What are the responsibilities and job description for the Information Systems Data Engineer position at Loft Orbital?
Wanna join the adventure?
Loft Orbital builds and operates satellites, and behind every mission is a web of business systems: ERP, PLM, MES, issue tracking, finance, and a growing toolkit of in-house software. Each holds part of the story; none of them tells the whole thing. We’re looking for an Information Systems Data Engineer to connect them. You’ll design Loft’s centralized database, build the pipelines that feed it, and deliver the reporting that shows how we’re really performing. If you like writing code that turns messy, scattered data into something people actually rely on, we’d love to talk.
About this role:
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
State law requires us to tell you the base compensation range for this role, which is $90,000- $130,000 per year. This is determined by your education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities. The salary range for this role is intentionally wide as we evaluate individuals based on their unique experience and abilities to fit our needs. Most importantly, we are excited to meet you, and see if you are a great fit for our team. What we can’t quantify for you are the exciting challenges, supportive team, and amazing culture we enjoy.
