Quindar builds modern software for satellite operations, helping teams operate spacecraft with greater speed, clarity, and reliability. The company works at the intersection of aerospace, software, and operations, supporting customers who need dependable tools for complex, real-world missions.
In this Full Stack Engineer role, you will develop ground satellite operations software using Python, AWS, and modern web technologies. You will support mission-unique software development for U.S. government programs, working across backend and frontend systems while also contributing to Quindar's core product. You do not need to be a satellite expert to succeed—the company is looking for a strong software engineer excited to build reliable, scalable systems in a mission-driven environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building and maintaining backend services, APIs, and cloud-native applications for satellite operations workflows
- Developing mission-specific software for U.S. government customers while contributing to the core product platform
- Designing, integrating, and troubleshooting services using AWS technologies (EC2, S3, RDS, Fargate, EKS, CloudWatch, EFS/EBS)
- Working across backend and frontend systems, including integration with React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and modern application frameworks
- Improving scalability, security, cost efficiency, reliability, and performance of satellite operations software
- Building and supporting containerized and serverless architectures using Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines
- Collaborating with satellite operators, customers, product managers, and cross-functional partners to understand requirements and deliver capabilities
- Troubleshooting production issues, analyzing system behavior, and improving maintainability, resilience, and observability
- Automating development, deployment, and operational workflows
The role is hybrid based in Arvada, CO. Quindar emphasizes work-life balance with 15 required days off and unlimited PTO, comprehensive health insurance with 100% employee coverage, 4% 401(k) matching, quarterly wellness benefits, and annual 4-day company offsites.

- Experience with AWS services and cloud-native development patterns
- Hands-on experience with Docker, containerized applications, and Kubernetes systems
- Experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform or similar
- Familiarity with JavaScript or TypeScript, with experience either developing full-stack or frontend software or closely integrating with frontend engineers
- Experience with version control systems (Git, GitHub, GitLab, or similar)
- Strong technical analysis, debugging, and troubleshooting skills
- Ability to work independently, manage projects with minimal guidance, and deliver high-quality work on time
- High standards for software maintainability, quality, resilience, security, and performance
- Strong communication skills across engineering, product, customer, and operations stakeholders
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience building React components in TypeScript
- Experience with frameworks such as Next.js, Refine, or Vite
- Experience with Kubernetes and AWS services (EKS, ECS, CloudWatch, S3, EFS/EBS, EC2, RDS)
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines, especially with GitHub Actions
- Experience working on satellite operations, aerospace, defense, or government software systems
- Demonstrated self-starting technical ownership, including building or deeply improving a product outside of a traditional professional role
