Description

About Us We are building the digital defence & navigation layer for space. Our mission is to fuse sensor data from orbit and ground into real-time space intelligence. Every product we ship safeguards missions, reduces risks, and strengthens security in the most contested domain of the 21st century: space. We are looking for a builder at heart — someone who can architect, prototype, and ship world-class products while leading a high-performance team. Why This Role? As Director of Software Engineering, you’ll own the design and development of our software stack. You will write code, review architectures, and solve hard technical problems while also scaling a team around you, from Python pipelines that crunch terabytes of orbital data, to AWS architectures that scale globally, to WebGL visualisations that give operators a map of space. What You’ll Do • Architect and build core software platforms. • Prototype new products quickly, then scale them into robust, secure systems. • Lead hands-on development of real-time visualisation, analytics, and data processing pipelines. • Hardwire security-first practices into every layer: cloud infra, APIs, data, and UI. • Collaborate with Astrodynamics & product teams to deliver tightly integrated systems. • Build and mentor a team of exceptional engineers who share the same “build-first” ethos. • Push the boundary of what’s possible in defence-grade software systems for space. What We’re Looking For • 10–12 years of software product development experience with a track record of shipping products end-to-end. • Mastery in Python, AWS cloud infra, distributed systems, and data-intensive applications. • Strong experience with WebGL or equivalent 3D/graphics rendering frameworks. • Deep understanding of cybersecurity, encryption, and hardened systems. • Ability to operate as a builder–leader hybrid: coding, reviewing, and guiding teams at the same time. • Experience in defence, aerospace, fintech, or other high-stakes sectors is a plus. Why This Role is Different This role entails building the digital defence layer for space. Few ever get the chance to shape an industry this rare, and fewer still to create systems that safeguard missions, protect national assets, and outlast our own generation. Here, every product you build becomes part of a legacy that will define how space is mapped, secured, and defended for decades to come. Job Location: Hebbal, Bengaluru
