Full Stack Developer - AI Marketplace
About The Position
Loft Orbital is building the first marketplace for space-based AI applications, a platform where partners can publish, deploy, and monetize AI solutions that run on satellites in orbit. This role is for the founding developer of that marketplace. You will work directly with the Director of Marketplace to evolve the platform from MVP to a system supporting dozens of partner solutions. As part of a small team, you will own features end-to-end and ship weekly. The role involves building the Marketplace storefront, partner portal, and admin tooling, designing and implementing the associated APIs and services (catalog, onboarding, entitlements, metering), integrating with the mission platform for authentication, workflow triggers, and solution deployment in collaboration with engineering teams, building connectors for third-party constellations and data providers, and owning quality through tests, CI/CD, and monitoring.
