Orbitworks’ mission is to make space simple for organizations that want to deploy physical and virtual missions to space. Building on Loft Orbital’s heritage, Orbitworks will be the first commercial firm in the United Arab Emirates to mass-manufacture satellites. Orbitworks aims to manufacture tens of satellites annually and operates out of a 50,000-square-foot facility in Abu Dhabi.
As Orbitworks deploys next-generation Earth Observation capabilities through the Altair program, we are seeking an experienced Senior Full-Stack Web Developer to lead the design and implementation of customer-oriented software solutions that enable mission tasking, data access, analytics, and downstream services.
In this role, you will lead the development of highly interactive, high-performance applications and backend services focused on order management, geospatial datalake systems, and AI-enabled downstream processing. You will work at the intersection of space systems, geospatial intelligence, cloud-native infrastructure, and modern web technologies to create scalable products that directly support Orbitworks’ operational and commercial objectives.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the software backbone of a rapidly growing New Space company, contributing to products that manage and exploit large-scale spatiotemporal datasets in real time. The ideal candidate combines deep software engineering expertise with strong systems thinking, curiosity for innovation, and a passion for building elegant and performant user experiences.
