Backend Engineering Intern: Ground Platform Control

Loft Orbital is looking for a Backend Engineering Intern to join our Ground Platform, Control Team. The Control team owns the backend services that let Loft operators and customers command, monitor, and automate our satellite fleet through Cockpit, our mission control system. You'll help build and scale the microservices that sit between ground and flight software, turning high-level intent into safe, reliable on-orbit operations. Our team sits in the middle of Flight Software, Satellite Operations, and Test teams, giving you the chance to learn about the full end-to-end systems that go into launching and operating a satellite mission. If you're excited about building backend systems that directly control satellites — and you like the idea of both shipping code and helping fly missions — we'd love to hear from you.
