What You’ll Be Doing
Don’t make me think. We are looking for a candidate who can simplify a complex user workflow. We need a candidate that can solve customer pain points from the frontend and is not afraid to talk to users. Our challenge to you is to design and implement our frontend so the user needs virtually no product training and can get there in 2 clicks or less.
The super cool part? You are creating the interface for users to design, test, and operate hundreds of satellites. Whether they want to take pictures, beam broadband/cellular, or dock with another satellite – this is the interface they will use. That giant screen in NASA mission operations photos? That could be yours.
You’ll be working alongside another frontend developer in the engineering team that also includes backend and platform developers where we collaborate daily in an Agile Scrum environment.
