
Hybrid work from Argentina or Spain.
Key Responsibilities
- Customer-Centric Product Development: Engage with customers to understand their needs, then design, prototype, and implement valuable, user-focused features for our Product.
- End-to-End Feature Ownership: Take full responsibility for features, spanning the entire lifecycle from initial data model and API design to web UI development and final production deployment.
- Data and System Architecture: Design and implement scalable data flows and schemas utilizing database technologies and event pipelines.
- Workflow Standardization and Evolution: Implement and continuously improve Aleph’s standardized product workflow, ensuring services communicate effectively by emitting and consuming domain events.
- Front-End and Geospatial Visualization: Develop accessible, responsive user interfaces with a focus on integrating complex geospatial visualizations, maps, and timelines.
- Technical Excellence and Reliability: Drive improvements in system reliability through automated testing, robust CI/CD pipelines, and enhanced observability practices.
- Infrastructure and Operations Contribution: Collaborate on infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines, contributing to sensible and sustainable operational practices.
- Adherence to Aleph Principles: Apply core Aleph principles—including user focus, pragmatic planning, technical excellence, robust observability, and comprehensive documentation—to guide all decision-making.
Our Principles (How We Work)
- Total Ownership: Production‑ready, observable, and measurable is our “definition of ready.”
- User Focus: Optimize for an effective, efficient, and fulfilling journey.
- Planning & Pragmatism: Clear scope, iterative delivery, no fundamentalism.
- Technical Excellence: Tests, CI/CD, code reviews, atomic releases; code that tells a story.
- Observability & Reliability: We instrument first; we learn before users feel issues.
- Data‑Driven: Define success upfront; measure and adjust.
- Team Culture: Psychological safety, candid feedback, impeccable communication, continuous learning.
- Documentation: Clear, concise docs; no knowledge silos.
Skills & Experience
The ideal candidate will have substantial experience building robust, production-grade web applications.
Core Qualifications:
- Frontend Proficiency: Strong skills in React, TypeScript, modern state management, data handling patterns, and frontend testing best practices.
- Backend & Data: Expertise in Python for building web APIs and services, along with strong data modeling capabilities for PostgreSQL.
- Event-Driven Systems: Experience in designing, emitting, and handling domain events, with familiarity with event streaming platforms like Kafka.
- Quality & Testing: Proficient in backend testing tools and practices (pytest, coverage, mocks) and frontend testing methodologies.
- Observability: Ability to implement meaningful metrics, tracing, and structured logging (familiarity with tools like AWS Lambda Powertools and Sentry is a plus).
- DevOps & Infrastructure: Solid understanding of CI/CD fundamentals and comfort with Infrastructure-as-Code (specifically Terraform).
- Security: Foundational knowledge of security and authentication principles (e.g., Auth0/OIDC, JWT, managing permissions and entitlements).
"Wow Factor" Extra Points:
Candidates with experience in the following areas will be considered outstanding:
- Geospatial Technologies: Experience with geospatial UI (deck.gl, Mapbox/MapLibre), STAC, or geospatial querying tools (pygeofilter).
- Business Integrations: Prior work with payments/billing systems (Stripe) or ERP synchronization (Acumatica).
- Data Optimization: Experience in data ingestion or optimizing time-series data.
- AWS at Scale: Advanced Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) experience managing AWS services at scale.
- Domain Expertise: Knowledge of Earth Observation workflows (including tasking, processing levels, and Quality Control).
How You’ll Succeed Here
- Problem‑First Mindset: You optimize for outcomes, not layers. You’re comfortable changing the database schema, the API, and the UI to ship the best solution.
- Architectural Fluidity: You can reason from the browser down to the data store, identifying bottlenecks and improving performance end‑to‑end.
- Collaboration & Stewardship: You communicate clearly, review with care, write docs as part of delivery, and own monitoring post‑release.
- Pragmatic Excellence: You value small, observable, reversible steps over big‑bang rewrites.
Diversity Commitment
Satellogic values diversity and inclusion and is an equal opportunity employer. We’re committed to building an equitable, inclusive environment where people of all backgrounds can do their best work.
